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.

Safety

Operate Guidance Systems Safely

Do not use guidance systems on roadways. Always turn off (disable) guidance systems before entering a roadway. Do not attempt to turn on (activate) a guidance system while transporting on a roadway.

Guidance systems are intended to aid the operator in performing field operations more efficiently. The operator is always responsible for the machine path.

Guidance Systems include any application that automates vehicle steering. This includes, but may not be limited to, AutoTrac, iGuide, iTEC Pro, ATU, and RowSense.

To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:

Use Seat Belt Properly

Use a seat belt when you operate with a rollover protective structure (ROPS) or cab to minimize chance of injury from an accident such as an overturn.

Do not use a seat belt if operating without a ROPS or cab.

Replace entire seat belt if mounting hardware, buckle, belt, or retractor show signs of damage.

Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware at least once a year. Look for signs of loose hardware or belt damage, such as cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, discoloration, or abrasion. Replace only with replacement parts approved for your machine. See your John Deere dealer.

Never get on or off a moving vehicle.

•

Verify the machine, implement, and guidance system

•

are set up correctly. If using iTEC Pro, verify accurate boundaries have been defined. Remain alert and pay attention to the surrounding

•

environment. Take control of the steering wheel, when necessary, to

•

avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other obstacles. Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your

•

ability to operate the machine or identify people or obstacles in the machine path. Consider field conditions, visibility, and vehicle

•

configuration when selecting vehicle speed.

Theory of Operation

Surface Water Pro is a two modular program—basic and advanced. Surface Water Pro (basic program) is designed for users to create levees and develop basic ditches in their fields. Surface Water Pro Plus is an advanced ditching program that generates a “best fit drain”. Surface Water Pro Plus calculates the most effective drain in a field while moving the least amount of soil. This information is generated from vertical GPS signals calculated from StarFire 3000 or StarFire iTC receivers. Surface Water Pro Plus requires both a machine and implement receiver and cannot operate with just an implement receiver. Levee applications require John Deere RTK, and ditching requires either SF2 or RTK signal. For greater accuracy, we highly recommend the RTK solution.

NOTE: For best accuracy, recalibrate benchmark after

power cycling the quick survey and absolute base station. When starting up the base station, the point of reference could shift slightly, so for the highaccuracy user, consider recalibrating.

Operating with an absolute survey base station reduces the need for benchmarking. In quick survey mode, anytime the base is moved or power is cycled, another calibration is required for high accuracy users.

John Deere implement mounts must be used because they reduce vibration and minimize hardware failures. Vibration mounts help minimize hardware failures over time, especially in ditching applications.

Record ditches from HIGH TO LOW elevation. Cut ditches in either direction.

To ensure highest system accuracy, do not operate Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus outside a ONE MILE radius of the Base Station.

Surface Water Pro features available on the GS3 display and our Apex Desktop Software provide value by offering ways to manage your topographic data better and ensure optimum water distribution for crop production. Apex Surface Water Pro features allow you to unload your GS3 survey data to generate Depression, Flow Direction, and Drainage maps utilizing GSDNet. You can also manage your Ditch and Levee Tracks from year to year by editing cut, slope, or drop of fall. Additionally, layering your ditch or levee tracks over your yield data displays your results from the work you completed. See your local John Deere Dealer or visit our website www.StellarSupport.com to learn more about these additional features for your Surface Water Pro program.

Reprogram receivers (Surface Water Pro Plus) at the vehicle receiver location. Each receiver must be updated individually every time a software update is available [3.20D or older]. You cannot have both receivers attached to the wiring harness when reprogramming.

IMPORTANT: A StarFire iTC receiver, or newer, is

required for Surface Water Pro.

Surface Water Pro Plus does not support an Implement Receiver Only configuration. Do not run ditching with an implement receiver only—both a Machine & Implement receiver must be used to operate that software.

Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus Survey function is NOT compatible with Swath Control Pro. Do not use the survey function in conjunction with Swath Control Pro.

Surface Water Pro and Pro Plus is NOT compatible with iGuide Do not use in conjunction with iGuide.

Machine Turn Radius—How sharp the machine can turn without an implement attached and without applying brake pressure. The turn radius is half the diameter as measured at the center of the rear axle of a row crop tractor, and the pivot point on tracks and 4WD tractors. Example: 8030 wheel tractors have a minimum turn radius of 6.1—6.7 m (20—22 ft). Choose a number to start with and change as needed for accuracy.

