Abstract
A control unit is provided for a working machine. The working machine includes an implement and a main body. The implement is movable relative to the main body. The working machine further includes a control entity adapted to be activated upon receipt of an action initiating signal. The control unit is adapted to identify that a human operator of the working machine actively operates the implement relative to the main body towards a reference surface until the implement contacts the reference surface, thereby identifying a human operator input signal, and upon identification of the operator input signal, issue the action initiating signal to the control entity.
