 Safety Information

Safety Information
Always follow the instructions that accompany a Warning or Caution. The information it provides is
intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or damage to property. In particular, observe
safety instructions that are presented in the following format:

WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in severe injury or even
death.

CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, could result in injury or
property damage or irretrievable data loss.

Note – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.

Warnings

Auto guidance

WARNING – Obstacles in the field can cause collisions, which may injure you and damage your vehicle. If an
obstacle in the field makes it unsafe to continue a particular phase of the automated dead-zone calibration, stop
the vehicle to abort the phase and turn the steering wheel to disengage the system. Reposition the vehicle and
continue from the current test phase.

WARNING – Auto guidance systems cannot avoid items in the field such as obstacles. Make sure you are
adequately trained to operate the auto guidance system.

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 injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance system and take manual
control of the vehicle until the conditions have cleared.

Calibration

WARNING – Incorrect adjustment of the Manual Override Sensitivity calibration could cause this critical safety
feature to fail, resulting in personal injury or damage to the vehicle. Do not choose a setting that is either too
sensitive or not sensitive enough. It is vital to avoid setting the sensitivity so low that the system will not detect
any steering wheel motion.

Version 7.0, Revision A CFX-750 Display User Guide 17

Safety Information

WARNING – During the Deadzone calibration, the system moves the vehicle’s steering wheel. To avoid injury, be
prepared for sudden vehicle movement.

NH3, anhydrous ammonia

WARNING – Anhydrous valve and flow calibrations require the vehicle and implement to be moving and the
implement must be in the ground (the implement lift switch must be down). Take all necessary precautions to
ensure user safety. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING – Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) can cause severe burning, blindness, or death. NH3 is an irritant and
corrosive to the skin, eyes, respiratory tract and mucous membranes, and is dangerous if not handled properly. It
may cause severe burns to the eyes, lungs, and skin. Skin, and respiratory-related diseases could be aggravated by
exposure. It is recommended that protective gloves, boots, slicker and/or pants and jacket, and chemical-splash
goggles that are impervious to anhydrous ammonia are worn at all times. See Safety Information, 17.

Cautions

Calibration

CAUTION – Failure to be in motion and in a straight path will cause performance problems after calibration.

Display

CAUTION – Do not use the Enable Advanced User Config feature unless you have the support of a Trimble
Reseller. Altering any of the settings for this feature may cause system failure.

CAUTION – Do not press on the screen with a sharp item, such as a pencil or screwdriver. You may damage the
surface of the screen.

EZ-Pilot system

CAUTION – Before you leave the vehicle, turn off the power to the display which will turn off the EZ-Pilot system
power.

CAUTION – If you use the vehicle on a public roadway, you must put the red EZ-Pilot system override switch in the
off position.

18 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

 Safety Information

CAUTION – Do not operate the EZ-Pilot system while driving in reverse gear.

GNSS

CAUTION – The GNSS antenna may experience interference if you operate the vehicle within 100 m (300 ft) of
any power line, radar dish, or cell phone tower.

CAUTION – You must select the correct base datum for your location. If you select an incorrect value, this will
result in an incorrect xFill operation.

Prescriptions

CAUTION – For the system to work correctly, you must select the correct Rate Column setting. If you do not, the
applied rate will be incorrect.

Installation

CAUTION – Do not mount the DCM-300 modem in direct sunlight or in areas of high heat. This will cause
degraded performance.

USB socket

CAUTION – Do not remove the USB drive from the socket while the display is writing to or from the drive. This
will corrupt the data.

Working with anhydrous ammonia

l Contact your NH3 supplier to review all safety requirements associated with anhydrous
ammonia (NH3).
l Always wear correct personal protective equipment. This includes, but is not limited to:
l Goggles or face shield
l Protective suit and gloves
l Respirator
l Do not allow anyone to operate the system without proper instruction and training.
l Stand up-wind when working around NH3 and related equipment.
l Always keep NH3 equipment away from buildings, livestock, and other people.

Version 7.0, Revision A CFX-750 Display User Guide 19

Safety Information

l Never work on NH3 equipment in confined spaces.

l Before you attempt to transport the implement, discharge the system of all NH3 and
completely shut down the system. See Discharging the System , 20.
l If symptoms of illness occur during or shortly after use of NH3 products, seek immediate
medical attention.
l Keep a source of clean water (at least five gallons) readily available. In case of exposure, flush
exposed skin or eyes immediately with large quantities of water and seek immediate medical
attention.
l NH3 can be harmful to the environment if not used correctly. Follow all local, state, and federal
regulations regarding proper handling of this chemical.

