Curve smoothing
By default, curves are smoothed by the EZ−Guide 500 for improved guidance and autosteering. You can disable
curve smoothing on tight turns (curves that have a radius of less than 3m (10ft).
CAUTION: If you disable curve smoothing, the EZ−Steer 500 system or the AgGPS Autopilot system may not
be able to autosteer around the tighter turns. Be careful when you disable curve smoothing.
To disable curve smoothing:
Set the lightbar to Advanced mode.

Select Configuration / System / Guidance / Minimum Turn Radius Mode.

Select Disabled.

Pivot
Use the Pivot pattern on fields that are irrigated using a center−pivot. With this pattern, you can drive concentric
circles around the center−pivot.
