NTERRUPTIONS

The elevation control is only as good as the ability of GPS to report elevation. Loss of GPS fix or quality,
or change in satellite constellation can cause the GPS to report erroneous elevations. If using a battery-
powered RTK base station, the battery can run down leaving the unit without correction.

OMPONENTS

A rusty/dirty hydraulic valve is an example of a bad component that can degrade performance. Of course
as with any electro-mechanical system. Ensure that when connecting hydraulic lines to the tractor, that
the tips are clean before connecting them. Intellislope components are not immune to failure. Most
component failures lead to the system being inoperative, not degraded performance.
