FieldPilot® Installation If there are questions concerning the installation of the FieldPilot system on this vehicle, or due to the changes in component specifications the parts supplied in the kit are not exactly as presented in this document, please contact your dealer or TeeJet Customer service representative for clarification before installation. TeeJet Technologies is not responsible for misuse or incorrect installation of the system.
FieldPilot® 2. MOUNT VALVE BRACKET ON VEHICLE The mounting bracket (P) will be positioned on the right side of the frame of the tractor just forward of the battery box. There are square holes punched in the tractor frame. Select the third hole forward of the battery box to mount the valve. Attach the bracket to the frame of the tractor using the bolt (M) with washer (J) and nut (O). Figure 1-3: Mount Valve Bracket on Vehicle M, J, O P 3.
FieldPilot® 4. Prepare the PRRV Valve Install cartridge (G) into manifold (F) in the #10 port. Install adapters (EE) in the #1 and #3 ports of the PRRV valve. Install adapter (DD) in the #2 port. (Additional adapters are included that can be used if necessary to make your installation easier). Figure 1-5: Prepare the PRRV Valve EE G F EE DD 5. Mount the PRRV Valve Use parts (B, D, & L) to mount the PRRV valve to the bracket (Q).
FieldPilot® 6. Prepare the John Deere Steering Valve Block Pressure Side The John Deere steering valve block is located on top of the engine. Disconnect the pressure feed line from the adapter on top of the JD steering valve block and disconnect this steel line from its connection in front of the engine compartment and remove it completely. Then install a run tee (Z) on the adapter on the JD steering valve block. Then use hose (T) to replace the steel line that was just removed.
FieldPilot® 7. Prepare the John Deere Steering Valve Block Tank Side The John Deere steering valve block is located on top of the engine. Disconnect and remove the tank line from the adapter on the bottom of the JD Steering Valve block and where it connects at the firewall just under the windshield. Then install a run tee (Z) on the adapter on the JD steering valve block. The use hose (U) to replace the steel line that was just removed.
FieldPilot® 8. Install Steering Hoses and Adapters Disconnect the two steel lines that are at the firewall just below the windshield. Install run tees (Z) and reconnect the original steel line to the run of the tee. Connect a hose (S) to each of the branches of the run tee and route them down and connect to the A & B ports of the FieldPilot valve. Figure 1-9: Install Steering Hoses and Adapters Disconnect Z S 14 www.teejet.
FieldPilot® 9. Install Pressure Hoses Connect hose (V) from the FieldPilot Valve P port to the #1 port of the PRRV. Connect hose (R) from the run tee on top of the John Deere steering block to the #2 port of the PRRV. Figure 1-10: Install Pressure Hoses V R R www.teejet.
FieldPilot® 10. Install Tank Hoses and Adapter Install run tee (Z) to the adapter in the T port of the FieldPilot valve and the Connect hose (W) from the branch of the run tee to the #3 port of the PRRV. Connect hose (S) from the branch of the run tee on the bottom of the John Deere steering block to the run of the tee on the T port of the FieldPilot valve. Figure 1-11: Install Tank Hoses and Adapter S Z W W S S 11.
FieldPilot® 12. Adjusting the PRRV Valve A hex wrench is used to adjust the PRRV valve and the Matrix console’s “Valve Test” is used to activate the FieldPilot valve. Refer to the Matrix manual for instructions regarding the “Valve Test” and other valve settings. Adjust the PRRV valve to obtain a 4 second lock-to-lock time. Turning the adjustment screw in will decrease (make faster) the lock-to-lock time. Be sure the oil is warm and the vehicle is moving forward slowly when setting the lock-to-lock time.
FieldPilot® 14. Installation of Engage/Disengage Switch Connect item (A) to the connector on the SCM harness labeled Remote Engage/Disengage. Install the push button in a location that is easily accessible during operation of the machine. This switch (A) is not required if the optional foot switch 32-04020 is used. Figure 1-14: Engage/Disengage Switch 15. RECOMMENDED ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION The Steering Control Module (SCM) should be mounted securely to the floor of the cab.
FieldPilot® 16. VERIFY OPERATION OF HYDRAULICS AND SET THE STEERING CONTROL RATE Clean and pick up the area around the vehicle and make certain that it is safe to operate. Start the engine and check hydraulic connections for leaks. Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the other and back to center, check for leaks. While steering through the extremes of movement, check the cables and hoses for wear points and strain, adjust as necessary.
