thinking wheel

English to French Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Hi all,

Documentation about a planter...

Easy fold will not complete fold sequence. (Easy fold = Fonction de repliage facile)
During the easy fold process the hitch will overshoot the desired plant and fold height settings.
In doing this it will not allow the easy fold sequence to advance and stalls the sequence, showing the user the thinking wheel.


Merci d'avance

Peer comment(s):

neutral Jennifer Levey : I agree that "thinking wheel" is a particular type of "throbber", but it seems rather dismissive to use the generic "indicateur d'activité"; and "sablier" conveys a wrong impression of the visual effect.
