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.

7. install steering hoses and adaPters
Locate the steering hoses from the orbital that connect to steel directly above the engine. Label both
hoses and disconnect them. Then install run tees (N) on both lines with the branch of the tees facing up.
Reconnect the original steering hoses to the run of the tees (N). Next connect the steering hoses (M) to the
branch of the tees and route them to the A & B ports of the FieldPilot valve. The hoses will exit the engine
compartment on the right side and route along the right side of the machine. Just in front of the rear axle the
hoses will cross over to the left side and the route back and up to the FieldPilot valve.
The steering disengage kit (U) is used to automatically disengage FieldPilot when the steering wheel is
turned. The magnets mount on the steering shaft or other rotating part of the steering wheel and the sensor
mounts so that there is a 1/8” clearance between the sensor and magnet.
Connect item (A) to the connector on the SCM harness labeled Remote Engage/Disengage. Install the push
button in a location that is easily accessible during operation of the machine. This switch (A) is not required
if the optional foot switch 32-04020 is used.

11. recoMMended electronics installation
The Steering Control Module (SCM) should be mounted securely to the oor of the cab as far forward in the
cab as possible. The control console can be mounted to the operator’s preference. The GPS antenna should
be mounted near the nose of the vehicle 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.
The nal oil ow rate adjustment is accomplished through the Matrix console.
The target lock to lock time is 6 seconds. The valve frequency is 110. Refer to the
Matrix manual for further instructions.
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.
