Pitch Control mode is only applicable for pitch plows. Other types of machinery should not attempt to use
this mode.
Pitch Control is a fall-back mode of operation which may be used when GPS is unavailable. Keep in
mind that:
• The Pitch Zero must be calibrated and correctly adjusted.
• Always prefer Grade Control or AutoTile mode when GPS is available. Pitch Control mode does not use
GPS. It merely holds the plow shank at a specified pitch.
• Do not depend on the installed grade matching the pitch with better than 0.5% accuracy.
• Entering the incorrect pitch with a pull type plow may result in the plow emerging from the ground, and be
unsteady, possibly resulting in the plow tipping on its side.

A keypad will be displayed to enter the
desired starting pitch. When you accept
this starting value, the machine will
respond to the display, so ensure by-
standards are not in the way.
The “Up” and “Down” buttons will be
visible and can be used to move the
cylinders prior to starting install. Use
AutoLevel to level the plow at the start of
the run. If the implement is in the ground,
do not use the AutoLevel.
