1.1.4 Licensing for road traffic
The CLAAS GPS PILOT steering system must be
installed either according to the installation instructions
provided in the certificate proving that the unit is safe
to operate or according to the prototype report. This
depends on your machine type.
If your machine type is covered by the certificate prov-
ing that the unit is safe to operate issued by the
RWTÜV, please read this certificate before starting off.
This document must always be carried along on the
machine and presented upon request.
This certificate proves that the installation of the auto-
matic CLAAS GPS PILOT steering system is safe to
operate on different machines.
Please check if your machine is listed in that
certificate.
If it is not, the operating permit of your machine will
expire.In that case, you should contact your specialist
workshop immediately.
In addition, this certificate specifies the use of the auto-
matic steering system. One essential point is that
when driving on public roads, the system must always
be shut down.
When the system is installed on a machine type cov-
ered by the regulations of the prototype report, an
expert must carry out an acceptance of the steering
system.
Until further notice, version no. Zgm 154.0.3 for install-
ing control systems for automatic steering of tractors
shall apply.
After the CLAAS GPS PILOT has been installed in
a specialist workshop, the workshop foreman shall
complete and sign the installation certificate
(Annex 3 of prototype report).

6.4.1 Shifting A - B lines in the menu
This function is used when the guidance lines do not
match the target track.
This may be the case when a large field is split in the
middle and one half of the field is then harvested.
When the machine returns to the middle of the field
after some time, the guidance lines may not match the
target track any more due to the correction signal
received in the meantime.
The original guidance lines can be shifted to the cur-
rent position.
There are two ways of shifting the A - B lines.
Option 1
Shifting the A - B lines in the A - B mode.
By calling up the menu item, the A - B lines can be
shifted to the current machine position.
Option (1) is described under: Shifting A - B lines in the
A-B mode.
Option 2
Shifting the A - B line in the menu.
After calling up the menu item, a value in centimetres
can be entered by which the A - B lines are to be
shifted.
The result obtained from the two options 1 or 2 is the
same.
The entire grid is relocated / shifted. Note: The new
grid does not fit the tracks travelled previously any
more.
Note!
All guidance lines are shifted.
Avoid unnecessary shifting of guidance lines.
– Harvest one plot completely in one work
process.
– Avoid changing permanently between
different plots.
Option 2
– Drive the machine at the working edge
(crop edge).
– Switch on the AUTO PILOT.
– Check if the GOLDEN LINE display (15) lights up.

7.2.1 Setting up the base station
Good signal quality and range can be guaranteed only
if the place of installation fulfils the following
conditions:
– Set up the base station within the viewing range of
the machine if possible.
– Do not set up the base station in valleys or
depressions.
– Set up the base station at a distance of 50 m min.
from an obstacle of 5 m height max. (tree,
building).
– Set up the base station to the side of the AB lines
if possible.
– Do not change the position of the base station
during operation.
If operations require a new position, e.g. on the
next working day or when changing into another
field, the base station must be newly set up. Wait
for the base station to be ready for operation.
Under the conditions mentioned above, the GPS
PILOT can operate within a radius of up to 3 - 5 km
around the base station without any restrictions.

– Continue following the contour guidance.
When using contour guidance, the tracks add up, one
after the other. Consequently, inaccuracies of the pre-
vious track are also added. Working with many
different tracks may turn out inaccurate.

7.7.2 Activating contour guidance
12 the "Fieldwork settings" chapter.
Contour guidance is usually employed for working
edges or for driving along field boundaries or contour
lines. In this mode, either an initial passage is recorded
or the vehicle is guided along a previous passage.
When logging an initial passage, the area size is auto-
matically calculated.
In the contour guidance mode, any passage defined
previously (including an A-B line) can be used for
2 5 guidance.
26
9735 Contour guidance and recording starts automatically
when the GPS PILOT receives an activation signal
from the machine. This signal may e.g. be released by
the following conditions: Front attachment down,
mower units down, PTO shaft ON, pre-set power lift
position.
Driving the initial passage:
– Drive the machine on the first turning area track.
– Setting the perimeter setup.
– Select Contour guidance by pressing key (5).
– Move the front attachment / implement to working
27 position.

The display now shows "Recording track".

active.
– Harvest the first track around the complete field

along the field edge / drive until the machine has
returned to the starting point.
– Press pushbutton (2), thus displaying the area
size.
Driving another passage:
When a second track is detected, the steering direc-
tion display and the track deviation display light up.
– Steer the machine manually to the adjoining track.
The GPS PILOT automatically identifies the next pass.
This pass is then used in the next track.
Driving a new initial passage:

Let us proceed from the assumption that you have
completed several passages and you wish to start a
new line now which does not match the previous one.
Drive where you wish to start. Since it is quite apparent
now that you are not guided by another track, the unit
returns to the "Record track" mode.

Change-over operation:
You may change between straight line guidance and
contour guidance at any time. When changing from
straight to contour, the GPS PILOT will guide you
along any previously covered track.
50485
7.7.3 Activate straight guidance.
Straight guidance is usually employed for driving on
straight or parallel tracks. In this mode, you either
record an initial passage (the A-B line) or you are
guided along a previous passage (an A-B line).
You can set up the first track (the A-B line) along a
straight field boundary or split up the field with a
straight swath and work towards both sides. All
following passages will run at an equal distance
(= pre-set working width) from the first track.
28
9668
– Clear the turning area completely. Use Contour
guidance to do this.
There are three ways of saving the points (A) and (B).
See below.
• Saving points (A) and (B).
• Saving points (A) and (B) + (B new).
• Saving point (A) + angle.
– Select one option and proceed. The further proce-
dure is again independent of the three options.
– Steer the machine manually on the turning area,
turn the machine around and always drive into the
crop at full cutterbar width.
This ensures that no residual areas will remain at
the beginning and at the end of the track.
The machine will move slightly out of the crop laterally
until the target track corresponds to the pre-set work-
ing width.
Change-over operation:
You may change between straight line guidance and
contour guidance as required. When changing over to
straight guidance for the second time, you must select
if you wish to follow the previous A - B line or specify a
new line.
Passage numbering:
After setting up an A / B line, all passes are numbered
as shown.

7.7.5 Relocating A-B lines in the A-B mode
This function is used when the guidance lines do not
match the target track.
This may be the case when a large field is split in the
middle and one half of the field is then harvested.
When the machine returns to the middle of the field
after some time, the guidance lines may not match the
target track any more due to the correction signal
received in the meantime.
The original guidance lines can be shifted to the cur-
rent position.
There are two ways of shifting the A - B lines.
Option 1
Shifting the A - B lines in the A - B mode.
By calling up the menu item, the A - B lines can be
shifted to the current machine position.
Option 2
Shifting the A - B line in the menu.
After calling up the menu item, a value in centimetres
can be entered by which the A - B lines are to be
shifted.
Option 2 is described under: Relocating the A - B line
in the menu.
The result obtained from the two options 1 or 2 is the
same.
The entire grid is relocated / shifted. Note: The new
grid does not fit the tracks travelled previously any
more.
Note!
All guidance lines are shifted.
Avoid unnecessary shifting of guidance lines.
– Harvest one plot completely in one work
process.
– Avoid changing permanently between
different plots.
