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 BLOCK
Make sure the FieldPilot valve block is clean and free of dust. Work on a clean bench. Remove the plastic
plugs and install straight adapter (P) in the P, T, A, B, and LS ports. Take care not to damage the o-rings on
the adapters during this process.

4. TRACTORS USING “POWER BEYOND” OPTION
NOTE: If vehicle is NOT using the John Deere “Power Beyond” option, skip to Step 6.
“Power Beyond” is accessed on the top of the rear valve block on the tractor. The load sense port will have
a run tee installed with one drop going to the power beyond load sense and the other going to the tank port
on top of the block. Where the tank line from the power beyond load sense enters the block, there is also an
orice plate. The pressure port is on the top of the valve block between the tank and the load sense ports. It
may have an additional line or it may be plugged, depending on whether or not the power beyond feature is
active on the tractor.

5. MODIFYING THE POWER BEYOND INSTALLATION
It is necessary to install a shuttle tee valve (M) in the power beyond load sense port to allow either the
installed power beyond function or the FieldPilot valve (D) to trigger the load sense to the pump. Prepare the
shuttle tee valve by installing adapter (R) into the common port on the shuttle tee valve (M). Install two of
the adapters (P) into the other two ports of the shuttle tee value (M).

R
Remove the run tee with the power beyond load sense and the tank return hose, from the adapter in the load
sense port on the tractor valve block. Connect adapter (R) previously installed on the common port of the
shuttle tee (M) on this adapter, in its place. Install the run tee that was removed to one port of the shuttle tee
valve (M) as shown. Remove the other end of the tank return hose from the elbow adapter in the tank return
port on the tractor valve block. Install a run tee (N) on the elbow adapter and install the power beyond tank
return hose to the end of the run tee.
NOTE: The “Power Beyond” tank return line has an orifice plate in it. Be sure this is still in place.
Remove the plug from the pressure port on top of the valve block and install adapter (S) in this opening.

11. INSTALL STEERING DISENGAGE SENSOR (KIT 91-07011)
On the right hand side of the steering column in the cab, remove the lower bolt as indicated. Drill a hole in
the aluminum bracket from Kit 91-07011 for the bolt to t through. Install the aluminum bracket and bend it
as illustrated. Attach the magnets (included) to the steering shaft. The magnets may need to be cut in two.
If the magnets are labeled North and South, alternate between them. The more magnets installed, the more
sensitive the disengage feature. Install the sensor and adjust to 1/8″ clearance. Connect the sensor to the
cable labeled Steering Wheel Sense. Tie up the cable so it does not interfere with any moving parts.

14. 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 5 seconds.
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 2½ 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 16 seconds is observed using a CenterLine® 220. Adjust to 12 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.
