STARTUP PROCEDURES
VERIFY THE SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Turn on the machine.
2. Double-check all fitting and hose connections to ensure that:
• Hoses are not rubbing on or interfering with moving parts.
• Hydraulic fluid is not leaking from the system.
3. Turn the wheels fully from side to side repeatedly to remove air from the hydraulic system.
NOTE: During the system installation, whenever the hydraulic system is purged for maintenance, or when
fittings are loosened to disconnected, air is introduced into the lines of the hydraulic system. If air
pockets are present, the wheels may not move consistently when the steering wheel is turned.
4. Continue turning the wheels until they move steadily and smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.
NOTE: If there are issues with the system, turn off the machine and correct them immediately. For additional
assistance, refer to the TC1 Calibration and Operation Manual (P/N 016-4010-005) or contact your
local Raven dealer.
WARNING
When starting the machine for the first time after
installing TC1 be sure that all persons stand clear
in case a hose has not been properly tightened.
WARNING
Do not use hands to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury or death.
