WARNING

The PowerSteer Ready system installer and manufacturer disclaim any responsibility for damage or physical

harm caused by failure to adhere to the following safety requirements:

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for its safe operation. The PowerSteer Ready system is

not designed to replace the vehicle’s operator.

To understand the potential hazards associated with the operation of a PowerSteer Ready equipped vehicle, read the provided documentation prior to installing or operating the PowerSteer Ready system on a vehicle.

To prevent accidental death or injury from being run over by the vehicle, never leave the vehicle’s operator seat with the PowerSteer Ready system engaged.

To prevent accidental death or injury from being run over by the vehicle, verify that area around the vehicle is clear of people and obstacles before startup, calibration, tuning, or use of the PowerSteer Ready system.

To prevent the accidental engagement of the PowerSteer Ready system and loss of vehicle control, power down the PowerSteer Ready system while driving on roads. Never drive on roads or in public areas with the PowerSteer Ready system powered up.

Verify that you are in a stable position on the vehicle’s platform or stairs when installing or removing the antenna assembly on top of the cab, so you do not fall. If the vehicle does not provide a safe platform, use a ladder to safely access the vehicle’s roof.

To avoid electrical shock hazards, remove the antennas from the vehicle before driving under low structures or low electrical power lines.

If the installation requires working on the hydraulic system on the vehicle, read and understand the hydraulic sections of the vehicle manufacturer’s operators manual before starting the installation. Wear hand and eye protection while performing hydraulic system maintenance. Relieve hydraulic system pressure before servicing the hydraulic system.

CAUTION

The PowerSteer Ready system does not detect obstacles in the vehicle’s path. The vehicle operator must observe the path being driven and take over steering manually if an obstacle must be avoided.

The PowerSteer Ready system does not control the speed of the vehicle. The operator must manually adjust the speed of the vehicle to keep the vehicle safely under control.

The PowerSteer Ready system must be powered OFF when installing or removing the PowerSteer Ready, or any other components connected to the PowerSteer Ready system.

Installation Safety Measures

The PowerSteer Ready system must be powered OFF when installing or removing the PowerSteer Ready, or any other components connected to the PowerSteer Ready system.

Verify that you are in a stable position when installing or removing the Steering Controller on the roof so you do not fall down. If the vehicle does not provide a safe platform, use a ladder to safely access the vehicle’s roof.

To prevent accidental death or injury from being run over by the vehicle, verify that area around the vehicle is clear of people and obstacles before installation, calibration, tuning, or use of the PowerSteer Ready system.

Keep the equipment away from high-power wireless equipment such as wireless transmitters, radar transmitters, high frequency and current devices, and microwaves.

Do not install the product in an environment with high temperature, heavy dust, harmful gas, flammable substances, explosive substances, electromagnetic interference (large radar station, transmitter station, substation), unstable voltage, high vibration, or loud noise; otherwise, the equipment may be unable to operate normally.

Do not install the equipment in places vulnerable to water accumulation, water seepage, water dripping, condensation, etc., so as to prevent the equipment from being damaged by water accumulated at the interface.

If the equipment is operated in an environment with high relative humidity, insulation materials may be degraded to cause electric leakage; the mechanical properties of materials may be changed and metal parts may become rusty.

After the equipment has been installed, do not remove it frequently as this may lead to unexpected damage.

When connecting the power cable to the battery, connect the terminals of the power line to the positive and negative terminals of the battery accordingly.

Operation Safety