Turning Sensitivity—AutoTrac gain setting when the vehicle is in an automated turn. This is adjustable by the operator to improve performance (default 70).

Verify proper dimensions correspond to the Machine selected.

NOTE: Not all recording sources are available

for all machines.

IMPORTANT: Distance (D) is measured when the

implement is in the FULLY RAISED position. This dimension is critical for accurate ditch designs.

Remember: Always measure to the same place on the receiver when measuring (that is, top, middle, and others).

Implement Offsets—Used to define the actual implement

position relative to the tractor. This is important for ensuring the implement is lined up to the field at the end of turns and in determining where the implement is for the Minimize Skips and Minimize Overlaps feature (see Change Settings on Machine tab).

A) Inline distance from connection point to front of

•

implement. On pulltype implements, think of this as the tongue. For more precision, it is actually the dimension from the pinbolt to the front side of where the work gets done (front ranks of field cultivator, seed drop point on a planter). B) Working Length of the implement. On ground

•

engagement tools, this is the distance from the front rank of sweeps or points to the rear rank. Refer to implement manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual for this value. C) Lateral distance from connection point to control point

•

of implement. This is the lateral distance from the center of the tractor to the center of the implement which will be 0.0 for most common implements. This dimension is used to alert the operator to potential collisions. This is critical for proper endturn performance and may need to be adjusted. D) Inline distance from connection point to control

•

point of implement. In many cases, this distance will be from the connection point to the carrying wheels. For proper turns, measure this distance with implement at the height it typically will be at while turning.

NOTE: These dimensions may need to be adjusted

for finetuning performance in the field.

IMPORTANT: Ensure vertical distance (D) is measured

from the GPS receiver to the ground when the implement is in the FULLY RAISED position.

Implement Widths—Used to enter implement width

and track spacing for guidance. This value is also used to calculate total area when documenting the operation. Verify implement type, model, name, implement width and track spacing when changing implements. Implement width and track spacing are independent of each other.

NOTE: IMPLEMENT tab will show HEADER for

Combines, ROW UNITS for Cotton Pickers, and BOOM for Sprayer.

Implement width may come from controller on select controllers such as SeedStar.

In some cases, a higher degree of precision can be achieved for track spacing when track spacing is entered in by rows instead of feet. More decimal places are used in the track spacing calculation when entered in by rows versus the three decimal places allowed when entered by feet.

Defining Implement Width and Track Spacing.

Implement width and track spacing can be defined two ways: enter the working width of the implement, or enter the number of rows and the row spacing. To toggle between these two, select the m (ft)/(rows) button.

Implement Width m (ft)—enter total implement working

•

width Implement Width rows—enter number of rows and the

•

row spacing in inches

Track Spacing—Used in guidance for how far each pass is from the last pass. It is entered the same way as Implement Width. For “perfect” guess rows, this distance will be the same as Implement Width. To ensure some

PC9902 —UN—09JAN07

Track Spacing

E—Row Width

PC9903 —UN—09JAN07

overlap for tillage or spraying, or to account for some GPS drift, you may choose to make the Track Spacing somewhat less than the Implement Width.

Physical Width—The actual width of the entire implement when being used in the field when the implement is raised. It is sometimes larger than Implement Width.

Using a planter as an example, the marker arms and blades are wider than the working width. This width needs to be entered if markers are not used, or are used and completely folded on the ends. If markers are only partially folded during turns, enter this larger dimension.

IMPORTANT: Width measurements are used to help

alert an operator of potential intersections between the implement and an impassable boundary. The operator still needs to be aware of potential collisions if there are times the implement is wider than the dimension entered (e.g. marker arm lowered). If markers are used in the field, add the width of both markers to give ultimate alarms of possible intersections.

NOTE: As a buffer to avoid obstacles, additional Physical

Width may be added to the implement to compensate for several things, one of these being GPS drift.

An example where the working width is wider than the physical width is a dry fertilizer spreader—it spreads much farther than the physical width of the buggy.

Confirm Configuration—The

physical width is smaller than the implement width which may not allow detection of all intersections with impassable boundaries.

