Introduction
Theory of Operation
iSteer™ is an active implement guidance system which
keeps the implement on track in case the tractor leaves
its predened track. This is done via a StarFire™ GPS
receiver on the tractor or the implement.
The following criteria are required:
For iSteer™ Plough System
Receiver on tractor. StarFire™ SF1, SF2 or RTK
•
(StarFire™ iTC or StarFire™ 3000)
For iSteer™ Side-Shift/Steerable Drawbar System
Receiver on tractor and implement. RTK signal

Introduction
iSteer™ System Basic Operation
iSteer™ Plough System
Basic operation of the iSteer™ Plough system:
1. A steering angle sensor (A) transmits the current
working width to the iSteer™ Plough control unit.
2. The operator calibrates the iSteer™ Plough control
unit with the information regarding the actual working
width by using the buttons on the display.
3. The StarFire™ 3000 receiver is located on the tractor.
The iSteer™ Plough control unit calculates implement
working width using GPS and AB line values set in the
Guidance screen on the GS3 display.
4. When iSteer™ is enabled and activated and when an
offset of the current AB line is detected, a signal is
sent to the plough control valve (B).
5. The control valve (B) directs hydraulic oil to the plough
hydraulic cylinder (C).
6. The entire procedure is repeated from the rst step
to continually monitor any off-track errors. Constant
adjustments of the variable working width are made to
keep the furrow as straight as the dened AB line.

Introduction
iSteer™ Side-Shift System
Basic operation of the iSteer™ Side-Shift system:
1. A steering angle sensor transmits the location of the
implement to the iSteer™ Side-Shift control unit (A).
2. The operator calibrates the iSteer™ Side-Shift control
unit with this implement information by using the
buttons on the display.
3. The iSteer™ Side-Shift control unit calculates the
implement off-track error using GPS (B) and the AB
line values set in Guidance screen on the GS3 display.
4. When iSteer™ is enabled and activated, and if
implement requires steering adjustment to bring it back
onto AB line, a signal is sent from iSteer™ Side-Shift
control unit to the implement control valve (C).
5. The control valve directs hydraulic oil to the implement
side-shift hydraulic cylinder.
6. The entire procedure is repeated from the rst step
to continually monitor any off-track errors. Constant
adjustments are made to keep the implement steering
towards the currently active AB line.

Calibrate the Plough Working Width
CAUTION: Ensure there are no bystanders near
the implement during calibration.
To obtain accurate working width measurement results
from the plough control unit, it is essential to calibrate
the working width sensor (A) after its installation on the
plough frame.
NOTE: Inaccurate measurement causes the ploughing
width to be wider or narrower than calculated by
the control unit. As a result, the tractor always
drives beside its line on the GS3 display.
To calibrate the sensor (A), proceed as follows :
Requirements:
A +/- 3 m (10 ft.) straight iron bar (B).
•
Two equally thick slats (C).
•
Two clamps (D).
•
A measuring tape (E).
•
1. Mounting the bar to the plough:
Put the plough on a at surface. Clamp the bar (B) to
the side cap (G) of the plough element and let the bar
extend to the front.
ZX1043702 —UN—30NOV09ZX1043703 —UN—30NOV09ZX1043704 —UN—30NOV09ZX1043705 —UN—30NOV09
IMPORTANT: The bar (B) must be mounted exactly
parallel to the side cap of the plough element.
Because the edge of the share (F) is wider
than the side cap (G), the bar (B) must be
mounted with a slat (C) in between .
2. Measuring the plough:
Adjust the width of the plough to its narrowest
(contract) position.
3. Measure the distance (X) between the side cap (G)
and the second slat (C) which is clamped to the bar (B).
4. Convert the measured width (X) to the total ploughing
width. To do this, divide the measured width (X) by the
number of measured elements. Multiply the result with
the total number of elements.
Example for a three-element plough: Adjust the
plough to its minimum width.
a. Measure the working width of two elements.
b. To calculate the total ploughing width, the measured
width is divided by 2 and the value obtained is then
multiplied by 3. If the measured width is for instance
58 cm (23 in.), the minimum total ploughing width
is: 58 / 2 x 3 = 87 cm (34 in.).
5. Measure and calculate the maximum ploughing width
in the same way.
IMPORTANT: If the plough has four elements or more,
it is recommended to measure the distance
between at least three elements.

Torque values listed are for general use only, based on the strength of
the bolt or screw. DO NOT use these values if a different torque value or
tightening procedure is given for a specic application. For stainless steel
fasteners or for nuts on U-bolts, see the tightening instructions for the
specic application. Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel type lock nuts
by turning the nut to the dry torque shown in the chart, unless different
instructions are given for the specic application.
Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always
replace shear bolts with identical property class. Replace fasteners with
the same or higher property class. If higher property class fasteners are
used, tighten these to the strength of the original. Make sure fastener
threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. When
possible, lubricate plain or zinc plated fasteners other than lock nuts,
wheel bolts or wheel nuts, unless different instructions are given for the
specic application.
