CHAPTER 3
28 SmarTrax™ MD Calibration & Operation Manual
CALIBRATE THE MACHINE’S STEERING SYSTEM
After the initial calibration of the SmarTrax MD system is complete, it is necessary to calibrate the machine’s
steering system. This allows the SmarTrax MD system to learn the hydraulic capabilities of the machine for optimal
steering performance in the field.
Before beginning the machine’s steering system calibration, ensure:
• The booms are racked on self-propelled units.
• There are no implements connected to the hitch.
• The machine’s engine is running at the normal operating RPM.
• The machine’s measurements are correctly entered into the Viper 4.
NOTE: To ensure the calibration is successful, the number of starts and stops during the calibration process
should be limited. If it is necessary to pause the calibration process, turn the steering wheel or tap the
foot/enable switch. Tap the foot/enable switch again to resume calibration.
WARNING
The machine’s wheels will turn automatically. Be
sure the area around the vehicle is clear of
people and equipment before engaging the
steering system.
NOTICE
The calibration of the machine’s steering system
should be performed in a field or other large,
open space and during conditions similar to
normal vehicle operation.
If the ground or surface is slippery, muddy, or
freshly tilled, the SmarTrax MD system may learn
incorrect steering responses for normal
operating conditions.
Ensure the machine’s hydraulics are operating
properly and there are no other mechanical
issues that may affect the performance of the
SmarTrax MD system.
