When making the connection between the machine (mounted equipment) and the Terminal for the first time, the programme for the control of the machine is transmitted from the computer on the machine to the Terminal.

The transfer process can take several minutes, until the first control menu of the machine is displayed.

When transferring the programme, the menus are stored in the memory of the Terminal. After switching the Terminal off and on again, the menus are displayed after approx. 5 seconds.

If, after switching on, the “Start Menu” of the machine, e.g. QUANTUM 6800 S (Fig. 30) is not displayed, the memory of the Terminal is full and the programme cannot be stored.

The Terminal has memory space for several programmes for machine control (mounted equipment). In order to be able to store an additional programme if the memory is full, you must first delete a programme.

The control programme for the QUANTUM needs approx. 50 kB free memory.

11.4 Steering axle 11.4.1 General information Note!

With the steering axle the rear wheels of the self-loading forage wagon are steered by the friction between the wheel and the ground.

Under critical driving situations the steering of the wheels can be prevented by using a hydraulic cylinder.

Critical driving situations are:

37

• • • •

Driving over the travelling silo, Reversing, Driving on inclined ground.

Depending upon the local conditions or the application, other situations can arise where involuntary steering of the wheels can create a critical driving situation.

Attention!

The steering axle must be locked to prevent the wheels steering unexpectedly when driving over the silo, when reversing or when driving on slopes!

Damage to machine or other items arising from critical driving situations.

– Steering axle locked.
