BetaDraxon VR Training SyllabusInching System
Virtual RealityDescription
This lesson introduces the tractor’s tow inching system, enabling slow, precise reverse movement for accurate coupling. Trainees learn to activate it from the cabin and operate it from the rear control panel. The training emphasizes fine motion control, safe positioning, and crush-zone awareness during ramp operations.
Lesson Overview
- 1Overview of the tow inching system and its function in precise coupling operations
- 2Guided activation of the system from within the tractor cabin using the correct control sequence
- 3Practical operation at the rear panel to perform controlled inching movements
- 4Emphasis on movement sensitivity, safe positioning, and crush-zone awareness
- 5Demonstration of the emergency stop function and system reset
Skills Acquired
- Enable the tow inching system using the correct cabin control sequence
- Operate the external inching panel with short, precise button inputs
- Maintain safe positioning while observing tractor movement
- Use and reset the emergency stop system during inching operations
Lesson Procedure
- The trainee begins seated inside the tractor cabin, facing the control panel. A guided introduction highlights the ignition, parking brake, gear stick, and inching switch.
- Step-by-step prompts lead the trainee to turn on the ignition and engine, confirm the parking brake is applied, shift the gear to neutral, and activate the inching switch. Once completed, the system is ready for use.
- The trainee trainsitions to the rear of the tractor. Standing on the designated safety spot, the trainee observes the external inching panel, noting the two buttons: the inching control and the emergency stop.
- Instructions emphasize short taps on the inching button to move the tractor a few centimeters at a time, avoiding continuous pressure that could cause loss of control.
- The trainee performs several successful short inching movements, observing how slight button presses affect motion. Pressing the wrong button or holding the button too long triggers a corrective rewind.
- The lesson concludes with the emergency stop procedure: the trainee presses the stop button to halt the tractor completely, then resets it to restore normal operation.
Safety Scenarios & Learnings
Inching button pressed for more than one second held for more than one second
Triggers a rewind and warning, teaching control through short, precise taps.
Triggers a rewind and warning, teaching control through short, precise taps.
Pressing the emergency button instead of the inching button
Highlights correct button identification and operational focus.

Standing too far between tractor and cart
Reinforces the need to avoid the crush zone between tractor and cart.
