6 CRUISE PILOT setup Procedure Engage the processor and feederhouse; learn the max. no-load speed Learn the max. no-load speed periodically to ensure accurate reading of the engine load indicator Select on in the master switch screen to turn on CRUISE PILOT Page 8: CRUISE PILOT functions are located under gear icon Select desired CRUISE PILOT driving strategy Page 9: recommended strategy: Maximum throughput with grain loss sensing Learn zero throughput with no crop in the feederhouse Page 10 Set maximum desired harvesting ground speed Page 13: the combine will not operate over this set speed when CRUISE PILOT is engaged To set the target throughput, harvest normally at the desired throughput level (ignoring losses for now), then press and hold the A-button button until it beeps; target throughput will now be set to crop thickness in the feederhouse Page 12: to set target throughput manually If using Maximum throughput with grain loss sensing strategy, set the loss sensors to the desired loss sensitivity The loss triangles should be filled roughly halfway, to ensure that the machine can read a change is loss levels; repeat this process if necessary Engagement: Disengagement: To engage CRUISE PILOT, briefly press the A-button on the multi-function lever If held until it beeps, the combine will relearn current throughput in feederhouse To disengage CRUISE PILOT, tap the foot brake (recommended) or pull back on the multi-function lever. Tapping the brake makes for a smoother disengagement 6

36 Learning phases After CEMOS AUTOMATIC has found the effective range for each system to function within for those particular harvest conditions, the systems will then go through check phases between every 4 and 40 minutes. These check phases will ensure that the machine is functioning within the correct range for the harvest conditions. The learning phases usually do not take longer than 20 seconds and are displayed by a symbol in the CEBIS loss display. During the learning phases of the CEMOS AUTOMATIC functions, the loss or returns displays in the CEBIS harvest display are temporarily displayed in grey. CEMOS AUTO SEPARATION learning phase: symbol appears above the rotor losses. CEMOS AUTO CLEANING learning phase: symbol appears above the sieve losses. 36