If your RTK kit came with a 7.5 cm (3 in.) antenna extension it is suggested to discard the extension and use either the 23 or 30 cm (9 or 12 in.) onepeice antenna. Use of the 7.5 cm (3 in.) extension on the implement receiver could result in the loss of the antenna due severe vibration created by some implements.

How to Survey a Field

Surface Water Pro provides a Survey tab for the purpose of performing a field survey. When a survey is performed, the RCD (GS3) creates a survey file for the field that contains a collection of data points. Each point represents a specific latitude and longitude position within the field for which an elevation value is stored.

The data collected can be valuable to create informational maps. Any maps created from this data is only as good as the quality of the data that creates it. In order to create quality maps from your field survey data, be sure to perform your field survey to the highest quality. As a start, please observe the following guidelines as a minimum for performing a field survey.

1. Use the correct differential correction for your application. It is recommended an RTK correction be used for the highest accuracy and quality survey data. An SF2 correction is allowed for surveying your fields, but only after consulting your dealer to see if it is right for your application. An RTK correction is always utilized for flat to rolling field terrain. Using an inappropriate differential correction for collecting elevation data leads to inaccurate maps.

2. Make the first pass very close to the exterior field boundary, when collecting survey data, to ensure sufficient data around the perimeter of the field. Make the second pass around the field boundary but slightly offset inward from the first pass. Offset the second pass approximately 15 m (50 ft.).

3. Conducting a thorough survey can be done by

setting up straight track lines and parallel tracking off them through the field. Set up straight track lines with intervals depending on the field being surveyed.

Fields with significant elevation changes and slopes

•

— track spacing of 7.5—15 m (25—50 ft.) is recommended.

Flatter fields — a track spacing of 15 m (50 ft.) is

•

recommended. Flat to precision leveled ground — a track spacing of

•

15—30 m (50—100 ft.).

Do not exceed 50 m (164 ft.) track spacing for surveying purposes.

4. Two forms of Survey recording types are available:

Distance Base—ideal for low speed surveys and

•

consistently spaced at userdefined distances. Time Based—suited to higher speed surveying and

•

the distance between the points varies with the speed at which the survey is recorded.

5. Ensure that the entire field has been covered. Do not skip parts of the field because they are inaccessible due to wet or muddy conditions; you are in a hurry; you think you do not have time to finish properly. This has a negative impact on the quality of your maps generated from your collected data. It is important to cover the entire field.

6. It is also a good idea to survey the bottom of existing ditches within the field, and at a minimum ditches with measurable width and depth. Utilizing parallel tracking with straight track can cause the user to miss areas of interest for surveying, for example the bottom of a main ditch which can have measurable width and depth.

Survey Mode is designed to allow an operator to collect elevation and position data as a separate operation. From this data, topographical information can be created and displayed. The accuracy level while surveying determines the accuracy of the topographical maps. Elevation data points can also be obtained for log files created while performing field operations such as planting and combining.

NOTE: Survey Mode is not allowed with Swath Control Pro.

Create Best Fit Drain Design

Surface Water Pro Plus

Select MENU softkey >> GREENSTAR 3 PRO softkey >> SURFACE WATER PRO softkey >> DITCH tab >> PROFILE VIEW button >> EDIT DRAIN button.

The CREATE/EDIT DRAIN screen provides the ability to create or edit a drain design associated with a ditch track.

The map shows the portion of the survey elevation that is highlighted on the FullView Map.

NOTE: The drain generated is a black line.

Cut Volume is calculated based on Implement Width. Check before designing drains.

Best fit drain provides the operator with the ability to create a drain design that utilizes existing ditch track vertical profile while minimizing the amount of soil moved. This is dependent upon the input parameters. It is possible to get a NO SOLUTION with this feature. If software fails to create a drain design, update image and adjust parameters in Step 2 to produce a valid drain design.

1. Select drain type (A)—Best Fit.

2. Input: MIN Slope (%) (B), MAX Slope (%) (C), MIN Cut (in.) (D), MAX Cut (in.) (E).

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Troubleshooting

Blade height is incorrect.

Symptom Problem Solution

Displayed blade height does not match actual blade height.

Ditch or levee depth or height does not match desired height/depth.

Offset C or D had an incorrect measurement during ditch track recording.

Offset C should be the exact height of the receiver when implement is in the fully raised position.

Offset D should be the height of the blade when the implement is in the fully raised position.

Offset C and D were measured with the implement in the fully raised position but ditch track was recorded with implement skimming the ground.

