Introduction
This manual provides information for completing an AutoSteer installation on wheeled farm vehicles that are not supported by
Autofarm vehicle specific installation kits. A working AutoSteer installation requires brackets and hoses that correctly fit the
vehicle. This manual provides guidelines, specifications and examples of typical AutoSteer installations with the purpose of
helping AutoFarm dealers accomplish a working installation that will perform satisfactorily and be safe.
This manual does not cover all possible types of vehicles or even nuances that exist between different brands and models of
farm machinery so it is the responsibility of the installer to determine if the installation will correctly fit the vehicle and
perform in a safe manner.
Do not attempt this installation if you have not received training for the AutoFarm A5 product installation and if you have not
completed at least ten standard AutoFarm kit installations. Do not attempt this installation if you do not have complete
information and familiarity with the vehicle's steering system and hydraulic system. The installer assumes all responsibility for
using good judgment and good fabrication practices when performing this installation.
Installation Guidelines
1. Understand the type of steering system that is used on the vehicle where you will be installing the AutoFarm valve.