Servicing the Equipment

1. Remove the system from operation before performing any maintenance.
2. Thoroughly bleed all system lines and disconnect the nurse tank hose. See Discharging the
System , 20.
3. Make sure that the gauge pressure is at zero before you open the system.
4. Use extreme caution when opening a previously pressurized system.

Discharging the System

1. Turn off the console or vehicle master switch.
2. Completely close the main shut-off valve on the supply or nurse tank.
3. Resume field application until the pressure gauge shows zero pressure.
4. Check again that the console and/or vehicle master switch, and all section switches, are turned
off.
5. Completely close the emergency shut-off valve the cooling tower.
6. Bleed and disconnect the nurse tank supply hose from the system.
7. Turn on the console master switch and all section switches.
8. Stand up-wind from the implement and then slowly open the bleed valve(s) until fully open.
9. Allow at least one (1) hour for the system to fully discharge.
10. Before you open the system, make sure that the pressure gauge on the manifold reads zero
and that the cooling tower is not cold to the touch. This ensures that all liquid NH3 has
evaporated and that the pressure is discharged.

Note – Frost on any component is a positive indication of trapped NH3 at low pressure. Lack of
frost does not always indicate a lack of NH3.

Manual Override

WARNING – Incorrect adjustment of the Manual Override Sensitivity calibration could cause this critical safety
feature to fail, resulting in personal injury or damage to the vehicle. Do not choose a setting that is either too
sensitive or not sensitive enough. It is vital to avoid setting the sensitivity so low that the system will not detect
any steering wheel motion.

Note – The manual override sensitivity calibration is only valid for those platforms employing a
pressure transducer for the manual override function.
It is strongly recommended that you perform this calibration only if it is determined that the default
sensitivity is unacceptable under all operating conditions. The default sensitivity setting provides a
balance between rapid activation of the override function and rejection of steering wheel motion
due to incidental contact (for example, due to travel in a rough field).
Adjust the setting by incrementing the voltage setting up or down in increments of 0.10 V.
Maximum and minimum voltage is established by vehicle and operational parameters.
The Current Sensor Value voltage or sensitivity is displayed along with the Override status that is
based on comparing the setting value to the reported sensor value.When the threshold value is:

l Increased, the manual override function less is sensitive to steering movements.

l Decreased, the manual override function is more sensitive to steering wheel movements and
will disengage Autopilot function sooner.
With the vehicle at a standstill:

1. Turn the steering wheel and notice the effort required to activate the Override status on the
display.

70 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

Autopilot steering system 4   Vehicle guidance setup

2. Adjust the sensitivity level up or down by increasing or decreasing it in increments of 0.20 units.
3. Turn the steering wheel and assess whether the manual override feature is at an acceptable
sensitivity level by evaluating the effort required against the Override status on the display.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 until the Calibration screen shows a suitable response.
It is recommended that you evaluate the performance of the manual override feature under
loading conditions and / or during activities that may affect the pressure of the hydraulic
system.
5. Tap when Manual Override responds the best.

Controller Orientation
Note – NavController II images on the display represent the mounting orientation when viewed
from the top looking down, and with the front of the tractor pointing at the top of the screen.

1. Choose the type of entry you want to perform for the controller orientation:
l Orthogonal entry: Use this option if the mounting position of the control was completed in

Steering Sensor calibration

The Steering Sensor calibration is required to convert the voltage output of the steering
potentiometer into an equivalent measurement for the steering angle.
Note – Complete this calibration first before attempting to calibrate the Steering Deadzone or Roll
Corrections procedures.
Note – Steering sensor calibration is only performed if a rotatory potentiometer or hall-effect
sensor is installed on the vehicle. If the steering angle sensor is set to AutoSense, the Steering
Sensor Calibration screen does not display.
To view or edit AutoSense settings, select Settings / Vehicle / Auto Steer Setup / Autopilot
Operations / Autopilot Steering Sensor.

Pre-calibration
1. Carry out pre-calibration on a hard, level surface that is free of obstructions.
2. Follow the instructions that display on each screen of the display.
3. Make sure that the tractor speed exceeds 1.6 kph (1 mph) during the test phases.

Calibration procedure
Note – To minimize the amount of open area space required for the complete calibration, you may
reposition the vehicle between the phases of the test.

