SAFETY / MACHINE PREPARATION INFORMATION
Personal Protection
● Always wear protective glasses, shoes and any other protective equipment as required by job conditions and
machine.
● Wear protective glasses when using pressurized air or water to clean surfaces or cleaning overhead surfaces.
● Use proper protective welders clothing if a welding operation is to be done.
● Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on machine parts or tools.
● Use steps and handrails when entering or exiting a machine while facing the machine.
● Use caution when checking for hydraulic leaks and system operation. Do not use bare hands to check for leaks.
Pinhole leaks can result in a high velocity fluid stream that can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
Stand clear and use a board or cardboard to check for leaks.
● Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
Machine Cleaning
● If the machine has been used to apply agricultural chemicals, the machine must be steam cleaned to remove
any chemical residue from the areas where the technician will be installing brackets, making hydraulic
connections or routing cables and hoses.
● The technician must wash hands prior to eating or drinking after working on the machine.
● Remove all dirt and debris from the areas of the machine where the Autopilot system will be installed.
Pre-Installation Machine Preparation
● Park the machine on a level, hard surface. Block the front and rear wheels.
● Align the steering straight ahead. On articulated machines, install the articulation locks.
● Lower all attachments to the ground.
● To avoid burns, allow hot machines to cool before attempting installation.
● Relieve all pressure in oil, air and water systems before disconnecting any lines, fittings or related items.
● Be careful when removing fill caps, breathers and hose connections. Hold a rag over the cap or fitting to
prevent being sprayed by liquids that may still be under pressure.
● Before starting to disconnect hydraulic and electrical components, disconnect the battery cables and attach a
“Do Not Operate” or similar tag in the operator’s cab. A lockout box should also be installed on the battery
terminal to avoid the battery from being reconnected.
● Remove the key from the ignition switch.
NOTE: Before beginning installation, read through these instructions to familiarize yourself with the installation
procedure.
NOTE: The left and right sides of the machine are referenced while standing behind the unit, facing the normal
direction of travel.
NOTE: Open all kit boxes and check contents of box against packing list/s. Lay all parts out on a clean work bench.
