EZ-Steer system operation
WARNING – Many large and sudden changes in satellite geometry caused by blocked satellites can cause
significant position shifts. If operating under these conditions, auto-guidance systems can react abruptly. To avoid
possible personal injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance system and take
manual control of the vehicle until conditions have cleared.
To engage the EZ-Steer system, you must have:
l Have a field open in the Run screen
l Have an existing pattern you are using
l The vehicle within the engage distance set in the Engage Options tab. See Engage settings for EZ-