1. Drive the vehicle to a large field that is without hazards or obstructions. The field should have
smooth soil that is loose, but firm.
2. Enter the Steering Sensor Calibration wizard and then write down the Sensor Voltage and the
Steering Angle when the wheels are straight, full left, and full right. This will be used for
comparison purposes after you have run the test.

Version 7.0, Revision A CFX-750 Display User Guide 73

 4   Vehicle guidance setup Autopilot steering system

3. Run the calibration wizard, reading and following all on-screen instructions.
Note – If the steering wheel is not turned completely to either left or right positions when
required, or if the steering sensor requires adjustment or replacement, you must adjust the
sensor and then repeat the calibration.

CAUTION – Failure to be in motion and in a straight path will cause performance problems after calibration.

4. With the wheels steering:

a. Straight, move the vehicle slowly forward and then tap .

b. Full left, continue to move slowly forward and then tap .

c. Full right, continue to move slowly forward and then tap .

d. Straight, continue to move slowly forward and then tap .

5. After the calibration is complete the Sensor Voltage and Steering Angle results display. Watch
the steering angle to ensure:
a. A systematic angle reading at the steering extremes when you manually steer the wheels
full right and full left.
b. That the angle reading is near zero when you manually steer the wheels straight ahead.
If required, repeat the calibration procedure.
6. Verify that the voltage and angle are both acceptable, then tap .

Autopilot Automated Deadzone Calibration

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 injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance system and take manual
control of the vehicle until the conditions have cleared.

WARNING – Obstacles in the field can cause collisions, which may injure you and damage your vehicle. If an
obstacle in the field makes it unsafe to continue a particular phase of the automated dead-zone calibration, stop
the vehicle to abort the phase and turn the steering wheel to disengage the system. Reposition the vehicle and
continue from the current test phase.

Note – The Steering Sensor Setup and calibration must be performed before you run this
procedure, and the vehicle's hydraulic fluid must be at operation temperature.
By turning the vehicle to the right and to the left, the Autopilot Automated Deadzone Calibration
runs a series of tests on the valve and steering hydraulics to determine:

74 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

 Autopilot steering system 4   Vehicle guidance setup

l The point at which steering movement occurs

l The minimum valve command required for steering movement
In this test, the system gradually actuates the steering system while determining the independent
left and right point at which wheel movement occurs for each direction.
Run the Deadzone calibration until the Deadzone value displays for each side a change of less than
0.5 units.
The calibration is run multiple times and a progress indicator displays on the display during each
phase of the calibration. After each phase is completed, the display will prompt the user to steer the
vehicle in a particular direction.

Pre-calibration
1. Warm up the vehicle. The hydraulic fluid must be at normal operating temperature for
deadzone calibration.
2. If you perform the deadzone calibration while the system is cold, repeat the Automated
Deadzone calibration again when the system is at operating temperature.
3. Prepare the steering sensor. If the vehicle has:
l An AutoSense device, drive the vehicle in a straight line for at least one minute.
l A Potentiometer, first complete the Steering Sensor calibration

Calibration procedure

WARNING – During calibration the vehicle will turn slowly either to the right or to the left. The vehicle may move
in an unpredictable manner. To avoid injury, be prepared for vehicle movements.

Note – To minimize the amount of open area required for the complete calibration, you may
reposition the vehicle between the phases of the test.
During calibration, the vehicle will turn slowly either to the right or to the left. The vehicle may move
in an unpredictable manner. To avoid injury, be prepared for vehicle movements.

1. Drive the vehicle to a large field that is without hazards or obstructions. The field should have
smooth soil conditions.
2. Begin the Deadzone Calibration wizard and then write down the and write down the Right
deadzone value and the Left deadzone value. This will be used for comparison purposes after
you have run the test.
3. Run the calibration wizard, reading and following all on-screen instructions and taking note of
all warning messages.
4. Move the vehicle straight forward in first gear at a maximum operation RPM and at a speed of
approximately 1.6 kph (1 mph) and then tap .

Version 7.0, Revision A CFX-750 Display User Guide 75

 4   Vehicle guidance setup Autopilot steering system

5. Engage Auto guidance on the display. The calibration will turn the vehicle one direction. When
it has completed the first test for a coarse deadzone value, straighten the wheels and push
engage again. The system will then turn in the opposite direction to determine the coarse
deadzone value for that direction. After this, the system instructs you to repeat this process for
the fine values for each side.
If the difference between the deadzone values for the second and third trial:
l Is greater than 0.5 units, repeat the calibration procedure
l Is less than 0.5 units, tap to complete the calibration

Autopilot Steering Gain calibration

WARNING – The wheels can move abruptly during the Steering Proportional Gain procedure while the Autopilot
system tests the hydraulic response to its steering commands. To avoid injury, be prepared for vehicle movement.

