Operate Implement Automation Systems Safely

PC13793-UN-25MAY11

Do not use implement automation systems on roadways. Always turn off (disable) implement automation systems before entering a roadway. Do not attempt to turn on (activate) an implement automation system while transporting on a roadway.

Implement automation systems are intended to aid the operator in performing field operations more efficiently. The operator is always responsible for the machine path.

Implement automation systems include any application that automates implement movement. This includes, but may not be limited to, iGrade™ and Active Implement Guidance.

To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:

• Verify the machine, implement, and automation systems are set up correctly.
• Remain alert and pay attention to the surrounding environment.
• Take control of the machine, when necessary, to avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other obstacles.
• Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your ability to operate the machine or identify people or obstacles in the machine path.
