C hapt er 1 Important Safety
Information
Read this manual and the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller
carefully before installing the SmarTrax™ 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 SmarTrax 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 SmarTrax, observe the following safety measures:
•Be alert and aware of surroundings.
•Do not operate SmarTrax 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 SmarTrax is engaged.
•Disable SmarTrax when exiting the operator’s seat and machine.
•Do not drive the machine with SmarTrax enabled on any public road.
•Determine and remain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for
disabling SmarTrax when the safe working distance has diminished.
•Ensure SmarTrax is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on SmarTrax or the machine.
•When starting the machine for the first time after installing SmarTrax, be sure that all persons stand clear in
case a hose has not been properly tightened.
•The machine must remain stationary and switched off during SmarTrax installation or maintenance.
NOTICE
WARNING

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 SmarTrax 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 reduce performance and possibly damage the SmarTrax valve.
Electrical Safety
•Always verify that the power leads are connected 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.

Preparing for Installation
Before installing the SmarTrax system, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Turn off the
machine and leave it turned off for the duration of the installation process. Bleed pressure from the hydraulic
system by loosening the hydraulic fittings slowly, where applicable.
During the installation process, follow good safety practices. Be sure to carefully read the instructions in this
manual as you complete the installation process.
Recommendations
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the SmarTrax system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the SmarTrax system to another machine:
•Ensure the machine’s hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the
machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic
hoses, etc.).
•Ensure the machine’s hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and debris is flushed from the hydraulic hoses,
valves, and filters.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the SmarTrax system:
•Use part numbers to identify the parts.
•Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
•Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.
Point of Reference
The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the machine, looking toward the cab.

Installation
WARNING
Hydraulics are under pressure. Care should
always be taken with a system that has been
pressurized.
Before beginning the SmarTrax hydraulic
installation, turn off the machine and relieve
pressure by turning the steering wheel left and
right.
Never work on a hot machine. Always allow it to
cool before performing diagnostics,
maintenance, or routine service.
When disconnecting or purging hydraulic
hoses, be aware that the hydraulic fluid within
the machine’s system may be extremely hot
and under high pressure.
Tampering with hydraulic valves may cause
serious injury or death, and will void the
warranty.
CAUTION
When installing SmarTrax hydraulics or
performingdiagnostics,maintenance,or routine
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 damage the
SmarTrax hydraulic valve.

Hydraulic System Installation
FIGURE 11. Hoses Installed on Flow Switch
6. Install the supplied 24” hydraulic hose on the pressure port of the steering valve.
Note: Two 24” hydraulic hoses were included in the installation kit - one (214-1000-775) for smaller
models and another (214-1000-779) for larger models. Only one hose properly connects to the
pressure port. The other hose will not be used and may be discarded.
7. Connect the other end of the installed hydraulic hose to one of the fittings on the flow switch.
8. Install the supplied 13” hydraulic hose (214-1000-776) on the remaining fitting on the flow switch.
9. Connect the other end of the installed 13” hydraulic hose to the machine’s pressure hose that was
previously disconnected from the steering valve.
Note: For smaller models, connect the other end of the installed 13” hydraulic hose to the machine’s
hose that was disconnected from the back side of the bulkhead.
10. Verify the hydraulic connections are tight.
11. Start the machine’s engine and ensure the hydraulic connections are not leaking and hoses are not rubbing
on or interfering with other moving parts.
12. Turn the wheels fully from side to side several times to purge air from the hydraulic system.
WARNING
Do not use hands to check for leaks in the
hydraulic system. Hydraulic fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury or death.
