Reproducing the boom slope when turning
 
This function assists you when working on slopes.
 
 
 
Mode of operation
 
 
 
The boom is sloped when working on a hillside. The function saves the angle of slope.
After a turning manoeuvre, the angle of slope is reproduced when the field sprayer is travelling in the opposite direction.
