  • Weak satellite signal.

  • The GPS system loses the guideline or a degradation of the RTK connection.

  • You manually turn the steering wheel.

  

  Figure 36

     Figure 37

   Steering Status Table

   Condition	Description when the condition displays in red:
   Receiver hardware	Check that the receiver is connected and getting electrical power.
   Differential corrections	The control console may not match the correction source requirements.
   Position accuracy	The satellite receiver needs time for signal convergence. Check the number and color of the satellite icons on the control console. Drive the machine to a clearing with no overhead power lines.
   Steering controller	Check that the controller is connected and getting electrical power.
   Vehicle geometry	The vehicle geometry is incorrect. Select a new vehicle profile.
   Vehicle profile	Check which vehicle is selected in the controller and check the geometry settings.
   Steering calibrated	The steering needs to be calibrated; refer to your Toro Distributor or Toro’s NSN Service Center.
   Lockout	The steering system is in transport mode, there is a fault with the wheel angle sensor, or the steering controller has reported an error.
   Guideline (wayline) available	The machine is too far from the guideline—drive closer to the guideline. Check that the guideline is created and selected.
   Guideline (wayline) synchronized	The guideline is not loaded. Check that the satellite receiver has a satellite signal and the receiver loads the guideline. It may take time to upload guidelines to a satellite receiver, particularly for large curved guidelines.
   Prohibited operation	The system cannot engage when certain actions are performed, such as steering calibration, changing GPS settings, or exporting a job.
   Operator presence	Sit in the operator’s seat.
   Steering wheel	Loosely hold the steering wheel when engaging the steering assist function.
   Speed	Drive the machine between 1 to 12.9 kph (0.7 to 8 mph). The required speed may vary by machine.
   Crosstrack error	Drive the machine closer to the guideline before engaging the steering assist function.
   Heading error	Check the angle or vehicle speed that the machine is traveling when approaching a guideline. Check the compass calibration.

Guidelock guidance model generates a curve based on existing coverage.

Select the guidelock icon on the top of the display .

Note: The black (or white) icon indicates that guidelock mode is off and the colored icon indicates that it is on.

Boundary steering creates a guideline inside the boundary and is offset by half an implement width away from the boundary. The offset width can be adjusted using the nudge menu.

Ensure that the guideline is a sufficient distance away from the boundary to avoid colliding with anything.

As the vehicle moves towards the center of the field, more guidelines are created. Guidelines are spaced one implement width apart.

To create a boundary, refer to your GeoLink Software Guide.

1. Enable boundary steering in the setup menu.

   

   Figure 45

2. Press and hold to select the boundary on the display.

   The boundary is highlighted on the display.
