Introduction
Recommendations and Best Practices
Raven Industries recommends performing the following steps to ensure the machine will function properly with
the AutoBoom system before installing, activating, or operating any AutoBoom components and at the
beginning of each season:
•
Ensure that the hydraulic filters on the implement have been changed recently and that there are no issues
with the function of the factory hydraulic system (e.g. pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal
deposits in the hydraulic system, etc.).
•
Operate each of the following boom hydraulic functions (e.g. tilt, fold, center rack, tongue extension, etc.) at
least three times to ensure the stack valve on the machine has been supplied fresh with oil and any debris
has been flushed through the system hoses, valves, and filters.
•
After installation of the AutoBoom system is complete, operate the boom and center rack raise/lower
functions through the manual controls first before enabling AutoBoom to control these functions
automatically to ensure that the hydraulic system is connected correctly and air is released from the
system.
WARNING
Carefully read and follow all safety
requirements and precautions contained in this
manual and the machine-specific Installation
Manual. Failure to follow safety instructions
may lead to equipment damage, personal
injury, or death.
