Notice you now have an AGCO Corporation
folder; if you didn’t get this folder check the

will download any books that are missing from your library. The robot can not be told what
books to update it will simply update the whole library, if you do need a specific book and do
not want to wait refer to the section of this manual that explains how to install books over the
internet. The robot should only be used with Epsilon version 1.8.1 or later.

The most important step in this process is to delete any existing .net files in the Epsilon Data

of Epsilon will not function properly unless these files are deleted. It is extremely important to
remove the old .net files prior to setting up and running the Robot.

and then click on the Select All option. To delete the highlighted files, click on the File pulldown menu, and then select the Delete option from the menu displayed.

following: http://epsilon.au.agcocorp.com/robot/<brand>/books
Replace <brand> with one of the following barnds you have purchased: agco, agco allis,
agcostar, challenger, fendt, gleaner, glencoe, hesston, loral, massey ferguson, new idea, spracoupe, tye, valtra, white, white planters, willmar.

location else a report on what the robot has updated can be found at the location specified in the
Write reports to field (refer below)
