Claims19
A method for providing an alert for a distance travelled by a working vehicle including the steps:
- (a) enabling an alert system in response to detecting a signal that the working vehicle has changed from a working state to a moving state and, in response to enabling the alert system:
- (b) setting a target distance to be travelled by the working vehicle;
- (c) moving the working vehicle;
- (d) comparing the distance travelled by the working vehicle and the target distance;
- and
- (e) providing an alert based on the comparison wherein the alert includes an alarm;
- and
- further including the step of activating the alert system in response to actuating a control lever associated with a ground engaging component of the working vehicle.
A method for providing an alert for a distance travelled by a working vehicle between digging locations including the steps:
- (a) enabling an alert system in response to detecting a signal that the working vehicle has changed from a working state to a moving state, and setting a start position at a first digging location;
- (b) setting a target distance to be travelled by the working vehicle;
- (c) moving the working vehicle to a second digging location;
- (d) comparing the distance travelled by the working vehicle between the first and second digging locations and the target distance;
- (e) providing an alert based on the comparison, wherein the alert includes an alarm.
A method for providing an alert for a distance travelled by a working vehicle including the steps:
- (a) enabling an alert system in response to detecting a signal that the working vehicle has changed from a working state to a moving state and, in response to enabling the alert system:
- (b) setting a target distance to be travelled by the working vehicle;
- (c) moving the working vehicle;
- (d) comparing the distance travelled by the working vehicle and the target distance;
- (e) providing an alert based on the comparison, wherein the alert includes an alarm;
- wherein in the step of detecting the signal that the working vehicle has changed from a working state to a moving state includes detecting that a seat for an operator of the working vehicle has moved from a rearward facing position to a forward facing position.
