Please read the following safety instructionscarefullybefore using the product for the first time.
▪Nobody must stay in the proximity of the tractor or trailed implement during operation.
▪Never remove any safety mechanisms or stickers from the product.
▪Read the operating instructions to the agricultural device which you want to control by using the
product.
▪Before charging the tractor battery, always disconnect the connection between the tractor and
the terminal TRAIL-Control II.
▪Before welding on the tractor or implement, always disconnect the power supply to the terminal.
▪Before maintenance or repair to the tractor, always disconnect the connection between the
tractor and the terminal.
▪Do not make any unauthorized modifications to the product. Unauthorized modifications or use
may impair safety and reduce the service life or operability of the unit. Modifications are
considered unauthorized if they are not described in the product documentation.
Hazard Area
The hazard area covers an area of several meters around the tractor and towed equipment in all
directions. The greater the size of the towed equipment, the greater the hazard area. For example:
The wider the spraying rods of an agricultural sprayer, the further it can swing out and therefore its
hazard area is greater.
Danger of Injury from Uncontrolled Machine Movements
◦Pay attention that nobody enters the hazard area!
◦Switch off the system immediately, as soon as a person enters the hazard area!
As soon as the system has been assembled and switched on, nobody may remain in the hazard
area.
When the TRAIL-Controll II is switched on, there is a risk that pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic
system could cause the drawbar or the steering knuckle to move uncontrolledly.
Pressure fluctuations can, for example, occur in the following instances:
▪If the hydraulic system is defective
▪If the hydraulic system is used for purposes other than for controlling steering ofthe drawbar and
knuckle.
The hazard area may then only be entered if the following conditions are fulfilled:
▪The person entering the area must be informed of the potential dangers
▪All activities must be precisely agreed between the driver and the person appointed to enter the
area.
▪All maintenance, configuration and monitoring work must, if possible, be conducted when the
system is switched off.