Measure all offsets as instructed in Operator’s Manual.

Ensure that offsets are measured according to how the machine is used. for example if ditch track is recorded with scraper blade skimming the ground, set up offset measurements to reflect that in offsets C = offset D.

Can correct error, for example, if blade (cutting edge) is on the ground, but Profile View shows it as 2 in. above the ground, increase Implement GPS Offsets C (vertical distance from receiver to ground) by 2 in.

Machine receiver was used to record ditch track and machine receiver height measurement is incorrect.

Cannot record Ditch Track.

Symptom Problem Solution

Ditch track not showing up on map.

GS3 does not let operator record ditch track.

Operator has not selected correct “client, farm, field”.

Operator has not selected correct tracking mode.

Guidance lines on map have been turned off.

Ensure correct “client, farm, and field are selected.

Ensure that correct tracking mode has been selected from the Guidance page—from the Guidance settings tab select ditch track or levee track mode.

Ensure that guidance lines are turned on—from the maps page select map settings and then check the guidance lines checkbox.

GS3 shows Machine travel direction reversed.

Symptom Problem Solution

GS3 shows machine direction of travel reversed.

SWP does not allow recording.

When in survey mode using a pickup or ATV, GS3 shows direction of vehicle travel to be reversed.

Direction of travel has been changed on the Guidance page.

Some applications require mounting the StarFire Receiver backward.

Continued on next page JS56696,00009F4 1918MAY111/3

Under the StarFire softkey choose to change the mount direction of the receiver to match actual receiver direction on machine.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Cannot get a valid solution from Best Fit Drain.

Symptom Problem Solution

Best Fit Drain does not return a valid solution for a drain design.

Minimum and Maximum slope are not set low and high enough respectively, in other words the range is not wide enough.

The ditch track may have been recorded from low elevation to high elevation, and best fit drain is looking for a solution to make water run uphill.

Set Minimum and Maximum slope to lowest and highest allowable levels to widen the range of cut depths. Rerun best fit drain.

If ditch track was recorded from low elevation to high elevation best fit drain is attempting to find a solution to make water run uphill. Record ditch from the highest elevation to lowest elevation.

Drain Map shows and upward swale(vertical) at end of drain track.

Symptom Problem Solution

Recorded drain design has a vertical rise or uplift at the end of the ditch track.

Ditch track stop point was recorded while receiver was not at the lowest point of elevation on the ditch track.

When ending at ditch track at a point where the water drains, ensure that the implement receiver is stopped and recording is finalized with the receiver at the lowest point of the ditch track. In other words, if the ditch track is recorded traveling downhill finalize recording BEFORE proceeding up any incline from the ditch drain.

Vertical guidance appears after Machine starts to AutoTrac. Implement is still active after AutoTrac shuts off at the end of a track.

Symptom Problem Solution

Vertical guidance bar does not shows correction at same time or position that AutoTrac is engaged. While implement is still active or engaged AutoTrac guidance is lost. AutoTrac is engaged and AutoTrac guidance is present before the implement height guidance is available.

Ditch track was recorded in one direction and Ditch was cut in the opposite direction. AutoTrac guidance is based on location of the Machine receiver and Implement height Guidance is based on the location of the Implement Receiver. If track was recorded driving one direction and cut in the opposite, the distance between the receivers is the distance driven without guidance from either AutoTrac or Implement height depending on

Cut the ditch track in the same direction that the track was recorded in.

If it is not feasible or practical to record and cut or pull in the same direction, machine begins to AutoTrac before implement requires ground engagement, and Autotrac guidance is lost before the end of the track or before the implement height guidance ends.

direction of travel in relation to the direction of the recorded pass.

Ditch track was recorded using machine receiver as source. Implement height guidance is active when the implement receiver is over the track recorded by the machine receiver.

Machine begins to AutoTrac before implement requires ground engagement, and Autotrac guidance is lost before the end of the track or before the implement height guidance ends.

Guidance does not show track right away.

Symptom Problem Solution

When recording straight sections of a ditch or levee track, guidance recorded track does not show up as quickly as when recording curve sections of track.

Symptom Problem Solution

Scraper or Ditcher icon will not show up when selected from Implement Type dropdown menu.

Guidance does not need to update the track as often for straight sections of track, and will therefore take longer to display the recorded track.
