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.

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:
•Install the GPS antenna in the recommended location. Refer to the following table for the machine-specific
antenna mounting location.
Note: If your machine is not listed, install the antenna on the front-center of the cab.
Note: The units in the table below are measured in inches. To convert the values to centimeters, multiply
the listed value by 2.54.
Note: The values in the table below must be converted into feet or meters before being entered into the
field computer.
○To convert the values to feet, divide the listed value by 12.
○To convert the values to meters, multiply the listed value by 0.0254.
•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 system 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.