Note – The Steering Sensor Setup and calibration must be performed before you run this
procedure. Run this procedure only if the Autopilot system performance is less than satisfactory.
The Autopilot Steering Gain (or PGain) sets the proportional gain to control steering overshoot and
responsiveness. The PGain setting is a compromise between fast steering response and stability.
Changes to PGain affect two steering characteristics:

l Slew Time: The amount of time the front wheels take to move from the far left to the far right
position and vice versa.
l Overshoot: The percentage by which the front wheels exceed the commanded angle before
they settle on the correct value.
By altering these settings, you may correct slight variations in your vehicle due to valve response
and tire-to-soil interaction.

l High PGain values decrease the slew time and increases the overshoot. This provides rapid
responses, but excessive Pgain can cause the steering to exhibit signs of instability, like a
tendency to excessively overshoot and excessive wheel movement when the vehicle is online.
l Low PGain values increase the slew time and decreases the overshoot. This improves the
stability, but can introduce significant delays in the steering responses and can cause the
vehicle to wander from side to side.
The proportional gain should be increased to the point just before any one of these occur:

l Slew times no longer decrease (low values are preferred).

l Overshoot exceeds 5–8% (depending on the vehicle).
l Wheels noticeably shake during online performance.

76 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

Pre-calibration
1. Carry out pre-calibration on a hard, level surface that is free of obstacles.
2. Keep the tractor speed at approximately 1.6 kph (1 mph) during the test.
3. Calibrate the steering gain after calibrating the steering sensor.
4. Warm up the vehicle. The hydraulic fluid must be at normal operating temperature for
deadzone calibration.

 Raven controller setup 5   Implement application controller setup

Raven controller setup

When using the Raven SCS 400 and 600 series controller with the CFX-750 display, keep in mind:

l The CFX-750 display cannot control the status of the Raven controller master or boom
switches. This means that the operator must remain in complete control of the sprayer at all
times.
l The CFX-750 display cannot automatically turn off the sprayer when going outside headlands,
across exclusion zones, or previously sprayed areas.
l The sprayer may not always switch off completely when the CFX-750 display sends a zero rate.
This means the operator may need to manually turn off the master switch to ensure that spray
is not applied.
l The only time the CFX-750 display sends a zero rate is when the sprayer is outside a
prescription boundary and the "Rate outside polygon" option is zero.

Note – The operator must ensure that the master switch is off when there is no field open so that
no spray is accidentally applied to areas that shouldn't be sprayed, for example, roads, paths, and
neighboring fields.

1. After you select Raven as your controller, the Output Port screen displays.
2. Choose the port you want to configure.
Note – Do not configure the display to output NMEA messages on the same port that your
controller is connected to.
3. On the Raven controller, configure the Data Menu settings.

120 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

Field-IQ setup for implements 6   Field-IQ crop input control setup

Setting Explanation

Implement Width The width of the implement's application coverage area. This
measurement is used for logging coverage.
l For planters, width is calculated using the number of rows
and the row spacing.
l For swathers, width is caluclated by the implement width
and the overlap/skip setting.

Left / Right Offset Used for implements that are offset to the left or right from the
vehicle center line.
This is measured from the center of the vehicle to the center of
the implement.
The measurement adjusts the tractor’s path so that the
implement is centered on the line.

Forward / Back Offset The distance from the vehicle to the implement / application
point.
The offset is measured from the fixed axle of the vehicle to the
point on the implement where coverage logging will be mapped.
The fixed axle depends on vehicle type:
l Front steering tractors and self-propelled sprayers: Rear axle
l 4 x 4 articulated tractors: Front axle
l Tracked tractors: Center of tracks
Hitch to Ground Contact Distance from the hitch to where the implement pivots on its
Point ground contact point.
Measured from the tractor’s hitch pin to the soil engagement
point that the implement rotates about.
For planters, this is typically the seeding units or the midpoint of
several rows of tools.

Calibrations in the field

For accurate performance of the Trimble Yield Monitor, you must calibrate the optical yield sensors
and moisture sensor in the field in reference to a known good scale and moisture sensor.

