NOTE: A warning message will appear on
the Machine Display and the
machine may be limited on speed and
other functions.
• Auto Steer Machines Only :
When the Auto Steer System is engaged,
it will automatically turn the AWS Sys-
tem OFF and move the rear wheels back
to straight.
Recommendations for Best
Operating Practices
• Apply the Decel Pedal (located to the
lower right-hand side of the steering col-
umn) to decrease speed at end rows.
NOTE: The Decel Pedal is NOT a brake! It
is designated for speed reduction
only.
• Speed ranges are selected by pressing the
Shift Up/Down Switches (located on the
Hydrostatic Drive Control Handle) to
control speed ranges within the vehicle
speed settings.
• Use the Hydrostatic Drive Control Han-
dle to slow down more if needed. If you
move the Hydrostatic Drive Control
Handle first and then shift down to get to
AWS mode, you will notice that the
machine may slow down more than you
wanted it to.
• Understand how the machine feels when
it is still in a turn and is shifted up or
down. The machine will still operate at
whatever turn angle that you want to
shift out at, but you may feel that this sit-
uation is causing an operation that you
may not want (possibly getting the
machine off the line intended because the
rear wheels move back to straight posi-
tion and the total turning radius will
change).
In the following illustration, the two
circles represent a full turn with AWS on.
The - - - - lines represent the direction the
operator wants the front tracks to go
(assuming the operator wants to pull the
machine back into rows that are running
straight up and down.) The -..-..-..- lines
represent the direction that the front wheels
are pointed when the operator shifts out of
AWS speed range. If this occurs, the rear
wheels will shift back to the straight position
and the machine will no longer have the two
tire tracks (two circles). The rear wheels will
begin to follow the -..-..-..- path during this
shift.
Hagie Manufacturing Company once
again strongly recommends trying out and
getting a feel for the AWS System before
going straight to the field so you can get an
understanding of what to expect. Some
situations to try include:
•
Driving the machine with both an empty
and a full solution tank with AWS on.
• Drive the machine on hills, ensuring to
take the proper precautions as stated in
the
Safety and Precautions Section
else-
where in this manual.
• Drive the machine at different turn
angles and speeds to see how the limita-
tions work.
NOTE: You will notice that if you go over
any of the limitations, you can slow
back down and the AWS system will
automatically turn itself back on.
• Auto Steer Machines Only:
