Information
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 components. Be sure to keep safety labels in 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 from the operator’s seat and machine.
•Do not drive the machine with SmarTrax enabled on any public thorough-fare or main 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.
Please review the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller.
NOTICE

•This machine must remain stationary and switched off while installation or maintenance is conducted.
•Before starting the hydraulic installation, be sure to bleed pressure from the hydraulic system.
•Hydraulic fluid may be hot or under high pressure. When starting the machine for the first time after
installing the SmarTrax system, be sure that all persons stand clear of the machine in case a hose or fitting
has not been completely tightened.
•Always wear appropriate protective equipment when working on hydraulics.
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 first opening a system that has previously been pressurized.
•When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic oil 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.
•When installing SmarTrax hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure
precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants from being introduced in the
machine's hydraulic system. Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration
system will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the SmarTrax hydraulic valves.
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.

Mount the SmarTrax Hydraulic Valve
1. Mount the valve mounting bracket (107-0171-908) to the machine using the provided bolts (P/N 311-0058-
101), washers (P/N 313-2300-017), lock washers (P/N 313-1000-028), and nuts (P/N 312-1001-166).
The hydraulic valve mounting bracket mounts to the vehicle frame cross-member below the cab on the left side
of the machine.
FIGURE 2. SmarTrax Valve Mounting Location
Note: Some machines may offer pre-drilled holes in the frame cross-member for mounting the SmarTrax
Valve Mounting Bracket. If pre-drilled holes are not available for the mounting bracket, holes will
need to be drilled in the cross-member in this location.
2. Mount the SmarTrax hydraulic valve (P/N 063-0131-129) to the mounting bracket using the supplied 5/16”
bolts (P/N 311-0052-104) and lock washers (P/N 311-1000-019).

WARNING
Hydraulics are under pressure. Never attempt
to open or work on a hydraulic system with the
equipment running. Care should always be
taken when working on a system that has
previously been pressurized. When
disconnecting or purging hydraulic connections,
be aware that hydraulic oil within the system
may be extremely hot and under high pressure.
WARNING
Tampering with hydraulic valves may cause
serious injuries or death and will void warranty
CAUTION
Ensure 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
adversely reduce performance and possibly
damage the SmarTrax hydraulic valves.
CAUTION
Before beginning the SmarTrax hydraulic
installation procedure, turn off the machine and
relieve hydraulic pressure by turning the wheel
left and right.

Installing Hydraulic Hoses
1. Open the engine bay cover and remove the guards or plates in front of the cab which may hinder access to
the steering orbitrol motor.
FIGURE 1. Steering Orbitrol Motor Location
2. Label the existing hoses and corresponding ports on the steering orbitrol motor. It may be necessary to
trace the lines to the steering cylinders, hydraulic pump and tank to determine labeling of each hose and
port.
Note: Refer to the label on the orbitrol motor to ensure each hose is labeled properly.
NOTICE
The appearance of the SmarTrax hydraulic
valve may vary slightly from the images
contained in this manual. However, the fittings,
hose connections, and cable connections
remain the same.

5. Reroute the existing load sense hose to the SmarTrax valve and connect it to the ‘LSPV’ port.
Note: The supplied 45° elbow and 90° elbow fittings (P/N 333-0012-027 or 333-0012-042) may be used
to simplify connection to the SmarTrax valve and help with hose routing. Use these fittings to help
route hoses away from wear areas or snagging during normal equipment operation.
6. Connect the supplied hose (P/N 214-1000-665) to the ‘LS Steer’ port on the SmarTrax valve and route this
hose to the open load sense port on the steering orbitrol.
FIGURE 4. SmarTrax Hydraulic Valve
7. Once these hoses are connected, double check to make sure that all hydraulic hose and fitting connections
are tight.
Pressure and Tank, Left and Right Hoses
1. Connect a supplied tee fitting (P/N 333-0012-028) to each of the ports on the steering orbitrol.
2. Reconnect the existing hydraulic hoses to the installed tee fittings. Be sure to reconnect the hoses to the
correct ports as previously labeled.

SmarTrax hydraulic block.
FIGURE 6. Example of Tee and Elbow Fittings on Steering Orbitrol
Note: Before routing, you may want to label each hose to help identify the SmarTrax block connections
after the hoses have been routed.
5. Connect the supplied hose routed from the steering orbitrol to the corresponding port on the SmarTrax
valve block. See the following table for hose and port connections.
Note: The supplied 45° elbow and 90° elbow fittings (P/N 333-0012-027 or 333-0012-042) may be used
to simplify connection to the SmarTrax valve and help with hose routing. Use these fittings to help
route hoses away from wear areas or snagging during normal equipment operation.
