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.

INSTALL FITTINGS ON THE AUTOBOOM VALVE
Before mounting the AutoBoom valve on the machine, install the proper fittings on the valve. This prepares the
valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the following table
to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the AutoBoom valve.
