DISCLAIMER
The safety instructions contained in the manuals of the tractor or implements must be complied with at all
times.
Always switch off the tractor before installing or repairing hydraulic and electrical components of the
SBGuidance system.
It is strictly prohibited to use the CR7 system on public roads.
It is strictly prohibited to leave a driving vehicle unattended when the CR7 system is switched on. The driver is
always responsible for the direction and course of the vehicle.
To prevent injury or fire, replace defective fuses only with fuses of the same type and amperage.
The SBGuidance the operating system is not able to detect and avoid obstacles. If there is an obstacle in your
path, you will always need to take action for it to be avoided.
Only allow authorized/qualified persons to operate the system. Authorized/qualified persons are defined as:
persons who have read and understood the manual, have been given instructions by a product specialist, and
who are both physically and mentally fit and able to operate the system.
The system contains moving parts! Make sure the immediate environment is clear of people before operating
the system.
In case of system failure or breakdown switch of the tractor and disconnect the electrical power source to
avoid further damage. Contact your dealer for further instructions on how to repair your system.
Always wear personal protective equipment when operating/adjusting/repairing the system outside of the
tractor cab.
In order to prevent power surges from occurring, always start the machine first, before initiating the
SBGuidance control system.
Only touch the touch-screen with your finger or by using a special touch-screen stylus/pen. Operating the
touch-screen with sharp objects may cause permanent damage to the screen.
Always consult your supplier as to which products are best suited first before cleaning the touch-screen with
chemicals or alcohol.
If the terminal is not used for a long period, better remove the terminal from the tractor and store in a heated
environment. This will extend the life span of the electronic components.
To prevent theft, it is better to not let the terminal and GPS-antenna unattended in the tractor on the field.
