Preparing for Installation
Before installing the SmarTrax system, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Turn off the
machine and leave it turned off for the duration of the installation process. Bleed pressure from the hydraulic
system by loosening the hydraulic fittings slowly, where applicable.
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 when installing or operating the SmarTrax system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the SmarTrax 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.).
•
Ensure the machine’s hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and debris is flushed from the hydraulic hoses,
valves, and filters.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the SmarTrax 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.
