PREPARATION
1. Before beginning the installation, thoroughly clean the vehicle to remove dirt and contaminants that might
get into the hydraulic circuit.
2. Park the vehicle on a clean, level oor with adequate clearance to work around.
3. Do not attempt to loosen any hydraulic ttings while the engine is running.
4. Allow the motor and the hydraulics to cool until it is no more than warm to the touch before proceeding.
5. Prior to loosening any hydraulic ttings, be sure to have the appropriate plugs and caps available in order
to limit loss of hydraulic uid from the open ttings.
PREVENT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONTAMINATION. It is essential to thoroughly clean hydraulic
system ttings and hose connections prior to disconnecting or removing them. Use a spray
cleaner such as “Brake Clean” to prevent hydraulic system contamination. Note that o-rings used
on ORB and ORFF type ttings may be damaged by solvent cleaners such as “Brake Clean”. If a tting is to
be cleaned internally, the o-ring should rst be removed and cleaned with a berless cloth.
TO AVOID EXCESS LEAKAGE, DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE
FITTINGS ON THE MANUAL STEERING VALVE ARE DISCONNECTED.
WARNING: HOT, HIGH PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD. Hydraulic oil may be hot and under
extreme pressure. To prevent serious injury or death, relieve system pressure and allow the
system to cool before repairing or disconnecting. Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for leaks, using wood or cardboard instead of hands. Keep all hydraulic components in good repair.
WARNING: PINCH POINT HAZARD! To prevent serious injury or death, avoid unsafe practice
while manually operating hydraulic steering circuits. Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages.

INSTALLATION
If there are questions concerning the installation of the FieldPilot system on this vehicle, or due to
the changes in component specications the parts supplied in the kit are not exactly as presented
in this document, please contact your dealer or TeeJet Customer service representative for
clarication before installation. TeeJet Technologies is not responsible for misuse or incorrect installation of
the system.
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL TO ABSOLUTELY SECURE ALL CABLES AND HOSES SO THAT THEY
DON’T INTERFERE WITH THE MANY MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE!
1. PrePare the FieldPilot ValVe
Make sure the FieldPilot valve (C) is clean and free of dust. Work on a clean bench. Remove the plastic
plugs and install the elbow adapters (U) in the P, T, and A ports. Install the straight adapters (T) in the LS
and B ports.

8. install the ValVe control cable
Connect the FieldPilot valve control cable (E) to the coils on the FieldPilot valve and route the cable into the
cab. Connect it to the SCM harness. Do not be concerned at this time about which connector is connected to
which solenoid coil.

9. install steering disengage sensor
Remove the shields around the steering column in the cab. Mount the bracket from kit (W) as shown. Glue
magnets to the steering shaft (the magnets will need to be cut in half because the shaft is small). Install the
sensor in the bracket. Set the clearance between the magnet and the sensor as close to 1/8” as possible.

The Steering Control Module (SCM) should be securely mounted as level as possible to the oor. It must be
mounted with the arrows pointing toward the direction of travel. The control console can be mounted to the
preference of the operator. The GPS antenna should be mounted as far forward as possible on the cab on a
metal surface of at least 4” square.

12. VeriFY oPeration oF hYdraulics
and set the steering control rate
Clean and pick up the area around the vehicle and make certain that it is safe to operate. Start the engine
and check hydraulic connections for leaks. Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the other and back
to center, check for leaks. While steering through the extremes of movement, check the cables and hoses for
wear points and strain, adjust as necessary.
If using a Matrix series console and PWM control, then the oil ow rate adjustment
is accomplished through the console. The target lock to lock time is 6 seconds
and the Valve Frequency is 110. Refer to the Matrix manual for further instructions.
If using a CL220 or CL230 console then refer to the following instructions for adjusting the oil ow rate.
Adjust the hydraulic oil ow control knob on the FieldPilot valve to a starting
posi¬tion of 3 1/2 turns from completely closed. Adjust the oil ow by turning the knob
clockwise to reduce ow (increase seconds) and counter-clockwise to increase ow (decrease seconds).
Use the electronic steering control console to perform the left to right steering test, counting the seconds
to move the wheels from full left to full right and also in the opposite direction. It is a good idea to have the
vehicle moving forward very slowly during these tests so there is not excessive side pressure on the tires.
If you nd that the machine steers in the opposite direction from that being commanded in this steering test
sequence, switch the valve connectors at the FieldPilot valve coils.
Do this a number of times, adjusting the oil ow between tests, until a lock to lock steering response of
ap¬proximately 18 seconds is observed using a CenterLine® 220. Adjust to 14 seconds when using
a CenterLine® 230BP. Use the locking nut to secure this ow setting. The coils on the FieldPilot valve also
have manual push button overrides.
NOTE: To activate the manual overrides, a tool such as a small screwdriver or allen wrench must be inserted
into the end of the coil to depress the override button.
WARNING: PINCH POINT HAZARD! To prevent serious injury or death, avoid unsafe practice
while manually operating hydraulic steering circuits. Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages.
