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. Carefully trace the EF line from the prioritized pump to be sure there are no aftermarket components that
may be damaged by high pressure if they are upstream from the new electric/hydraulic steering valve.
6. 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.
7. Discharge brake accumulator by pushing brake pedal approximately 15 times
before loosening any hydraulic tting.
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.

4. INSTALL STEERING OUTPUT ADAPTERS
Locate the hoses that run just under the FieldPilot valve mounted in Step 3. Disconnect the two hoses
running up to the orbital from the Tees. Install adapters (FF) in these two hoses. Leave the Tee’s in the other
lines and install on them an additional Tee Adapter (AA) as illustrated.

5. INSTALL STEERING OUTPUT HOSES
Install hoses (V) to branches of the original Tees and route them to ports A and B of the hydraulic control
valve. Be sure hoses are secure and route them for problem free operation.

7. INSTALL PRESSURE AND EXCESS FLOW HOSES
Remove the steel line that goes from the Charge Valve to P port of the steering orbital. It may be necessary
to remove the hose and tting next to the P port to gain access to the P port steel line. Install tting (DD) in
port on the charge valve. Install hose (U) from the charge valve tting (DD) to the P port of the FieldPilot
Valve (G). Install hose (T) from EF port on the FieldPilot Valve (G) to the P port of the steering orbital.
Route the hoses along the right side of the support frame above the engine. It may be necessary to cut some
of the foam to allow room for these two hoses and cable to t properly.

8. INSTALL THE VALVE CONTROL CABLE
Find the cable exit port in the cab and route the valve control cable (J) outside. Run it up along the rewall
and then along with the hydraulic hoses up to the steering control valve. Connect the DIN connectors to the
steering control valve. Tie up any excess cable to prevent entanglement with any moving parts.
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 ⅛” clearance. Connect the sensor to the
cable labeled Steering Wheel Sense. Tie up the cable so it does not interfere with any moving parts.

10. INSTALLATION OF ENGAGE/DISENGAGE SWITCH
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. The control console
can be mounted to the operator’s preference. The GPS antenna should be mounted as far forward as
possible on top of 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.
The oil ow rate adjustment is accomplished through the Matrix console. The
target lock to lock time is 5 seconds. Refer to the Matrix manual for further
instructions.
Use the electronic steering control console to perform the left to right steering test. Count the seconds to
move the wheels from full left to full right and also in the opposite direction. The vehicle should be 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.
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.