Yield flow and moisture sensor calibration

As part of calibrating yield flow, you collect loads to use for calibration. There are two methods for
collecting calibration loads:

l Speed method: Consistent header width, varied speed

l Cut width method: Consistent speed, varied header width

Speed method
This method uses:

l A consistent header width

l Varied speed to calibrate for Low, Medium, and High grain flows, to provide a calibration curve
for Low, Medium, and High flow variations throughout the course of harvest

160 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

 Yield Monitoring calibration 9   Yield Monitoring setup

1. Conduct a calibration load of 3,000-6,000 lbs. at your normal harvest speed, making sure to
keep it constant.
2. Repeat this procedure for one load each at:
l 1 mph less than the normal operating
l 2 mph less than the normal operating speed
l 1 mph higher than the normal operating speed
Example
An example of calibration loads using this method is as follows:

l Load 1 = 4,547 lbs. @ 2 mph

l Load 2 = 3,834 lbs. @ 3 mph
l Load 3 = 2,764 lbs. @ 4 mph
l Load 4 = 5,768 lbs. @ 5 mph

Cut width method

This method uses:

l A consistent speed
l Varied cut widths to calibrate for Low, Medium, and High flows

1. Conduct a calibration load of 3,000-6,000 lbs. at your normal constant speed with a 100% cut
width (that is, 12 rows at 30 ft).
2. At the same constant speed, repeat this procedure for one load each at:
l 75% of the normal cut width (9 rows at 22.5 ft)
l 50% of normal cut width (6 rows at 15 ft)
l 25% of normal cut width (3 rows at 7.5 ft)
This provides a calibration curve for Low, Medium, and High flow variations throughout the
course of Harvest.
Example
An example of calibration loads using this method:

l Load 1 = 5,768 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 100% swath width

l Load 2 = 4,547 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 75% swath width
l Load 3 = 3,834 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 50% swath width

Map guidance and features

To receive guidance information (and any assistance from an auto steer system) you must:

l Configure how the guidance displays on your screen. See Map guidance and features
l Map a guidance line. See Guidance line / pattern mapping, 203.
l Set up the lightbar. See Lightbar setup in Display settings, 189.
On the CFX-750 display, you can create:

l Guidance lines and patterns (such as headlands and pivots)

l Features (such as trees, rocks and areas) (see Feature mapping buttons, 214)
To create a guidance line, you define a start point (A) and an end point (B). After you define the A
and B points, the display draws a line between them. This is the master AB line.
Note – AB lines are stored automatically. You do not have to actively save an AB line.
When you define the first guidance line, the display copies it to create additional guidance lines.
Patterns you can create include:

l Headland
l Pivot
While you work, guidance information displays on the CFX-750 display screen and the integrated
lightbar that indicate the:

l Position of your vehicle in the field

l Guidance lines
l Offline distance

Distance between guidance lines

When you define the AB line, you specify the width of the implement that is attached to the vehicle.
The display uses this measurement to calculate the distance between the guidance lines. If you do
not want the guidance lines to be exactly one implement width apart, you can set an overlap or
skip.

Headlands
You can record a headland boundary, or you can work without a headland.

On-screen appearance
When the Guidance screen shows the trailing view, it labels the guidance lines with icons.

Straight AB
Use a straight AB line when you do not need to define headlands and you want to drive the field in
parallel straight lines.

When the vehicle is on a guidance line, the line extends 1 km (0.6 miles) before point A and 1 km
beyond point B. This makes it easier to see where the next swath is and to get online after a turn.

Map an AB line
Note – When driving on straight AB lines, you do not have to record your path because the
guidance lines are generated automatically.

1. Drive to the start point of the master line.

2. Tap and then drive to the end of the line.

3. When the icon is highlighted, tap . The master AB line displays.

4. Turn left or right for the next swath. As you move toward the next swath, it displays on the
screen and turns orange to show that it is selected.

A+ line
Note – When driving on straight AB lines, you do not have to record your path because the
guidance lines are generated automatically.
An A+ line is a straight line, defined by a single A point on the line and the heading of the line. When
you create an A+ line, you must enter a heading in the A+ Heading screen. By default, the A+
heading is the same as the previous AB line.

An A+ line is useful when you need guidance exactly parallel to the last AB line. For example, when:

l Driving adjacent fields

l Mapping the AB line on a road down the side of the field
l Skipping an access road in a field
The A+ line extends 1 km (0.6 miles) before and after the A point.

Map an A+ line
1. Drive to the start point of the master line.
2. Tap and then drive to the end of the line. Because you have already set the line heading, the
master AB line displays on the screen.
3. For guidance down the first swath follow the AB line.
4. Turn left or right for the next swath. As you move toward the next swath, it displays on the
screen and turns orange to show that it is selected.

