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.

MOUNTING THE UNIVERSAL BRACKET AND VALVE
Attach the universal mounting bracket on the right side of the machine using the
provided 1/2” hex head bolts. (See pictures below). Drill holes to fit the
mounting bracket pattern in the welded gusset between the right side frame rail
and the cross-member support. The picture on page 6 shows the bracket
mounted to the machine with the valve attached.

Mounting the
Hydraulic Valve
and Pressure
Switch
Position the hydraulic valve on the universal bracket over the top of the proper
hole pattern. Secure the valve to the bracket using the provided metric bolts and
lock washers.
Helpful Hint: It may be necessary to drill additional holes
in the mounting bracket if the valve is not in an accessible
position.
Attach the pressure switch to the PS-port on the valve.

HYDRAULICS
New hoses should be run so they follow the routing of the old hoses. Use the
machines existing rubber-covered rings (shown in picture below) on the
underside of the frame to assist in routing.

Pressure Hose
Remove the existing pump to orbital hose from the machine and connect the
provided pressure hose (P/N 214-1000-133) with the straight adapter end to
the pump. Route the hose along the frame to the P-Port on the Smartrax
valve. Attach the end to the P port on the Raven Smartrax valve using a 90°
fitting if necessary.
Excess Flow Hose
Attach a 90° elbow adapter fitting to the EF port on the Smartrax valve and
connect the straight end of the excess flow hose (P/N 214-1000-136) to the EF
port on the Smartrax valve. Connect the 90° fitting end of the hose to the open
pressure port on the steering orbital.
