PREPARATION
Before beginning the installation, thoroughly clean the steering wheel and steering column area.
Park the vehicle on a clean, level oor with adequate clearance to work around.
Do not attempt to loosen or attach any ttings while the engine is running.
Photos and illustrations may vary from the actual components provided. This may be due to different installation options, operation modes or
production models.
Always try to use original parts. Built to the highest standards of safety and reliability, TeeJet Technologies parts are to be used for this system as
others might jeopardize the safety and function of the system. TeeJet is not responsible for any redesign or adaptations of the UniPilot ESM. Any
changes to the UniPilot ESM voids the company warranty. TeeJet Technologies supplies a set of mounting brackets that combined can create a
variation of options for your specic vehicle. Not all vehicles have been addressed with these parts and modications or additions to these parts
may be needed to t your specic vehicle.
Safety Information
TeeJet Technologies is not responsible for damage or physical harm caused by failure to adhere to the following safety requirements.
As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for its safe operation.
The UniPilot is not designed to replace the vehicle's operator.
Do not leave a vehicle while the UniPilot is engaged.
Be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people and obstacles before and during engagement.
The UniPilot is designed to support and improve efciency while working in the eld. The driver has full responsibility for the quality and work
related results.
Disengage and put the UniPilot ESM (Electric Steering Motor) in the standby position before operating on public roads. Put the UniPilot ESM in
the standby position when not in use to prevent accidental engagement or loss of vehicle control.

INSTALLATION
If there are questions concerning the installation of the UniPilot system on a vehicle, or due to the changes in component specications
the parts supplied in the kit are not 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 SO THAT THEY DON’T INTERFERE WITH THE MANY MOVING PARTS
OF THE UNIPILOT!
Overview of the Assembly
• The UniPilot will mount on the steering column of the machine.
• Installation of the mounting bracket does not require removing the steering wheel from the vehicle.
• Installation of the UniPilot does not prohibit movement of the steering wheel or a telescoping steering column.

Six Simple Steps to Get Going!
1. Assemble Universal Mounting Bracket Kit on steering column so that it can be adjusted with the installation of the
UniPilot ESM.
• See page 8 for recommendations for your specic steering column.
2. Install UniPilot ESM and check spacing.
• Attach the UniPilot ESM to the mounting bracket. The steering wheel should rotate freely around when the UniPilot
ESM is in the Operating Position. When in the Standby Position, there should be 1.6 in. / 40 mm of space between the
UniPilot contact wheel and the vehicle's steering wheel.
3. Secure or rmly tighten the mounting parts to Steering Column.
4. Connect Electronics.
5. Program Specic Settings on Guidance Console.
6. Activate & GO!
NOTE: All references to left and right are stated as if the user is seated in the
driver’s seat.
All references to front and back are stated in relationship to the front and
back of the vehicle.

1.6 in. / 40 mm of space
Assemble Mounting Bracket
The purpose of the mounting bracket is to securely mount the UniPilot ESM (Electric Steering Motor) to the steering column and keep the UniPilot
ESM from rotating around the steering wheel.
Depending on the shape of your steering column, a different mounting bracket conguration may be needed. The following page illustrates a few
examples of installation methods. If you do not see an example that illustrates your vehicle's requirements, please contact your dealer or TeeJet
Customer service representative for clarication on your specic vehicle's installation.
1. Assemble Universal Mounting Bracket Kit on steering column so that it can be adjusted with the installation of the UniPilot ESM.
The mounting bracket will be secured after the UniPilot ESM is assembled.

The disassembly of the steering motor UniPilot ESM happens in the reverse order of the
assembly.
Secure the Mounting Bracket
Firmly tighten u-bolts, metal strap or other attachment device to the steering column to
make sure that bracket(s) does not move when the steering wheel is rotated.
Make sure steering wheel freely rotates when the UniPilot ESM is in the operating position
(see page 12).
HINT: Mark the ideal position of the UniPilot ESM on the steering wheel bracket to make
the next vehicle change easier.

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 operation. TeeJet Technologies is not responsible for misuse or incorrect operation of the system.
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL TO ABSOLUTELY SECURE ALL CABLES SO THAT THEY DON’T INTERFERE WITH THE MANY MOVING PARTS
OF THE UNIPILOT!
WARNING! Disengage and put the UniPilot ESM in the standby position
before operating on public roads.
Figure 1-15: UniPilot ESM in Standby Position
Standby Position (Inactive)
To put the UniPilot ESM in the standby position, pull the contact wheel away from the
steering wheel until the standby mechanism engages and the UniPilot ESM is not pulled in
the direction to the steering wheel anymore.
Operating Position (Active)
To bring the UniPilot ESM into its operating position, pull/push the contact wheel away
from the steering wheel until the standby mechanism disengages and the UniPilot ESM is
pulled in the direction to the steering wheel again. The UniPilot ESM is active and ready
for action now.
Figure 1-16: Pull UniPilot ESM to Operation Position
Activate UniPilot ESM
With each power cycle of the guidance console, the UniPilot ESM will need to be activated.
1. Make sure the guidance console is on and has completed the start-up process.
2. Press the System Ready Switch 3 to 4 times to acknowledge the UniPilot ESM is in
the operating position and ready.
Begin Assisted Steering
To begin using the UniPilot to assist with steering:
1. Make sure the UniPilot ESM is in the operating position.
2. While the vehicle is moving in a forward motion, press the Remote Engage/Disengage
Switch or Footswitch.
NOTE: A guidance line must be established before the UniPilot can begin assist steering.

Operation and Storage Conditions
Electronic components of the UniPilot ESM are designed for rough environmental conditions like agricultural applications. However it should
always be installed in the operator's station of the vehicle.
Warning! Never use a pressure washer to clean the UniPilot ESM. If needed wipe with a moist cloth.
Warning! Always protect the UniPilot ESM from falling onto a hard surface, to prevent internal damage.
Life expectance of the UniPilot ESM can be extended by storing it under optimal conditions. Keep all mounting screws and brackets together if
the motor is not installed in a stored vehicle. Avoid locations with high humidity as well as high temperatures near generators, radiators or near
windows in direct sunlight.

details)
Contact Pressure
Should the contact wheel slip while activating the steering wheel, the contact pressure needs to be increased. Either slide the UniPilot ESM
towards the steering wheel or increase the spring preload.
To Increase / Decrease the Spring Preload:
1. Disassemble the UniPilot ESM.
2. Bring the motor to the normal operating position, so that the spring tension against the two mounting screws is at it’s lowest.
3. Loosen the two mounting screws in the assembly base with a 2.5 mm allen wrench, if necessary hold the inside nut with a 8mm open end
wrench.
4. To increase pressure move the two mounting screws with the spring ends in direction (1) To reduce pressure move the two mounting screws
with the spring ends in direction (2).
5. Once you have the desired spring pressure tighten the two mounting screws.
6. Reassemble the UniPilot ESM to its mounting bracket on the steering column.

Replacement of Contact Wheel
The contact wheel is a wear part and has to be replaced when worn.
To replace the contact wheel:
1. Put the UniPilot ESM in the standby position.
2. Unscrew the cover mounting screw with a 3 mm allen wrench.
3. Remove the cover from the contact wheel.
4. Pull the wheel from the 4 holding pins.
5. Slip the new contact wheel onto the four holding bolts and press it down.
6. Replace the cover and hand tighten the holding screw.
