1. EZ-Steer Advanced Workshop

2. Vehicle approval process Trimble staff must be involved for new vehicle brands/types. Install photos + vehicle settings essential Check bracket installation Determine calibration settings Verify safety and performance Warranty void if installed on non-approved vehicles

3. Installation Antenna placement Steering column bracket Motor placement Controller mounting Cable routing Power requirements – 7 amps

4. Antenna placement For good accuracy/easy calibration 2WD/MFWD tractorsRear axle 4WD articulated tractorsFront of cab Combines/swathersFront of cab Floaters/sprayers/trucksRear of cab

5. Configuration

6. Vehicle setup Copy Angle/Turn etc from approved vehicle table included in shipping box (or www.EZ-Steer.com)www.EZ-Steer.com Enable MFWD helps get online faster Enable Difflock keeps vehicle on line better Make sure steering good condition –Freeplay should be < 2 inches –Replace worn tie-rods –Check hydraulic oil at correct level –Warm up hydraulic oil before using EZ-Steer

7. Maximum engage limits Note - Max speed depends on vehicle type

8. Rules of Engagement Bottom line of screen shows if you can engage - or if not, why not. –D = Distance too far offline –S = Too slow –F = Too fast –A = Angle too large –G = GPS position not available –O = Operator not present If users find it too hard to engage then increase engage limits Within all engage limits bottom line … OK = Engage

9. Optimizing Performance

10. Aggressiveness

11. Freeplay Common in many vehicles 2-4 in freeplay can stop oscillation at high speed

12. Override Sensitivity  – stop auto disengage over bumps  – allow disengage when turn steering wheel Need to hold wheel half a second to override More than 5 overrides on a swath => warning message

13. Motor speed Auto – High = best accuracy At lower speeds can use Auto-Med or Auto-Low to reduce steering wheel movement and jitter Auto-Low good for demo steering wheel

14. Optimizing - Support Note

15. Maintenance Keep motor and controller clean and dry –EZ-Steer is not waterproof –Do not mount on machines without enclosed cabs If foam wheel too worn (>1/4 inch wear) and slipping then replace it. May need to replace motor bushings after a few years?

16. Troubleshooting 1.Run self test 2.Check correct firmware on lightbar/controller 3.Check Vehicle Setup, Engage Limits, EZ-Steer – Faults screen 4.Go through Optimizing Performance support note 5.Check www.EZ-Steer.com and AgPartners for new firmware upgrades and support notes.www.EZ-Steer.com 6.Call Trimble support 7.Download lightbar error log 8.RMA

17. EZ-Steer self test

18. Upgrading Firmware

19. Use EZ-Toolbox
