Chapter 10 Steering Calibrations
The console uses the satellite data it receives, through the receiver
attached to the top of the vehicle, to identify the precise coordinates
of the vehicle. Using this and other data, the system is able to
estimate the vehicle’s position and control the vehicle’s steering
system.
For this to work properly the system needs to be calibrated for the
individual vehicle. If the system has not been calibrated for this
vehicle, follow the steps in this chapter.
WARNING: Drive the vehicle to a suitable area with
level ground, away from people and obstacles, with room
to drive in complete circles. To ensure accurate
calibration, the vehicle should have open sky visibility
and be well away from trees, high voltage power wires
and buildings.
It is recommended to remove the implement if it is a
trailed, pivoted type implement to avoid implement draw
bar interference.
Note: Calibration screens may vary depending on the vehicle
selected. Some steering controllers may offer hydraulics calibration.
10.1. Calibrating the compass
Follow the steps to start the calibration wizard. Drive to a place that
will not interfere with the calibration before beginning. This should
be away from high voltage and large metal objects, with space to
drive in complete circles.
Note: Calibration screens may vary depending on the vehicle
selected. ALWAYS READ THE SCREEN PROMPTS
CAREFULLY.
