Abstract
A work machine comprises a tilt rotator to control rotation of a tool, a coupler to couple and decouple the tool to/from the tilt rotator, a display to output information to an operator of the work machine, an operator interface to receive input from the operator, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to output, on the display, a rotation instruction for the operator to initiate a rotation operation of the tilt rotator, in a case that the tilt rotator is determined to be in an incorrect position, stop the rotation operation of the tilt rotator under a condition that the tilt rotator is determined to be in a correct position based on a rotation angle of the tilt rotator about a rotational axis, the rotation operation being initiated by a rotation input via the operator interface.
