Calibrate The Machine's Steering System - Raven SmarTrax Calibration And Operation Manual

CALIBRATE THE MACHINE'S STEERING SYSTEM

NOTE: On certain steering-ready machines, it may not be necessary to calibrate the steering system. If
calibration is not required for the machine's configuration, proceed to "Advanced Setup Tools" on
page 92.
After the initial calibration of the SmarTrax system is complete, it is necessary to calibrate the machine's steering
system. This allows the SmarTrax system to learn the hydraulic capabilities of the machine for optimal steering
performance in the field.
Before beginning the machine's steering system calibration, ensure:
• The booms are racked on self-propelled units.
• There are no implements connected to the hitch.
• The machine's engine is running at the normal operating RPMs.
• The machine's measurements are correctly entered into the Viper Pro.
NOTE: To ensure the calibration is successful, the number of starts and stops during the calibration process
should be limited. If it is necessary to pause the calibration process, turn the steering wheel or tap the
foot/enable switch. Tap the foot/enable switch again to resume calibration.

VIPER PRO CALIBRATION AND OPERATION
WARNING
The machine's wheels will turn automatically. Be
sure the area around the vehicle is clear of
people and equipment before engaging the
steering system.
NOTICE
The calibration of the machine's steering system
should be performed in a field or other large,
open space and during conditions similar to
normal vehicle operation.
If the ground or surface is slippery, muddy, or
freshly tilled, the SmarTrax system may learn
incorrect steering responses for normal
operating conditions.
Ensure that the machine's hydraulics are
operating properly and there are no other
mechanical issues that may affect the
performance of the SmarTrax system.
