Information
Important Safety Information
Read this manual and the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller
carefully before installing the AutoBoom™ system.
•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 road.
•Determine and remain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for
disabling AutoBoom when the safe working distance has been diminished.
•Ensure AutoBoom is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on AutoBoom or the machine.
NOTICE

Chapter 1
2 Miller Condor Spray-Air Boom AutoBoom Installation Manual
•When starting the machine for the first time after installing AutoBoom, be sure that all persons stand clear,
in case a hose has not been properly tightened.
•The machine must remain stationary and switched off, with the booms unfolded and supported while
installation or maintenance is conducted.
Hydraulic Safety
•Raven Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn at all times when working on
the hydraulic system.
•Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment running. Care should always be
taken when opening a system that has been previously pressurized.
•When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.
•Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s
approved maintenance instructions.
•When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure
that precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants from being introduced into 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
•Always verify that the power leads are connect to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power leads
could cause severe damage to the equipment.
•Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.

Install the PowerGlide Plus Hydraulic System
Remove the Orifice Fittings
Before populating the hydraulic fittings on the AutoBoom valve, it is necessary to remove orifice fittings from
the valve in the PowerGlide Plus system. Failure to remove these fittings from the valve will restrict the down
speed of the booms when the system is enabled.
WARNING
The machine must remain stationary and
switched off, with the booms unfolded and
supported, during installation or maintenance.
CAUTION
When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or
performingdiagnostics,maintenance,orroutine
service, ensure precautions are taken to
prevent any foreign material from being
introduced into the machine’s hydraulic system.
Objects or materials that are able to bypass the
machine’s hydraulic filtration system will reduce
performance and possibly cause damage to the
AutoBoom hydraulic valve.
NOTICE
The appearance of the AutoBoom hydraulic
valve may vary slightly from the images
contained in this manual. However, the fittings,
hose connections, and cable connections
remain the same.

Install the Gauge Wheels
Gauge Wheel Mounting Locations
Wheel mounting locations may be influenced by the boom configuration. Determine the appropriate location for
mounting the wheels on the boom, ensuring the wheels will not interfere with or be damaged while folding or
unfolding the booms. The wheels should be mounted outside of the boom fold, but inside the boom
breakaway..
Mount the Gauge Wheels
Note: The appearance of the wheel axles may vary.
FIGURE 11. Gauge Wheel Installed
1. Remove the nuts from the left wheel axle (P/N 063-0131-590).
2. Place the wheel (P/N 322-0131-008) on the left wheel axle.
3. Align and place the hub retainer bracket (P/N 107-0171-617) over the wheel.
4. Reinstall the lug nuts on the wheel axle to secure the wheel and hub retainer bracket.
5. Mount the left wheel receiver bracket (P/N 116-0159-697) to the front of the left boom by installing four 2-
1/2” ID x 3.12” L x 3/8” thread zinc plated U-bolts (P/N 435-3003-043) through the back of the receiver
bracket and securing them with eight 3/8”-16 zinc flanged lock nuts (P/N 312-1001-164).
6. Insert the left wheel axle into the left wheel receiver bracket, positioning it so that the bottom of the wheel
touches the ground (or nearly so).
7. Secure the gauge wheel assembly in the wheel mounting bracket by installing two 1/2”-13 x 1-1/2” SS hex
bolts (P/N 311-0058-186) and two 1/2” zinc hex nuts (P/N 312-1000-043).
8. Repeat the steps above to install the right wheel.
WARNING
The machine must remain stationary and
switched off, with the booms unfolded and
supported, during installation or maintenance.
