6.14.2 Depth guide
There are seven depth-control wheels on the depth-control shaft at the lifting unit.
As the name suggests, these wheels are not supposed to bear the load of the lifter,
but just to serve as sensors for the ground surface. For this reason, the lifting unit is
largely supported by the two three-point cylinders located between the chassis and the
main lifting unit frame. These two cylinders are controlled via an electronically regu-
lated valve block.
Depth control is automatically activated when the depth-control shaft touches the
ground. The R-Touch displays the icon . If the machine is stopped during lifting,
then the automated system stops operation. When the machine starts driving again,
automatic depth-control restarts operation.
The hectare counter always records the area lifted when depth control is active.

The sensitivity of the regulation can be set in 10 stages in the "Main settings" menu,
"Attachment" submenu, "Step depth guidance" line.
If one of the two staying close warning icons appears on the R-Touch while raising the
three-point suspension, the depth-control roller cannot completely swing down. It can
be caused by foreign objects near the depth-control shaft suspension.
