Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Setting the Fore/Aft Offset
If the antenna offset is set to be ahead (fore) of the antenna,
you will see the implement projected in front of the tractor
icon on the Map screen. If the antenna offset is set to be
behind (aft of) the antenna, you will see the implement trail
behind the tractor icon.
Whether the antenna is set fore or aft, it is also important to
install the GPS antenna in the center (left and right) of the
vehicle. This prevents swath offsets resulting in skips and
overlaps. If the center of the working implement is not in
line with the center of the guided vehicle, be sure to enter
an appropriate swath offset into the S3 during setup.
Complete the following steps to set the fore/aft offset:
1. On the Vehicle screen touch the Fore/Aft Offset button.
The Fore/Aft Offset window appears.
Headland Alert
Notifies you with an audible beep when the machine enters a
previously worked area. Set to On or Off.
Lines
Guidance lines display a regular pattern over an area by which to
guide. There are three line display options available: Off, AB, and
Grid. When Grid is selected the spacing between the pass lines is
equal to the swath width. The distance between the grid lines is
based on the value set in the Grid Spacing field. See “Creating
Guidance Lines” on page 49 for more information on using this
feature.
Grid Spacing
Set the distance between the grid lines on the Map screen. See
“Grid” on page 50 for more information.
