CALIBRATION - HDU-SPECIFIC, MD, AND STEERING-READY
CALIBRATE THE MACHINE STEERING SYSTEM
NOTE: Although the RS1 steering and guidance system should be automatically calibrated to ensure optimal
system performance, the automatic calibration of the system can be bypassed by selecting the Use
Quick Calibration option. This causes the system to load default gains for the machine selected
during the calibration process.
The steering control calibration process allows the RS1 to learn the hydraulic capabilities of the machine for
optimal steering performance in the field.
Before beginning the machine steering system calibration, ensure that the following conditions are met:
•
The booms are racked on self-propelled units.
• There are no implements connected to the hitch.
• The machine engine is running at the normal operating RPM.
• The machine measurements are correctly entered into the Viper 4.
• The machine hydraulic fluid is at the normal operating temperature.
WARNING
The machine will steer automatically. While
calibrating or operating the RS1 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.
