Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a distance of a height-adjustable side shield of a milling drum box of a ground milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, a recycler or a stabilizer, in vertical direction with respect to the ground, comprising the steps of: ascertaining a reference value for the height setting of the side shield from operating parameters of the ground milling machine, determining a desired distance (d) between the side shield and the ground, the desired distance (d) ensuring the safety of persons located next to the ground milling machine, ascertaining a necessary height setting of the side shield from the reference value and the desired distance (d), and setting the position of the side shield with respect to the ground in observance of the desired distance (d), so that the side shield is guided, in vertical downward direction, without contact to the ground. Moreover, the present invention relates to a ground milling machine with a control device for carrying out the method.
