12. VERIFY OPERATION OF HYDRAULICS
AND SET THE STEERING CONTROL RATE
Clean and pick up the area around the vehicle and make certain that it is safe to operate. Start the engine
and check hydraulic connections for leaks. Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the other and back
to center, check for leaks. While steering through the extremes of movement, check the cables and hoses for
wear points and strain, adjust as necessary.
The oil flow rate adjustment is accomplished through the Matrix console. The
target lock to lock time is 5 seconds. Refer to the Matrix manual for further
instructions.
Use the electronic steering control console to perform the left to right steering test. Count the seconds to
move the wheels from full left to full right and also in the opposite direction. The vehicle should be moving
forward very slowly during these tests so there is not excessive side pressure on the tires. If you find that the
machine steers in the opposite direction from that being commanded in this steering test sequence, switch
the valve connectors at the FieldPilot valve.
NOTE: To activate the manual overrides, a tool such as a small screwdriver or allen wrench must be inserted
into the end of the coil to depress the override button.
WARNING: PINCH POINT HAZARD! To prevent serious injury or death, avoid unsafe practice
while manually operating hydraulic steering circuits. Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages.
13. COMPLETE ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION
Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the automated steering system to complete the electronic
installa¬tion and setup.
