Recognize Safety Information

This is a safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.

Understand Signal Words

A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION—is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards.

DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near specific hazards. General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual.

Follow Safety Instructions

Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Be sure new equipment components and repair parts include the current safety signs. Replacement safety signs are available from your John Deere dealer.

There can be additional safety information contained on parts and components sourced from suppliers that is not reproduced in this operator's manual.

Learn how to operate the machine and how to use controls properly. Do not let anyone operate without instruction.

Keep your machine in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair the function and/or safety and affect machine life.

Safety

Practice Safe Maintenance

Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.

Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet , and clothing from power-driven parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow machine to cool.

Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.

Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.

On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems or welding on machine.

On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from tractor before servicing electrical system components or welding on machine.

Handle Electronic Components and Brackets

Safely

Falling while installing or removing electronic components mounted on equipment can cause serious injury. Use a ladder or platform to easily reach each mounting location. Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not install or remove components in wet or icy conditions.

If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or other tall structure, use a certified climber.

If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when mounting locations are not accessible from the ground or from a service platform.

General Information

All operators must be familiar with AutoTrac system and operating characteristics prior to operation. Operator must know the make of the AutoTrac controller installed on their machine prior to operation.The following is a suggested procedure for operator to become familiar with system:

1.Read and understand Operators Manual for GreenStar Guidance—Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac Assisted Steering Systems.

2.Choose an open area free of hazards (ditches, buildings, etc.).

3.Set Track Spacing to 92.0 meters (300 ft).

4.Set a Track 0 (A—B Line).

NOTE: Operate vehicle at a speed you are comfortable, recommend less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

5.Enable AutoTrac on display by turning Steer ON.

6.Press Resume switch to activate AutoTrac. (See Activating system later in this section).

7.After driving a short distance, then turn steering wheel to turn vehicle off track to deactivate AutoTrac. (See Deactivating System later in this section).

8.Practice Activating AutoTrac at different distances before and after crossing track and at different angles. Increase and decrease speeds to simulate different operating conditions.

9.Reduce Track Spacing to acquire multiple tracks and continue practicing activating AutoTrac at different angles and varying speeds to understand how AutoTrac behaves under different conditions.

Always be prepared to resume manual control if AutoTrac does not perform expected maneuvers or machine course must be changed to avoid injury or property damage.

Operator can regain manual steering by turning steering wheel or Disabling AutoTrac by turning Steer off on display. It is recommended practice to be as close as possible to desired track prior to activating AutoTrac. This will ensure correct track and direction are acquired.

The AutoTrac basic system is intended to be used as an assistance tool to mechanical markers on planters. Operator must evaluate overall system accuracy to determine specific field operations where assisted steering may be used. This evaluation is necessary because accuracy required for various field operations may differ depending on farming operation. Because AutoTrac uses StarFire differential correction network along with Global Positioning System (GPS), slight shifts in position may occur over time.

To operate AutoTrac operator must set track 0 (similar to parallel tracking) and all tracks are drawn parallel to track 0 using track spacing.

The AutoTrac system operating status can exist at four levels: INSTALLED, CONFIGURED, ENABLED, and ACTIVATED.

After enabling AutoTrac (see Enabling AutoTrac), AutoTrac is activated by pressing resume switch on armrest (see Activating AutoTrac). To return to

manual steering, operator must deactivate system (see Deactivating System).

If required track can be shifted left, right or centered using shift track feature on display. (See Shift Track).

Selecting previous will make the tractor icon move under the WAS Left Value (A) allowing the operator to change the WAS Left Value.

To start the Valve autocalibration process the machine must be moving forward at 1 to 4 mph. When the machine is moving at 1 to 4 mph press the resume switch to start the autocalibration process.

Select previous (A) to navigate back to WAS Calibration.

The autocalibration screen will display when the resume button is pressed. The progress bar (A) will start to fill during the autocalibration process.

To stop autocalibration select Stop (B) at any time. The operator can also turn the steering wheel at anytime to stop autocalibration. If the autocalibration is stopped at any time it must be completed before AutoTrac will operate.

NOTE: Do not turn the steering wheel during the autocalibration process unless it is an emergency. Turning the steering wheel will cause the test to stop. If the test is stopped it must be completed before AutoTrac will operate.

Once tractor is at end of row operator must turn system to next pass. By turning steering wheel, AutoTrac is deactivated. Operator must turn onto next track.

AutoTrac can be activated by pressing resume switch only after following conditions are met:

NOTE: Calibration procedure must be complete with a passing status prior to using AutoTrac.

Once two pieces of the PIE are achieved, the operator can enable AutoTrac by selecting the Steer On icon.

If two pieces of the PIE can not be achieved, the operator will not be able to activate AutoTrac.

A diagnostic button is located next to the PIE icon.

If two pieces of the PIE can not be achieved, select wrench icon to view AutoTrac Diagnostics.

The Diagnostics page will indicate what is needed for each of the four PIE pieces and the status of all requirements.
