CHAPTER
S AFETY
Hydraulic
Safety
Precautions
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 manufacturer’s approved maintenance instructions. Raven
Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn
when working on the hydraulic system.
Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic
filtration system will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage
the hydraulic valves.
Electrical Safety
Precautions
Do not reverse the power leads. Doing so will cause severe damage to the
equipment. 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.
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.

M OUNTING THE U NIVERSAL B RACKET
AND H YDRAULIC V ALVE
1. Position the hydraulic valve on the universal bracket, over the top of
the proper hole pattern. Secure the valve to the bracket using the
supplied bolts and washers.
2. Mount the smaller counterbalance valve to the bracket. Two mounting
holes and clearance holes/slots will have to be drilled to mount the
valves as shown. The valve can be moved up on the bracket to allow
the fittings to hang over the edge of the valve.

3. Position the bracket on the front of the cab, under the hood.
4. Drill holes to fit the mounting bracket pattern and attach the universal
mounting bracket to the machine using the supplied 3/8” hex bolts.

Valve, Pressure
Switch, and
Needle Valve
1. Connect the pressure switch with the tee fitting to the brake port of the
counterbalance valve.
2. Attach the needle valve to the open port of the tee of the pressure
switch.

Pressure Hose
1. Remove the existing pump to orbital hose and attach it to the ‘P’ port
on the SmarTrax valve. It may be necessary to use the supplied 90
degree 3/4” JIC elbow fittings to ensure the hoses are routed properly.
Excess Flow Hose
1. Connect one end of the excess flow hose (P/N 214-1000-250) to the
fitting EF Port on the SmarTrax Valve.
2. Connect the remaining open end of the excess flow hose to the pressure
port on the steering orbital.
Tank Port Hose
1. Remove the existing tank to orbital hose at the orbital and attach a
supplied 3/4” tee fitting to the orbital.
2. Reconnect the hose to the tee fitting.
3. Attach a tee fitting to the ‘T’ Port on the SmarTrax valve.
4. Connect one end of the tank hose (P/N 214-1000-428) to this tee and
the other end to the remaining open port of the tee on the orbital.
Needle Valve Hose
1. Attach the hose (P/N 214-1000-429) to the needle valve, which is
attached to the counterbalance valve.
In this picture, the ports are labeled:
EF - Pressure In (from EF port on the SmarTrax valve)
R- Right Steer Port
T- Tank Port
L- Left Steer Port

2. Attach the other end of the hose to the tee fitting that is connected to the
‘T’ Port on the SmarTrax valve.
‘CB’ to Right Steer Hose
1. Remove the hose attached to the right steer port of the orbital.
2. Connect the ‘CB’ to the right steer hose (P/N 214-1000-171) to the
open right steer port on the orbital.
3. Connect the other end to the ‘B’ port on the side of the counterbalance
valve with the brake port. You may need to install an elbow fitting on
the counterbalance valve to properly route the new hose.
‘CB’ to Left Steer Hose
1. Remove the hose attached to the left steer port of the orbital.
2. Connect the ‘CB’ to the left steer hose (P/N 214-1000-172) to the open
left steer port on the orbital.
3. Connect the other end to the ‘A’ Port on the side of the counterbalance
valve with the brake port. You may need to install an elbow fitting on
the counterbalance valve to properly route the new hose.
‘B’ Port to Counterbalance Hose
1. Install the supplied 9/16” JIC tee fitting to the port that is opposite the
‘B’ port on the counterbalance valve.
2. Connect the right steer hose that was disconnect from the orbital to one
of the open ports on the tee using a supplied reducer fitting.
3. Connect the 90 degree end of the ‘B’ Port to the counterbalance hose
(P/N 214-1000-429) to the remaining open port on the tee.
4. Connect the remaining open end of the hose to the ‘B’ port on the
SmarTrax Valve using a 90 degree fitting.

Mounting the Yaw Sensor
Yaw Sensor
Installation
Installing the Raven Yaw Sensor is quick and easy. Raven recommends that
you keep the following points in mind while installing the sensor:
• The sensor is not weatherproof. Mount the sensor inside of the machine’s
cab or drivers compartment.
• Mount the sensor to a flat surface parallel to the ground with the Raven
logo facing up. The floor of the cab is generally ideal.
• Once mounted, the sensor should remain fixed in relation to the vehicle.
The sensor should not become loose or rotate due to machine vibration or
movement.
• The sensor should also be mounted in a location where it will not be
kicked or jarred during normal equipment operation.
• The cable does not need to be oriented in any way to the direction of
travel of the vehicle. Mount the sensor to with the cable routed to avoid
tripping hazards or damaging the cable or yaw sensor.

Installation • Mount the Yaw Sensor to the floor inside of the vehicle’s cab using the
double sided tape on the sensor or steel bolts or screws through the
mounting plate. See the Mounting the Yaw Sensor section on the
previous page for mounting location considerations.
• Connect the supplied sensor cable to the Yaw Sensor and to the Yaw
Sensor connector on the SmarTrax Interface cable.
