CHAPTER1 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE ROUTING
The word “harness” is used to mean all electrical leads and cables, bundled and unbundled. When installing
harness, secure it at least every 30 cm (12in) to the frame. Follow existing harness as much as possible and use
these guidelines:
Harness should not contact or be attached to:
• Lines and hoses with high vibration forces or pressure spikes
• Lines and hoses carrying hot fluids beyond harness component specifications
Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps
• Wire exiting conduit without protection, either ends or side of conduit
• Hose and tube fittings
Routing should not allow harnesses to:
• Hang below the unit
• Have the potential to become damaged due to exposure to the exterior environment. (i.e. tree limbs, debris,
attachments)
• Be placed in areas of or in contact with machine components which develop temperatures higher than the
temperature rating of harness components
• Wiring should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond harness component
specifications
Harnessing should not have sharp bends
Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:
• Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch)
• Pulleys, gears, sprockets
• Deflection and backlash of belts and chains
• Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets
• Changes of position in steering and suspension systems
• Moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, attachments
• Ground engaging components
For harness sections that move during machine operation:
• Allow sufficient length for free movement without interference to prevent: pulling, pinching, catching or
rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points
• Clamp harnesses securely to force controlled movement to occur in the desired harness section
• Avoid sharp twisting or flexing of harnesses in short distances
• Connectors and splices should not be located in harness sections that move

P/N 016-5032-045 Rev. A 3
Important Safety Information:
Protect harnesses from:
• Foreign objects such as rocks that may fall or be thrown by the unit
• Buildup of dirt, mud, snow, ice, submersion in water and oil
• Tree limbs, brush and debris
• Damage where service personnel or operators might step or use as a grab bar
• Damage when passing through metal structures
IMPORTANT:Avoid directly spraying electrical components and connections with high pressure water. High pressure water
sprays can penetrate seals and cause electrical components to corrode or otherwise become damaged.
When performing maintenance:
•Inspect all electrical components and connections for damage or corrosion. Repair or replace
components, connections, or cable as necessary.
•Ensure connections are clean, dry, and not damaged. Repair or replace components, connections,
or cable as necessary.
•Clean components or connections using low pressure water, pressurized air, or an aerosol electrical
component cleaning agent.
•Remove visible surface water from components, connections, or seals using pressurized air or an
aerosol electrical component cleaning agent. allow components to dry completely before
reconnecting cables.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOSE ROUTING
The word “hose” is used to mean all flexible fluid carrying components. Follow existing hoses as much as possible
and use these guidelines:
Hoses should not contact or be attached to:
• Components with high vibration forces
• Components carrying hot fluids beyond component specifications
Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps
Routing should not allow hoses to:
•Hang below the unit
• Have the potential to become damaged due to exposure to the exterior environment. (i.e. tree limbs, debris,
attachments)
• Be placed in areas of or in contact with machine components which develop temperatures higher than the
temperature rating of hose components
• Hoses should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond hose component
specifications
Hoses should not have sharp bends
Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:

• Install the GPS antenna in the recommended location. Refer to the following table for the machine-specific
antenna mounting location.
• 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.
