Overview

CAUTION: Do not use AutoTrac™ RowSense™ system on roadways. Always turn off (disable) AutoTrac™ RowSense™ system before entering a roadway. Do not attempt to turn on (activate) AutoTrac™ RowSense™ system while transporting on a roadway.

When system is activated, stay alert and pay attention to surrounding environment. Take control of steering when necessary to avoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or other obstacles. To operate and steer machine safely, stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your ability.

IMPORTANT: The AutoTrac™ RowSense™ system is intended to aid operator in performing field operations more efficiently. Operator is always responsible for the machine path and must continue to pay attention to surrounding environment while operating machine. To identify people or obstacles in the machine path, stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair your ability.

Always operate machine from the operator’s seat. Always use seat belt.

NOTE: Max tire width for row-crop is 380 mm (14.9 in) when operating in 762 mm (30 in) rows.

If machine has AutoTrac™ RowSense™, crop maturity and plant structure are susceptible to damage. Remove RowSense™ paddles to avoid crop damage.

AutoTrac™ RowSense™ is composed of the following components:

• Integrated AutoTrac™ installed and activated on machine, with upgraded AutoTrac™ RowSense™ software programmed into Steering System Unit (SBBC or SSU)
• AutoTrac™ RowSense™ activation—GS3

•

• StarFire™ receiver with SF1, SF2, or RTK activation

AutoTrac™ RowSense™ is an enhancement to integrated AutoTrac™ on the GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display. The row sensors mounted to the front suspension assemblies detect crop to know where row is. Signals provided by the row sensor are integrated with existing AutoTrac™ signals to help keep machine on rows. When there is no signal coming from the row sensor (for example, driving through a waterway), normal GPS guidance applies.

Most other characteristics of AutoTrac™ remain unchanged. Row sensor is simply another position input for steering the machine. All tracking modes are set up the same way as they are with GPS based AutoTrac™. Read and understand GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display—Guidance Operator's Manual.
