  1. EZ-SteerAdvanced 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

  5. Configuration

  6. Vehicle setup • Copy Angle/Turn etc from approved vehicle table included in shipping box (or 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 • Run self test • Check correct firmware on lightbar/controller • Check Vehicle Setup, Engage Limits, EZ-Steer – Faults screen • Go through Optimizing Performance support note • Check www.EZ-Steer.com and AgPartners for new firmware upgrades and support notes. • Call Trimble support • Download lightbar error log • RMA

  17. EZ-Steer self test

  18. Upgrading Firmware

  19. Use EZ-Toolbox

  20. Use EZ-Toolbox
