Calibrating the automated steering deadzone
The Automated Deadzone calibration procedure runs a series of tests on the valve and
steering hydraulics to determine the point at which steering movement occurs.
C
WARNING – During the Automated Deadzone calibration, the system moves the wheels that
steer the vehicle. To avoid injury, be prepared for sudden vehicle movement.
In this test, the system independently opens and closes each side of the steering system while
determining the point at which wheel movement occurs.
Notes on calibrating the automated steering dead zone
•
You must complete the Steering Angle procedure before you run this procedure.
•
To ensure optimal system performance, the hydraulic fluid must be at normal operating
temperature when you run this procedure. On some vehicles with large reservoirs, it
may take several hours for the fluid to reach operating level, especially if the implement
circuit is lightly loaded. Consult the vehicle documentation to determine if the hydraulic
fluid temperature can be shown on a vehicle console.
•
If you perform the calibration while the system is still cold, repeat both the Deadzone
and the Proportional gain calibration procedures once the system is at operating
temperature.
To configure the automated steering deadzone:
1.
Place the vehicle in a large field that is free of hazards. To minimize the effect of the
ground conditions, the field should have smooth soil that is loose but firm.
2.
Select the Automated Steering Deadzone procedure from the calibration list. See
page 10.
