Raven RS1™ Guidance and Steering Calibration & Operation Manual

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

• Raven Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn at all times when working on the 

hydraulic system.

• Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment running. Care should always be 

taken when opening a system that has been previously pressurized.

• When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be 

extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.

• Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s 

approved maintenance instructions.

• When installing RS1 hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure that 

precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants 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 RS1 valve.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always verify that the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power leads 

could cause severe damage to the equipment.

• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.
