MOUNTING THE UNIVERSAL BRACKET
Position the bracket on the steel support beam beneath the frame under the cab. Drill holes to fit the
mounting bracket pattern and attach the universal mounting bracket to the machine. Figure below
shows the bracket mounted to the machine with the valve and hoses attached. NOTE: The mount-
ing bracket may need to be altered to allow the valve to fit in small spaces. Additional bolts
and nuts may be needed to properly mount the bracket and valve.
MOUNTING THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR
Figures below shows the approximate mounting position of the steering position sensor. Attach the
steering position sensor to the right side steering cylinder using the provided band clamps, screws
and brackets. NOTE: It may be necessary to fabricate a shield so that mud and debris do not
hit the sensor during operation.

MOUNTING THE HYDRAULIC VALVE
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.
MOUNTING THE PRESSURE SWITCH

Pressure Hose
Remove the existing pump to orbital hose from the orbital, and attach it to the “P” port on the steering
assist valve. It may be necessary to use the provided 90-degree 3/4” JIC elbow fittings and extension
hose to ensure the hoses are routed properly.
Excess Flow Hose
Attach a 90-degree elbow adapter fitting to the “EF” port on the steering assist valve and connect one
end of the Excess Flow hose to the fitting. Connect the remaining open end of the Excess Flow hose
to the steering orbital, pressure port, connecting in the same location as the original pressure hose. It
may be necessary to use the provided 90-degree 3/4” JIC elbow fittings to ensure the hoses are
routed properly.
Tank Port Hose
Remove the existing tank to orbital hose at the orbital and attach a provided 3/4” tee fitting to the
orbital. Re-connect the original hose to the tee fitting. Connect one end of the supplied tank hose to
the “T” port on the Raven steering control valve and the other end to the remaining open port to the
tee on the orbital.
Left Steer Hose
Remove the hose attached to the left steer port of the orbital and attach a provided 3/4” tee fitting to
the orbital. Re-connect the hose to the tee fitting. Connect one end of the supplied left steer hose to
the open port on the tee and the other end to the “A” port on the steering assist valve. It may be
necessary to use the provided 90-degree 9/16” JIC elbow fittings on the steering assist valve to
ensure the hoses are routed properly.
After removing the pressure
hose, connect the supplied 90o
elbow. The pressure port hose
connects to EF port on steering
assist valve.

Right Steer Hose
Remove the hose attached to the right steer port of the orbital and attach a provided 3/4” tee fitting to
the orbital. Re-connect the hose to the tee fitting. Connect one end of the supplied right steer hose to
the open port on the tee and the other end to the “B” port on the steering assist valve. It may be
necessary to use the provided 90-degree 9/16” JIC elbow fittings on the steering assisst valve to
ensure the hoses are routed properly.
NOTE: It is important to trace the hoses so that the pressure and tank hoses are not accidentally
swapped for each other. This will cause valve failure. If the Left and Right Steer hoses are swapped,
the machine will steer opposite to the desired direction.

MOUNTING THE HYDRAULIC VALVE
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.
MOUNTING THE COUNTERBALANCE VALVE, PRESSURE SWITCH, and
NEEDLE VALVE
NOTE: A new bracket must be fabricated to attach the counterbalance valve to the machine.
Attach the counterbalance valve to the bracket and secure the bracket to the machine. (Typi-
cal mounting location is below the cab on the right side of the machine.)
Connect the pressure switch with the tee fitting to the Brake port of the counterbalance valve using
the elbow fittings provided. Attach an elbow fitting to the remaining open port of the tee in the pres-
sure switch. Connect the needle valve to that elbow fitting.

assist valve. It may be necessary to use the provided 90-degree 3/4” JIC elbow fittings and extension
hose to ensure the hoses are routed properly.
Excess Flow Hose
Attach a 90-degree elbow adapter fitting to the “EF” port on the steering assist valve and connect one
end of the Excess Flow hose to the fitting. Connect the remaining open end of the Excess Flow hose
to the steering orbital, pressure port, connecting in the same location as the original pressure hose. It
may be necessary to use the provided 90-degree 3/4” JIC elbow fittings to ensure the hoses are
