Note:
If the machine has an open center hydraulic system, or the type of hydraulic system is unknown,
be sure to maintain sufficient RPM while the AutoBoom system is engaged. The AutoBoom
system will not be able to raise booms at expected speeds if sufficient hydraulic flow is not
supplied to the boom cylinders.

AutoBoom Calibration
While calibration of some AutoBoom systems may be completed while in an active job, it is recommended to
exit the job and calibrate the system via the Calibrate tab found within the AutoBoom module. Review Chapter
3, Calibration, for additional information and detailed procedures.
Note:
Calibration of the UltraGlide XT system cannot be completed during an active job if the forward
pointing number value is not set prior to starting the job. Review the Forward Pointing Number
section on page 21 for more information on this value for the XT Control feature.
Boom Travel
During normal operations, the implement booms must be free to travel 10 inches [25 cm] up or down without
reaching the tops or bottoms of the cylinder stops. When operating with a travel-limited boom, review the
Sensor Offsets Tab section on page 15 and the Minimum Pressure Percent (UltraGlide Systems) section on
page 18 for additional assistance with adjusting the AutoBoom system for these configurations.
