1. Place the GeoDock Pro antenna on the antenna plate of the tile plow.
2. Connect the GeoDock extension cable to the back of the GeoDock, and route the cable toward the
tractor. Ensure that the cable is not routed in locations that can be pinched or damaged along the
way.
3. Route the GeoSteer Main harness from the GeoSteer Control unit rearward toward the hitch of the
tractor. (NOTE: This is the same harness used when the Geodock is installed on the top of the
tractor cab). Also route the antenna coax cables with the main harness, and connect to the GeoDock
extension harness.
4. Connect the GeoSteer NMEA 12 pin Deutsch (PN 4003837-19) to the “NMEA A” connection of the
Main harness. Route this outward from the hitch of the tractor.

Management Control Module, and connect to the WMC Module GPS Breakout cable (PN 4003459-
1, included with the Water Management Control Module Kit).
6. After all the cables are connected and routed safely, secure them with zip ties. (NOTE: Ensure that
there is enough slack in the cables to allow movement of the machine before securing them.)
