SAFETY
Important: Hydraulics are 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
was previously pressurized.
When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or when purging is required, be aware
that the hydraulic oil within the machine system 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 manufacturerer’s
approved maintenance instructions. Raven Industries recommends that appropri-
ate protective equipment be worn when working on the hydraulic system. Ob-
jects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration system
will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the hydraulic valves.
Do not reverse the power leads. Doing so will cause severe damage to the
equipement. Always check to make sure that the power leads are connected to
the right polarity as marked. Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be
connected.

HYDRAULICS
Left Steer Hose
1. Identify the left steer port on the steering orbital. Hoses may need to be
traced to the hydraulic cylinders for proper identification. Once the port
has been identified, remove the hose from the steering orbital and install
on the appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to the
steering orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original
hose.
2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-496) to the A-Port on the Raven steering
control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee
fitting.
Right Steer Hose
1. Identify the right steer port on the steering orbital. Hoses may need to be
traced to the hydraulic cylinders for proper identification. Once the port
has been identified, remove the hose from the steering orbital and install
an appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to the steering
orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original hose.
2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-496) to the B-Port on the Raven steering
control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee
fitting.
