•Follow all safety information presented within this manual.
•If you require assistance with any portion of the installation or service of your Raven equipment, contact
your local Raven dealer for support.
•Follow all safety labels affixed to the AutoBoom system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good
condition and replace any missing or damaged labels. To obtain replacements for missing or damaged
safety labels, contact your local Raven dealer.
When operating the machine after installing AutoBoom, observe the following safety measures:
•Be alert and aware of surroundings.
•Do not operate AutoBoom or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or an illegal
substance.
•Remain in the operator’s position in the machine at all times when AutoBoom is engaged.
•Disable AutoBoom when exiting from the operator’s seat and machine.
•Do not drive the machine with AutoBoom enabled on any public thorough-fare or main road.
•Determine and remain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for
disabling AutoBoom when the safe working distance has diminished.
•Ensure AutoBoom is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on AutoBoom or the machine.
Please review the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller.
NOTICE

Chapter 1
2 John Deere 4700 (1998 and Older) AutoBoom Installation Manual
When starting the machine for the first time, be sure that all persons stand clear, in case a hose has not been
completely tightened.
This machine must remain stationary and switched off with the booms unfolded and supported while
installation or maintenance is conducted.
Hydraulic Safety
Hydraulics may be under pressure. Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment
running. Care should always be taken when first opening a system that has previously been pressurized.
When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic oil may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised. Any work carried out on the hydraulic
system must be performed in accordance with the machine manufacturers's approved maintenance
instructions. Raven Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn at all times when
working on the hydraulic system. When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or performing diagnostics,
maintenance, or routine service, ensure precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or
contaminants from being introduced in the machine's hydraulic system. Objects or materials that are able to
bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration system will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the
AutoBoom hydraulic valves.
Electrical Safety
Do not reverse power leads. Doing so could cause severe damage to the equipment. Always make sure that
the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Ensure that the power cable is the last cable
to be connected.

Install the PowerGlide Hydraulic System
Install Fittings on the AutoBoom Valve
Before mounting the AutoBoom valve on the machine, install the proper fittings on the valve. This prepares the
valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure.
Use the following table to install the fittings in the appropriate ports on the AutoBoom valve.
Note: Remove fittings from rod and barrel end of tilt cylinders to see if orifices are installed in cylinder
ports.
If orifices are found in cylinder ports, remove orifices and install the ROD END orifices into ‘LV’ and
‘RV’ port on the AutoBoom valve (FLAT SIDE AWAY).
If orifices are not found in the cylinder ports, continue with the installation.
WARNING
This machine must remain stationary and
switched off with the booms unfolded and
supported while installation or maintenance is
conducted.

Install the PowerGlide Dual Cartridge Option (If Applicable)
This procedure will demonstrate how to install a second cartridge to the AutoBoom valve, which will enable the
AutoBoom system to operate the left and right booms independently. Otherwise, the AutoBoom system will
operate the left and right booms in conjunction.
Note: To install the PowerGlide Dual Cartridge Option, you will need to order a Mechanical Cartridge
(P/N 334-0002-072) from your Raven Dealer.
1. Remove the port plug from Port ‘6A’.
FIGURE 1. Removing Cavity and Port Plug from the AutoBoom Valve
2. Remove the cavity plug from Port ‘5A’ and insert it into Port ‘6A’.
3. Insert a Mechanical Cartridge (P/N 334-0002-072) into Port ‘5A’.

Mount the AutoBoom Valve
1. Secure the AutoBoom valve (P/N 063-0131-119) to the mounting plate (P/N 107-0171-619) using the 5/16”
hex bolts (P/N 311-0049-235) and 5/16” lock washers (P/N 313-1000-019).
FIGURE 3. AutoBoom Valve Mounted on the Valve Mounting Bracket
2. Secure the Autboom valve/mounting plate to the machine’s center rack by using the U-bolts (P/N 107-0171-
608) and 3/8” lock nut (P/N 312-1001-164).
Note: The valve should be installed to the left of the machine’s center rack.

Install the Pressure and Tank Hoses
WARNING
Hydraulics are under pressure. Care should
always be taken with a system that has been
pressurized. When disconnecting or
purging hydraulic hoses, be aware that the
hydraulic oil within the machine system may
be extremely hot and under high pressure.
CAUTION
When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or
performing diagnostics, maintenance, or
routine service, ensure precautions are
taken to prevent any foreign material or
contaminants from being introduced in the
machine’s hydraulic system.
Objects or materials that are able to bypass
the machine’s hydraulic filtration system
will adversely reduce performance and
possibly damage the AutoBoom hydraulic
valves.

To Install the Pressure and Tank Hoses
1. Locate and disconnect the pressure hose from the right side of the machine’s stack valve.
Note: This should be the port labeled ‘P’ (IN). If you cannot determine which line is the pressure line,
trace back each line until you find the line that connects to the hydraulic pump. That is the pressure
line.
2. Install a tee fitting (P/N 333-0012-065) to the pressure port on the machine’s valve.
3. Connect the machine’s pressure hose to the installed tee fitting.