Identical curve
The identical curve pattern records your exact route between the A and B points, instead of creating
a straight line. All subsequent guidance lines will match the master curve, regardless of where you
drive the vehicle.

concentric circles around the center-pivot.

Map a pivot
Note – Always set the master line near the outer edge of the field.

1. Drive to the start point of the pivot.

2. Position one wheel of the vehicle in a pivot wheel rut, with the rear of the vehicle to the pivot
arm. If the field is not a full circle pivot, face the rear of the vehicle to the edge of the field.

4. Turn left or right for the next swath. As you move toward the next swath, it displays on the
screen and turns orange to show that it is selected.
5. Steer the vehicle so that the lighted LEDs are centered on the lightbar as you drive forward
along the swath.

Headland
Two types of headland patterns enable you to define the boundary (headland) of the area, as well as
the guidance lines contained within it. Use the headland pattern to allow room to turn.

When you start to define the headland, you define the internal guidance line as you drive around
the headland and then you complete the headland.
You can change two settings for the headland pattern:

l The number of circuits

l The internal pattern

Number of circuits
When you create a headland, you must specify the total number of circuits (including the master
headland). This defines how wide the headland is.
No matter how many circuits you create, define only the outside headland. The inner headlands are
copied from that original circuit.

Version 7.0, Revision A CFX-750 Display User Guide 207

 13   Operations Map guidance and features

Internal pattern
The internal pattern is the pattern of the guidance lines inside the headland. An internal pattern can
be:

l Straight AB: Standard parallel swaths inside a headland

l A+: Parallel swaths at a pre-defined heading

Re-select the headland

When you use the headland pattern, you can see either the headland or the internal pattern.
To see the headland guidance again when you are driving the internal pattern, drive into the
headland before the first internal swath or after the final internal swath. The headland displays
automatically.

Map a headland
1. Drive to the start point of the headland.
2. Tap to set the start point of the headland.

3. Begin to drive the circuit of the headland.

Note – To ensure straight sides on the headland, you can use the pause feature. See

Curve Auto steering Accuracy in Headlands

It is possible to engage the EZ-Steer system on headlands with sharp corners at the edge of the field.
However, the EZ-Steer system may be unable to drive around these sharp bends. To compensate,
use either of these:

l Manually steer the vehicle around the corner. After you have rounded the corner, re-engage
the EZ-Steer system.
l At the Engage Options screen, increase the Disengage Offline distance (see EZ-Steer system
setup, 56).

Vehicle-specific performance suggestions

Before you use the EZ-Steer system, consider the following performance suggestions.

Vehicle Type Performance Suggestion

2WD tractor With tractors that have SuperSteer (for example, New Holland TG) and have a
SuperSteer front axle, for best performance:
Reduce the Online Aggressiveness value.
Line up close to the swath and make certain that the front wheels are straight
before engaging the EZ-Steer system.
To get smoother performance when the vehicle is pulling an implement over
tilled ground, enable the Diff-Lock. This prevents the machine from pulling
sharply to the left or right. If you are calibrating on a hard surface, turn off
Diff-Lock.

4WD tractor The EZ-Steer system can be installed on Case IH STX tractors with Accusteer.
For optimal performance, disable Accusteer using the switch in the cab (if
possible).

220 CFX-750 Display User Guide Version 7.0, Revision A

Auto steering system operation 13   Operations

Vehicle Type Performance Suggestion

Sprayer It is common for these vehicles to have slow steering. To compensate for this,
use high aggressiveness.
If you experience large, slow oscillations, increase the aggressiveness.
When you configure the system on a sprayer, the sprayer steering delay
setting is available on the Vehicle Setup screen.
Some sprayers have steering that is slow to react after you turn the steering
wheel. The system uses the steering delay setting to compensate for this
slowness and ensure that steering corrections occur at the correct point.

Swather When you configure the system on a swather, the Swather steering delay
setting is available on the Vehicle Setup screen.
Some swathers have steering that is slow to react after the steering wheel is
turned. The system uses the steering delay setting to compensate for this
slowness and ensure that steering corrections occur at the correct point.
To improve the performance of your swather, adjust the Swather steering
delay setting by a small amount (0.1 seconds) at a time. Test the result
between each adjustment.

After using the EZ-Steer system

Any time that you are not using the EZ-Steer system, pivot the EZ-Steer motor away from the
steering wheel.
Before you leave the vehicle, turn off the EZ-Steer system power switch or remove the power plug.
