EZ-Guide Plus Lightbar Guidance System Getting Started Guide

Steer the vehicle to center the green lights in the lightbar as you drive forward along
the swath.

Center-pivot pattern

Use the Center-pivot pattern for a field that is irrigated using a center-pivot. With this
pattern, you can drive concentric circles around the center-pivot.

1.

Position one wheel of the vehicle in a pivot wheel
rut, with the rear of the vehicle to the pivot arm. If
the field is not a full circle pivot, face the rear of the
vehicle to the edge of the field.

2.

To start the pivot, map Point A.

3.

Drive around the field. Keep the vehicle wheel in the
rut. The lightbar does not yet provide guidance.

4.

When you are almost back to the pivot arm or the edge of the field, map Point B.
The EZ-Guide Plus lightbar generates guidance swaths.

5.

Turn left or right for the next swath. The next swath is automatically selected.

6.

Steer the vehicle so that you center the green lights in the lightbar as you drive
forward along the swath.

Note — To work from the center of the field outwards, the initial pivot must have:

a radius of at least two swath widths

an arc length of at least two swath widths

Row Finder pattern

The Row Finder pattern makes it easy to find the correct
row to drive down after you make a turn. It is based on
the Adaptive Curve pattern.

1.

Set the swath width and implement offset.

2.

Set the A point.

3.

Drive the first swath.

4.

When you reach the end of the row,
manually set the B point at the end of
the row. The swath number will appear
in the top right corner of the screen.

5.

Repeat Step 4 for each successive
swath.

6.

Use the offline LEDs and screen to
turn onto the next swath.

Tip — Row Finder guidance works on straight or curved rows.
