Safety
TAKE NOTE! THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL FOUND THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL IS USED TO CALL YOUR
ATTENTION TO INSTRUCTIONS INVOLVING YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
THIS SYMBOL MEANS
ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Note the use of the signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION with the safety messages. The appropriate
signal word for each has been selected using the following guidelines:
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or se-
rious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE is used to address safety practices not related to personal safety.

Hydraulic Fluid and Equipment Safety
This system uses hydraulic equipment with hydraulic fluid under extremely high pressure.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Keep all hoses and connections in good serviceable condition. Failure to heed may result in serious personal
injury or death. Avoid the hazard by relieving the pressure before disconnecting lines or performing work on
the system.
Make sure hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
DO NOT DELAY!
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings frequently. Loose, broken, and missing hardware can cause equipment to
not perform properly and can result in serious injury or death.
Hydraulic systems can be hot and cause burns. Before working on any system, wait until the fluid has
cooled.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin
or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.
A Word to the Operator
SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU are the key to safety.
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the safety messages in this manual.
This system may be used to apply many different kinds of agricultural liquid products. Read and follow all
label information and instructions related to the handling, storage, and application of the product you are
using.
All electrical harnessing should be checked regularly and should be routed and secured so it will not be
pinched, cut, or stretched.

General Description
You have purchased a SureFire fertilizer system for your equipment. This system will be
controlled by your in-cab display and Raven Rate Control Module (RCM). The RCM will
adjust the speed of the SureFire PumpRight hydraulic pump based on feedback from the
flowmeter and vehicle speed. The system is capable of using optional section valves to
minimize overlap.
The RCM is capable of controlling up to 5 products depending on the exact situation. So, the same RCM that
controls this PumpRight system could control additional liquid, dry or anhydrous ammonia products on your
equipment.
You will need a SureFire RCM adapter harness to connect the RCM to the product harness(es). Setup
instructions will be furnished with the adapter harness so all the products controlled with a single RCM
controller will work properly.
You will use the Virtual Terminal (VT) or Universal Terminal (UT) software on your display to view the RCM
on your screen.
To do Section Control, presor mapping you will need a Task Controller unlock for your display.

Introduction
Basic Installation Steps
1. Mount the Raven RCM and connect it to the Implement ISOBUS.
2. Open the packages and familiarize yourself with the components. See the System Overview Example on
the following page to see the big picture of how SureFire Fertilizer Systems are installed. Refer to manual
sections B & D for component information.
3. Mount the PumpRight pump and make hydraulic connections. See section E for hydraulic plumbing
information.
4. Plumb the tank to the PumpRight inlet. See section E for details.
5. Install the plumbing kit including section valves, flow indicator columns / manifolds, check valves,
plumbing to each row unit delivery point. See section B for information on these components.
6. Attach the flowmeter outlet to section valve, manifold inlet, or LiquiShift inlet. Attach section valve outlets
to flow indicator inlets.
7. Attach harnesses as shown in Section D.
8. Set up RCM for SureFire fertilizer system as shown in Section F or in the setup instructions sent with the
RCM adapter harness.
9. Fill system with water, conduct initial operation and tests per Section F or in the QuickStart instructions.
10. Winterize system with RV Antifreeze if freezing temperatures are expected.
11. Do pre-season service each year as described at end of manual.

Hose is used from the flowmeter outlet to section
valves. If not using section valves, flowmeter is
plumbed directly to flow indicators or a simple tee
is used to divide flow to multiple flow indicator
manifolds.

Earlier model flowmeters (meters with white labels with black text) have different calibration numbers. See the
documentation for those meters to find the calibration numbers.
-Before doing any arc welding on the implement, unplug the cable to the flowmeter, or damage to the
flowmeter may result.
-Do not power wash the flowmeter. High pressure spray directed at the back edge of the face plate or at
the wire connector may allow water into the flowmeter electronics.

Electromagnetic flowmeters are superior to traditional turbine flowmeters in two basic ways. First, they
have no moving parts. There are no wear items or potential for contaminants to jam a spinning turbine.
Second, electromagnetic flowmeters detect the flow by electrically measuring the velocity of the liquid,
which makes them independent of viscosity or density of the fluid measured. They are extremely accurate
using the standard calibration number. SureFire still recommends you perform a catch test to verify the
system is properly installed and configured.
