TRAIL-ControlTRAIL-Control – Using drawbar and stub axle steeringSteering the trailed implementSteering the trailed implement against the slope
 
 
Steering the trailed implement against the slope
 
For working on slopes, you can use the 'slope counter-steering' function.
 
 
 
Mode of operation
 
 
 
When you activate the 'slope counter-steering' function, you can offset the track of the trailed implement to the left or right. The direction in which the track is offset depends on if the slope climbs or declines to the left or right of the implement.
 
 
The aim of the "slope counter-steering" function is to prevent the trailed implement from driving inclined to the direction of work on a slope.

Slope countersteer
Slope direction
Degree of the slope. Measured by the slope sensor.
On level ground, the  SY_JR3_Gegen Hang_Eben icon must appear here when the function is activated. If this is not the case, the slope sensor is not calibrated.
The slope sensor is calibrated during the TRAIL-Control calibration. Repeat this calibration when the slope sensor has to be calibrated.
Steering direction of the system. While driving, the system steers the trailed implement against the slope until the desired angle is achieved. Then the arrow is no longer displayed.
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
 
To activate the "Slope counter-steering" function:
1.
Switch to the "TRAIL-Control" screen:
 FS_JR3_Einstellungn-Menü >  FS_JR3_Achslenkung-Einstellungen
or
 FS_JR3_Einstellungn-Menü >  FS_JR3_TC-DL Einstellungen
2.
 TC_JR3_ASL_Gegen Hang - Activate or deactivate function:
⇨
On the screen, you can see whether the function is activated:
 SY_Hang-Gegenlenkung ON - Function enabled
 SY_Hang-Gegenlenkung OFF - Function disabled.
 
 
Using slope counter-steering in automatic mode
 
When you work in automatic mode, the trailed implement is steered automatically.
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
 
To steer against the slope in automatic mode:
þ
The trailed implement is equipped with a slope sensor.
þ
During the calibration of TRAIL-Control, the slope sensor was mounted on the frame of the sprayer. The sensor position has not changed since.
þ
Automatic mode is activated.
þ
"Slope countersteer" function is activated.
þ
The vehicle with the trailed implement is moving on the slope.
1.
 FS_JR3_DL_Nach links,  FS_JR3_DL_Nach rechts or  FS_JR3_Achsschenkel nach links,  FS_JR3_Achsschenkel nach rechts - Manually steer the trailed implement to the correct position behind the tractor.
⇨
The work screen displays the icon  SY_JR3_Gegen Hang_Neigung L. The red colour marks the target position of the angle sensor on the drawbar.
⇨
Each time you press a function icon, the triangle becomes more or less red in colour.
⇨
TRAIL-Control will try to steer the trailed implement into this position, until you correct the position manually again.
2.
After turning, when the slope lies on the other side of the trailed implement, the angle will be reproduced on the other side.
 
 
 
Using slope counter-steering in manual mode
 
In manual mode, you must steer the trailed implement manually against the slope. Here, you can decide yourself whether the trailed implement should follow the track of the tractor or whether it should be offset.
