Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Raven OmniRow system! This system is designed to allow you to
manage variable-rate seeding, automatic on/off planter control, and real-time seed monitoring, eliminating
costly skips, doubles, and over-plants.
This manual applies to various White planters equipped with standard White row units and options.
Preparing for Installation
Before installing OmniRow, park the machine on a level, clean, and dry surface. Leave the machine turned off
for the duration of the installation process.
During the installation process, follow good safety practices. Be sure to carefully read the instructions in this
manual as you complete the installation process.
Recommendations
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices before installing or operating the OmniRow system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the OmniRow system to another machine:
•
Ensure the machine’s hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the
machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic
hoses, etc.).
•
Cycle the planter’s folding operations to ensure that hoses are not rubbing on or interfering with moving
parts and hydraulic fluid is not leaking from the system.
•
If the planter is equipped with row cleaners/coulters, verify travel of row cleaners/coulters do not interfere
with the OmniRow equipment.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the OmniRow system.
•
Use part numbers to identify the parts.
•
Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
•
Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.
