AUTO SET TIRES IMPROVES TIRE WEAR AND BUCKET FILL

MOMENTARY LIFT COMMAND

Once activated, the system monitors machine parameters to detect contact when digging into material. It then applies a momentary lift command to the bucket. That puts a little added pressure on the front axle, eliminating wheel slip. Auto Set Tires will disengage if you make a lift command that is adequate to set tires while the system is active.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO FULL AUTODIG

The Auto Set Tires feature can be used in situations when the full digging automation of the Autodig feature is not desired. Refer to your Operation and Maintenance Manual’s monitoring system section for additional information on accessing the full Assist features menu.
