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.

cedures.
The wheels may turn on start-up due to air introduced into the hydraulic
system. Steer wheel full left and right with steering wheel.
Set valve timing for a left to right, right to left time of 5-6 seconds.
Use the Controller to pulse valve full left and full right.
Adjust the pressure switch to the most responsive setting.
Note: On this installation, you will experience resistence in the
steering wheel when disengaging the system, however, steering
will return to normal once SmarTrax is disabled.
