Clean and pick up the area around the vehicle and make certain that it is safe to operate. Start the engine
and check hydraulic connections for leaks. Check the cables and hoses for wear points and strain, adjust as
necessary.
NOTE: The “lock-to-lock” on tracked vehicles refers to an approximate 90º turn either left to right or right to
left.
The final oil flow rate adjustment is accomplished through the Matrix console. The
target lock to lock time is 8 seconds and the valve frequency is 110. Refer to the
Matrix manual for further instructions.
Use the Matrix console to perform the left to right steering test, counting the seconds to move the left and
right approximately 90º. The vehicle should be moving forward very slowly during these tests. If you find
that the machine steers in the opposite direction from that being commanded in this steering test sequence,
switch the valve connectors at the FieldPilot valve
NOTE: To activate the manual overrides, a tool such as a small screwdriver or allen wrench must be inserted
into the end of the coil to depress the override button.
WARNING: PINCH POINT HAZARD! To prevent serious injury or death, avoid unsafe practice
while manually operating hydraulic steering circuits. Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages.
