CHAPTER1 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Read this manual and the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller
carefully before installing the AutoBoom™ 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 AutoBoom 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 AutoBoom, observe the following safety measures:
• Be alert and aware of surroundings.
• Do not operate AutoBoom 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 AutoBoom is engaged.
• Disable AutoBoom when exiting from the operator’s seat and machine.
• Do not drive the machine with AutoBoom enabled on any public road.
• Determine and remain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for disabling
AutoBoom when the safe working distance has diminished.
• Ensure AutoBoom is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on AutoBoom or the machine.
• When starting the machine for the first time after installing AutoBoom, be sure that all persons stand clear, in
case a hose has not been properly tightened.
• The machine must remain stationary and switched off, with the booms unfolded and supported, during
installation or maintenance.

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. Take care when opening a
system that has been previously pressurized.
• When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.
• Performed work on the hydraulic system in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s approved
maintenance instructions.
• When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure that
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 reduce performance and possibly damage the AutoBoom hydraulic valve.
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.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Before installing AutoBoom, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Leave the machine
turned off for the duration of the installation process.
During the installation process, follow good safety practices. Be sure to carefully read the instructions in this
manual as you complete the installation process.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices before installing or operating the AutoBoom system for
the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the AutoBoom system to another machine:
• 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.).
• Operate each of the machine’s boom hydraulic functions (i.e., tilt, fold, center rack, tongue extension, or other
hydraulic valve functions) three times to ensure the machine’s hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and debris is
flushed from the hydraulic hoses, valves, and filters.
• Upon installation of the AutoBoom system, operate the boom and center rack raise/lower functions through
the machine’s manual control functions first before operating them via the AutoBoom controller/field
computer to ensure the hydraulic system has been installed correctly and air is released from the system.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the AutoBoom 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.
Tools Needed
The following tools are recommended for installation of the AutoBoom system:
• SAE standard-sized wrenches
• Cable ties
•Set of tools
POINT OF REFERENCE
The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the machine, looking toward the cab.
