WHEEL CONTROL CALIBRATION
The Wheel Control Calibration process
allows SC1/TC1 to learn the hydraulic capabilities of the machine hydraulic
system for optimal steering performance in the field. Complete the following steps to calibrate SC1/TC1 to the
machine hydraulic system without completing the full SC1/TC1 system calibration.
NOTE:
Preparation and Best Practices
section on page 10 for tips on preparing for and
completing the calibration process.
WARNING
The machine will steer automatically. While
calibrating or operating the SC1/TC1 system, be
sure the area around the vehicle is clear of
people and obstacles before engaging the
steering system.
To disengage auto-steering at any time, turn the
steering wheel or select the on-screen Stop
button.
WARNING
During the auto-steering calibration, the machine
will make several hard left and right turns. Adjust
the vehicle speed and location as necessary.
