Legal Notices
The following limited warranties give you specific legal rights. You may have
others, which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.
Product Limited Warranty
Trimble warrants that this Trimble product and its internal components (the
“Product”) shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will
substantially conform to Trimble’s applicable published specifications for the
Product for a period of one (1) year, starting from the earlier of (i) the date of
installation, or (ii) six (6) months from the date of original Product shipment
from Trimble. This warranty applies only to the Product if installed by Trimble
or a dealer authorized by Trimble to perform Product installation services.
Software Components
All Product software components (sometimes hereinafter also referred to as
“Software”) are licensed solely for use as an integral part of the Product and
are not sold. Any software accompanied by a separate end user license
agreement (“EULA”) shall be governed by the terms, conditions, restrictions
and limited warranty terms of such EULA notwithstanding the preceding
paragraph.
During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive such Fixes
to the Product software that Trimble releases and makes commercially
available and for which it does not charge separately, subject to the
procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble products generally. If you
have purchased the Product from an authorized Trimble dealer rather than
from Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix to
the Trimble dealer for final distribution to you. Minor Updates, Major
Upgrades, new products, or substantially new software releases, as identified
by Trimble, are expressly excluded from this update process and limited
warranty. Receipt of software Fixes or other enhancements shall not serve to
extend the limited warranty period.
For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply: (1)
“Fix(es)” means an error correction or other update created to fix a previous
software version that does not substantially conform to its Trimble
specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when enhancements are made to
current features in a software program; and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs when
significant new features are added to software, or when a new product
containing new features replaces the further development of a current
product line. Trimble reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion,
what constitutes a Fix, Minor Update, or Major Upgrade.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright c 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301
USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of
the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public
License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to
make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially
designated software packages-typically libraries-of the Free Software
Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we
suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary
General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case,
based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price.
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can
change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you
are informed that you can do these things.
To prote ct your right s, we ne ed to ma ke restr ictions that fo rbid di stribut ors to
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies
of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee,
you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code
with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so
that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the librar y
and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library,
and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/ or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no
warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else
and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the
original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by
problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free
program. We wis h to make sure that a c ompany cannot ef fectively restrict the
users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.
Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the
library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this
license.
Most GNU software, in cluding some librarie s, is covered by the ordin ary GNU
General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License,
applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary
General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to
permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared
library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a
derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License
therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of
freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for
linking other code with the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to
protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also
provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing
non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary
General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license
provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the
wid est pos sible u se of a c ertain librar y, so t hat it b ecome s a de-f acto st andard .
To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more
frequent case is that a free library does th
libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in nonfree programs
enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For
example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables
many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its
variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users'
freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the
Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the
library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived
from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in
order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General
Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so
as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of
those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Li brary", belo w, refers to any such s oftware library or work w hich has
been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means
either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modi ficati on".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source
code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interfacedefinition files,
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only
if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what
the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty ; and distribute a copy
of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to
be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an
argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good
faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such
function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its
purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose
that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore,
Subsection 2d requires that any applicatio n-supplied function or table used by
this function must be optional: if the ap plication does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights
to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective w orks based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with
the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License
inst ead of t his Lic ense to a given copy of the Lib rary. To do th is, you must al ter
all the notices that refer to this Lice nse, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU
General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer
version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has
appeared, then you can specif y that version instead if you wish .) Do not make
any other change in these notices.
Once thi s change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for th at copy, so the
ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library
into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code
from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to co py the source along with the
object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is
designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is
called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a
derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this
License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an
executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is
therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is
part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of
the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is
especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the
work i s itself a li brary. The thre shold for t his to be tr ue is not precisely de fined
by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts
and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less
in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether
it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus
tions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
por
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the
object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables
containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked
directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a
"work that uses the Librar y" with the Library to produce a work containing
portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice,
provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's
own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Librar y is
used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You
must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays
copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library
among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the
work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the
work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machinereadable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so
that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user
who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not
necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified
definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A
suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library
already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library
functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified
version of th e library, if the user inst alls one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a
charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that
you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must
include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable
from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need
not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of
other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating
system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the
Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-byside in a single library together with oth er library facilities not covered by this
License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate
distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities
is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
FM-750 Display User Guide 3
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on
the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be
distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is
a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who
have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or
any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties with this License.

expose the battery to temperatures greater than 71 °C (160 °F) as the battery may
explode.
WARNING – MOVING PARTS DURING THIS TEST! Please stay clear of the implement.
Ensure the implement is raised, the transmission is in PARK and the emergency brake is
applied before continuing.
Working with anhydrous ammonia
• Contact your NH3 supplier to review all safety requirements associated with anhydrous
ammonia (NH3).
• Always wear correct personal protective equipment. This includes, but is not limited to:
– Goggles or face shield
–Protective suit and gloves
–Respirator
• Do not allow anyone to operate the system without proper instruction and training.
• Stand up-wind when working around NH3 and related equipment.
• Always keep NH3 equipment away from buildings, livestock, and other people.
• Never work on NH3 equipment in confined spaces.
• Before you attempt to transport the implement, discharge the system of all NH3 and
completely shut down the system. See Discharging the system, page 7.
• If symptoms of illness occur during or shortly after use of NH3 products, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Keep a source of clean water (at least five gallons) readily available. In case of exposure, flush
exposed skin or eyes immediately with large quantities of water and seek immediate medical
attention.
• NH3 can be harmful to the environment if not used correctly. Follow all local, state, and federal
regulations regarding proper handling of this chemical.
20.1 Servicing the equipment
1. Remove the system from operation before performing any maintenance.
2. Thoroughly bleed all system lines and disconnect the nurse tank hose. See
Discharging the system, page 7.

3. Make sure that the gauge pressure is at zero before you open the system.
4. Use extreme caution when opening a previously pressurized system.
Discharging the system
1. Turn off the console or vehicle master switch.
2. Completely close the main shut-off valve on the supply or nurse tank.
3. Resume field application until the pressure gauge shows zero pressure.
4. Check again that the console and/or vehicle master switch, and all section
switches, are turned off.
5. Completely close the emergency shut-off valve the cooling tower.
6. Bleed and disconnect the nurse tank supply hose from the system.
7. Turn on the console master switch and all section switches.
8. Stand up-wind from the implement and then slowly open the bleed valve(s) until
fully open.
9. Allow at least one (1) hour for the system to fully discharge.
Safety
10. Before you open the system, make sure that the pressure gauge on the manifold
reads zero and that the cooling tower is not cold to the touch. This ensures that
all liquid NH3 has evaporated and that the pressure is discharged.
Note – Frost on any component is a positive indication of trapped NH3 at low pressure.
Lack of frost does not always indicate a lack of NH3.

Installing the antenna
Note – To minimize any interference to the GPS signal, make sure that the GPS antenna is
at least 1 m (3 ft) from any other antenna (including a radio antenna). You may experience
interference if you operate the vehicle within 100 m (300 ft) of any power line, radar dish,
or cell phone tower.
Note – The AG25 antenna has integrated magnets for easy installation. To attach the
antenna to a non-metal surface, you must use the mounting plate.
To install the AG25 antenna:
1. Find the mounting location for the antenna at the front of the vehicle roof,
centered from left to right.
2. On the mounting plate, remove the protective covers from the adhesive strips.
3. Attach the mounting plate to the vehicle roof with the adhesive strips. Ensure
that the mounting plate is centered along the vehicle roof.
4. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.
5. Place the antenna directly on the mounting plate. The three magnets embedded
in the bottom of the antenna will hold it in place.
