• In these instructions, you will see the heading WARNING and the safety alert symbol . They indicate a hazardous
situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The safety messages provide information to identify a
hazard associated with potential injury.
• Before installing, operating, or performing maintenance or service on any part of the system:
– Read and understand this installation guide and all of the safety information.
– Read and understand the Automated Steering System User Guide.
• Do not allow anyone to operate without instruction.
• Keep these instructions and all related safety information with the manual for your machine and other implements.
If you have any questions or need assistance, contact your local dealer or distributor.
Overview
A series of equipment specific kits has been developed to work in conjunction with your automated steering system . For the
machine models listed above, these kits contain the components for:
• the steering hydraulics
• the wheel angle sensor (WAS)
• the steering wheel switch (SWS - for steering override)
• the electronic control unit (ECU)
The items in each kit are detailed in the tables that follow the safety warnings beginning below. After the kit tables, there are
four step-by-step installation sections, one for each of the kits.
Please read this manual thoroughly before beginning the installation.
To avoid serious injury or death duri ng machine operation, install the appropriate kits for your machine make and model.

Machine Preparation
Inspect the machine and perform any needed maintenance (for example, contaminated hydraulic fluid) before installing the
automated steering kit. This kit cannot perform as intended on a machine that is not maintained properly. Errors in
performance increase the risk of operator and bystander injury or death.
Failure to maintain clean hydraulic fluid and operational hydraulic components can cause loss of directional control resulting
in serious injury or death.
To avoid serious injury, wear hand and eye protection and use wood or cardboard when checking for leaks.
Turn off the machine and power off the automated steering controller when installing or performing maintenance.
Before attempting to install any of the components, park the machine on a clean level floor with adequate clearance to work all
around.
Before you perform any drilling, cutting or fastening, ensure that no other machine components, such as hydraulic hoses or
electrical wiring, will be damaged. Failure to follow this warning may cause physical injury and/or damage to the machine.
To prevent hydraulic system contamination, it is essential to thoroughly clean hydraulic system fittings and hose connections
prior to disconnecting or removing. Use a degreasing solvent spray cleaner such as a brake cleaner to prevent hydraulic system
contamination. Note that o-rings used on ORB and ORFF type fittings, referred to in the Kit Contents section, may be
damaged by degreasing solvent cleaners. If a fitting is to be cleaned internally, you should first remove and clean the o-ring
with a fiberless cloth.

Before installing, disconnecting or repairing the hydraulic hoses and components, turn off the machine and relieve all pressure from the hydraulic system by turning the steering wheel left and right. Failure to remove the pressure can result in serious injury or death from unexpected machine movement.
T o avoid burn injury when installing, disconnecting or repairing the hydraulic hoses and components, turn off the machine and
allow the system to cool down prior to touching the parts of the machine that are heated.
See Appendix B for a schematic of the hydraulic circuits.
1.Prepare the hydraulic steering block.
Make sure the hydraulic steering block HA is clean
and dust free.
Remove the plastic plugs from hydraulic steering
block HA and install adapter fittings as follows
(Figure 1):
• HB in the P and T ports
• HC in the A and B ports
• HD in the LS port

rear axle (Figure 4b with inset).
c.Disconnect the load sense line then connect the
assembled load sense valve HP to the valve stack
using fitting HR (Figure 4c inset). Connect the
machine’s load sens e hose to the load sense valve at
fitting HS (Figure 4c).
d.Disconnect the pressure and tank hoses and install
run-tees HK and HL to the pressure and tank ports
on the valve stack respectively. The tank port is the
larger of the two (#16). Reconnect the machine’s
pressure and tank hose to the open ‘T’ ends of the
two run-tees (Figure 4c with inset).
5.Install the pressure, tank and load sense hoses.
Route all hoses with other machine plumbing free
from entanglement and secured with heavy tie
straps HY.

steering hoses and install run-tees HO. Reconnect
the machine’s steering hoses to the open ‘T’ end of
each run-tee (Figure 6, bottom).
7.Install the steering output hoses.
a.Connect steering hoses HV (the longer) and HW to
the stem of the run-tees at the head and rod ends of
the steering cylinder respectively (Figure 7a).
Route the hoses, with other plumbing and clear of
moving parts back and up to the hydraulic steering
block. Use ties HY as necessary.
Using hardware HJ, install steering controller HI
on its mounting bracket HH. Mount HI with its
connector sockets inward and the pressure wash
warning on top (Figure 8).
9.Verify operation.
During tests of the hydraulic system, the
machine may move unexpectedly. Be
prepar ed for machine movement to avoid
injury.
Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages to prevent
serious injury or death from pinch point
hazards while manually operating the
hydraulic steering circuit.
a.Tighten all connections and clean up the installation
area around the machine and make certain that it is
safe to operate.
b.Start the machine and check hydraulic connections
for any leaks.
c.Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the
other and back.

1.Prepare the wheel angle sensor.
a.Using the provided hardware WE (nuts) and WD
(bolts), attach the WAS wire connector WB to the
WAS housing WA. Install the bolts up through the
bottom of the housing. Mount WB with its right
edge in line with the right front corner of WA
(Figure 1a).

the WAS arm WC to the WAS assembly. Mount the
arm in the same direction as the WAS wire connector WB (Figure 1c with inset).
Before you cut the r od at step d, screw the pr ovided
nuts WH onto the threaded rod WG so that they
are inside the cut you will make. After you have cut
the rod, the nuts can help clean the threads.
d.Cut threaded rod WG to 6½” long (Figure 1d-i)
then screw swivel rod ends WI onto the cut rod to
achieve a center-to-center stud measurement of
7¾” (Figure 1d-ii). Leave WH loose until you
complete linkage adjustment at step 2f.

1.Install the ECU.
a.Identify the ECU mounting location on the cab
floor to the right of the driver’s seat.
Facing the one inch tabs of bracket EJ toward the
driver’s seat, align the bracket parallel to the seat
mounting box and with (Figure 1a):
• The front edge of the bracket in line with the
front face of the seat mounting box.
• The outer edge of the one inch tabs ½” from the
right face of the seat mounting box.
Using hardware EL, fasten the bracket to the cab
floor (Figure 1a). Use a small level (not shown) to
check the level of the bracket. Adjust accordingly.
Do not overtighten the self drilling screws. Overtightening could cause the fastener to fail.
b.Using hardware EM (not visible) attach the ECU
EI to bracket EJ. Have the power and communica-
tions indicators at the top (Figure 1b left) and the
wire connections toward the rear of the machine
(Figure 1b right).

2.Assemble and install the cables.
On a clean surface, lay out all the cables and
become familiar with the connections and where
they are to be placed. See Appendix A.
Route all cables with other machine cabling,
plumbing or fixtures free from entanglement and
secured with heavy tie straps HY.
a.Connect cable EA to the ECU EI using an Allen
wrench to secure the cable to the ECU. The EA
connector will only fit the ECU socket that is in line
with the power and communications indicators at
the opposite end of the ECU - so the top socket in
this installation (Figure 2a).
b.Connect steering controller cable EC’s two 12-pin
connectors (black and gray) to their respective
sockets on the steering controller HI (Figure 2b).
c.Connect EC’s connector labeled ‘VALVE’ to valve
cable ED. Connect ED’s three 2-pin connectors
(labeled ‘LEFT’, ‘RIGHT’ and ‘ENABLE’) to the
enable valve and two solenoid valves on the
hydraulic steering block (Figure 2b).
