FieldPilot® PREPARATION 1. Before beginning the installation, thoroughly clean the vehicle to remove dirt and contaminants that might get into the hydraulic circuit. 2. Park the vehicle on a clean, level floor with adequate clearance to work around. 3. Do not attempt to loosen any hydraulic fittings while the engine is running. 4. Allow the motor and the hydraulics to cool until it is no more than warm to the touch before proceeding. 5.

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 THE VALVE BRACKET ON THE VEHICLE Find the two holes in the rear casting gusset plate on the right side of the tractor. Using the two bolts (G) with nuts (H) and washers (B), attach the bracket (I) so that the mounting holes for the valve are up and to the rear. Figure 1-3: Mount the Valve Bracket 3.
FieldPilot® 4. TRACTORS USING “POWER BEYOND” OPTION NOTE: If vehicle is NOT using the John Deere “Power Beyond” option, skip to Step 6. “Power Beyond” is accessed on the top of the rear valve block on the tractor. The load sense port will have a run tee installed with one drop going to the power beyond load sense and the other going to the tank port on top of the block. Where the tank line from the power beyond load sense enters the block, there is also an orifice plate.
FieldPilot® 5. MODIFYING THE POWER BEYOND INSTALLATION It is necessary to install a shuttle tee valve (M) in the power beyond load sense port to allow either the installed power beyond function or the FieldPilot valve (D) to trigger the load sense to the pump. Prepare the shuttle tee valve by installing adapter (R) into the common port on the shuttle tee valve (M). Install two of the adapters (P) into the other two ports of the shuttle tee value (M).
FieldPilot® 6. TRACTORS NOT USING THE “POWER BEYOND” OPTION If the tractor is not using the John Deere “Power Beyond” option, remove the plug from the load sense port on the top of the rear tractor hydraulic valve block and install the John Deere shuttle disc R196840 (U) and spacer RE58763 (T) into the port opening (threaded end up). Install one of the adapters (S) in the port. Install the 90° adapter (O) on adapter (S) with the opening facing the right side of the tractor.
FieldPilot® 7. PREPARING THE LEFT AND RIGHT STEERING CONNECTIONS Underneath the tractor, just behind the front differential, find the left and right steering cylinder hoses and their connection point to the steel lines from under the cab. Figure 1-9: Preparing the Left and Right Steering Connections Uncouple the hoses from the steel lines (be sure to keep track of which hose is connected to which steel line), and install Run Tees (Q) into the end of the steel lines.
FieldPilot® 8. FIELDPILOT VALVE HOSE CONNECTIONS The Pressure port of the FieldPilot Valve (D) will be connected to the pressure port on top of the rear tractor hydraulic block using one hose (K). The T port from the FieldPilot Valve (D) will be connected to the open fitting on the tank return port on the top of the rear tractor hydraulic block using the second hose (K).
FieldPilot® Hoses (J) are routed forward under the cab to come out along the left side of the engine. It is best to remove the engine cover on the left side of the tractor to allow easy access to this area. Figure 1-13: Install Steering Output Hoses Steering Hoses (J) Finally, connect the end of the steering hoses (J) to the center drops of the run tees previously installed on the steering cylinder hoses.
FieldPilot® 10. INSTALL THE VALVE CONTROL CABLE The valve control cable (F) will connect to the solenoids on the FieldPilot valve and will route into the rear of the cab. Figure 1-15: Control Cable Location 11. INSTALL STEERING DISENGAGE SENSOR (KIT 91-07011) On the right hand side of the steering column in the cab, remove the lower bolt as indicated. Drill a hole in the aluminum bracket from Kit 91-07011 for the bolt to fit through. Install the aluminum bracket and bend it as illustrated.
FieldPilot® 12. INSTALL THE ENGAGE/DISENGAGE SWITCH Connect item (D) 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 (D) is not required if the optional foot switch 32-04020 is used. Figure 1-17: Engage/Disengage Switch 18 www.teejet.
FieldPilot® 13. RECOMMENDED ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION The Steering Control Module (SCM) should be mounted securely to the floor of the cab. The control console can be mounted to the operator’s preference. The GPS antenna should be mounted as far forward as possible on top of the cab on a metal surface of at least 4″ square. Figure 1-18: Recommended Electronics Installation www.teejet.
FieldPilot® 14. 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.
