Important Safety Information
lThe implement or machine must remain stationary and switched off with booms or
implement sections unfolded and supported during installation or maintenance.
lAny work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the
machine manufacturer’s approved maintenance instructions.
lBefore installing hydraulic components, ensure there are no issues with the machine
hydraulic system (e.g. pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the
hydraulic lines, etc.).
lTake precautions to prevent foreign material or contaminants from being introduced
into the implement hydraulic system. Contaminants that are able to bypass the
hydraulic filtration system will reduce performance and may damage hydraulic com-
ponents.
lVerify that the hydraulic system is using fresh oil and the filters have been
changed.
lStand clear of the implement when starting the system for the first time after installing
or servicing hydraulic components in case a hose has not been properly connected or
tightened.
CAUTION
Electrical Safety
lAlways verify that power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Revers-
ing the power leads could cause severe damage to the Raven system or other com-
ponents.
lTo prevent personal injury or fire, replace defective or blown fuses with only fuses of
the same type and amperage.
lDo not connect the system power cable to the vehicle ignition or battery until all sys-
tem components are mounted and all electrical connections are completed.
lAlways start the machine before initializing this Raven system to prevent power surges
or peak voltage.
lTo avoid tripping and entanglement hazards, route cables and harnesses away from
walkways, steps, grab bars, and other areas used by the operator or service personnel
when operating or servicing the equipment.
