The pile pickup can be used to move the tip of a beet pile to the outsides of the
pickup. The remaining beet pickup (plastic part) is attached to the pile pickup. It is
used to pull the last beets of a pile to the pickup. The pile pickup is controlled with the
left joystick.

DANGER
There is a risk of the severest or even deadly injuries for people staying in the hazard
zone. Especially in the sector of the pickup, people or objects may be drawn into run-
ning shafts by body parts or clothing. In this case, body parts may be ripped off and
fragmented. Objects may be drawn in by the rollers and destroyed or cause severe
damage to the pickup of the machine.
The operator is obliged to immediately shut down the machine as soon as people
or animals enter the hazard zone or reach into the hazard zone with objects.
It is expressly prohibited to place sugar beets not having been lifted by the machine
into the machine manually or using tools, as long as the machine is running.
The engine must be shut down before maintenance and repair work and the igni-
tion key must be removed.
In all cases, please read the operating manual and comply with the safety instruc-
tions.
In the past, these activities have lead to severest accidents. Staying under lifted
machine parts or within the swivelling perimeter of machine parts is hazardous and
therefore prohibited.
Pile pickup raised
The display for the pile pickup height (3) on the R-Touch retains a green background
so long as the pile pickup is sufficiently high. The green indicates that the safety circuit
is not active during loading. The pile pickup can be used without restriction (e.g. in the
frozen beet pile) so long as it does not fall below a specific minimum height.
