Recommendations and Best Practices
l
Avoid routing hoses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g.
dirt, mud, snow, ice, etc.).
Harness Routing
The word “harness” is used to describe any electrical cables and leads, both bundled and
unbundled. Use the following guidelines and recommendations when connecting and
routing harnesses while installing or maintaining this Raven system:
l
Leave protective caps/covers over harness connectors until needed to avoid dirt and
moisture from contaminating electrical circuits.
l
Secure the harness to the frame or solid structural members at least every 12 in [30
cm].
l
Follow existing harness runs already routed on the implement as much as possible.
Proper harness routing should:
l
Secure harnessing and prevent the harness from hanging below the implement.
l
Provide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones
around shafts; universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts,
and chains; moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, etc.
l
Protect harnessing from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs,
fence posts, crop stubble, dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the
implement).
l
Protect harnessing from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances
and normal implement operation.
l
Connectors and splices should not be located at bending points or in harness sec-
tions that move.
l
Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal oper-
ation and prevent pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in artic-
ulation and pivot points. Clamp harnessing securely to force controlled
movement of the harness.
l
Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners,
fastener threads or cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
l
Do not connect, affix, or allow harnessing to come into contact with components with
high vibration forces, hot surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the tem-
perature rating of harness components.
