12 Fast 9600 - 80’-120’ Booms AutoBoom Installation Manual
INSTALL THE POWERGLIDE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
CONVERT THE SPRAYER’S HYDRAULIC VALVE TO OPEN CENTER (IF APPLICABLE)
By factory default, the machine’s main hydraulic valve is configured as a “closed center” hydraulic system. In order
for AutoBoom to function properly and to prevent the hydraulic system from overheating, Raven recommends
converting the machine’s hydraulic system to an “open center” system.
NOTE: Contact your Fast dealer to obtain the open center conversion kit.
WARNING
The machine must remain stationary and
switched off, with the booms unfolded and
supported, during installation or maintenance.
CAUTION
When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or
performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine
service, ensure precautions are taken to prevent
any foreign material 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.
NOTICE
The appearance of the AutoBoom hydraulic valve
may vary slightly from the images contained in
this manual. However, the fittings, hose
connections, and cable connections remain the
same.
