Pile pickup lowered
If the height indicator for the pile pickup (3) has an orange background because the
pile pickup has been lowered, the telescopic arm can only be moved left and right and
up and down without additional action. As soon as the telescopic arm is extended or
retracted the driver's seat must be rotated forward. The rotatable seat status indicator
(1) on the R-Touch must display green (display range between -20%/0%/+20%). The
"Look forward" foot switch (2) on the floor of the cabin must be pressed.

The "Look forward" foot switch (2) must always be pressed and held if remaining beets
are being picked up. All rollers in the pickup will stop as soon as this foot switch is
released (dead-man circuit). The rollers can only be reactivated at the right joystick if
the rotatable seat is rotated forward and the "Look forward" foot switch (2) is pressed.
The pile pickup can only be lifted as soon as the rotatable seat is rotated away from
the central area. All other functions of the pile pickup will be blocked.
If the rollers in the pickup are rotating and the pile pickup is lowered below the above-
mentioned height limit, the driver will still have time to rotate the driver's seat forward
until the green zero range is displayed on the R-Touch and to press the "Look forward"
foot switch (2). It takes a few seconds for the safety circuit to actuate. A visual display
on the R-Touch and an acoustic warning signal informs the driver of this period.
If the "Look forward" foot switch is continuously pressed (e.g. electrically bridged or
continuously mechanically pressed), the machine drive cannot be activated.
If the R-Touch shows this icon , the pile pickup must be rotated to the centre and
lifted before lifting the pickup.
The pickup must be lowered before swivelling the pile pickup far to the right or left. If
the pickup is not lowered sufficiently, the R-Touch shows the following icon .
Before picking up remaining beets, we recommend lowering the pickup a few centime-
tres at very low speed and picking the remaining beets as follows:
