make sure that the performance of the autopilot can satisfy the operation requirement
before the product is delivered to the user. The commissioning is divided into the

Power on Equipment
Prior to the power-on of the equipment, measure the battery voltage with a multimeter.
If it is less than 12V, the tractor is under voltage. Start the engine to charge battery for
certain time before the commissioning. This is to prevent the battery in under voltage
status from continuously supplying power to the equipment and thus causing lack of
power to start the engine or damage to the battery.
Press the gourd-shaped switch with hand to power on the equipment. When the
gourd-shaped switch is pressed, the LED indicator on the switch turns on (blue).
Observe that 8 LED indicators on the cover of the Autopilot (Controller) are all on
(red or green) and the screen of panel computer is lightened too. Press the gourd
switch again and the equipment is powered off. The LED indicators on the
gourd-shaped switch and the Autopilot (Controller) turns off and the screen of panel
computer turns off (The screen of panel computer is dependent on the model of the
provided computer. If panel computer with lithium battery is provided, the panel
computer should be turned on or off separately).
