AutoBoom™ system. • Follow all safety information presented within this manual. • If you require assistance with any portion of the installation or service of your Raven equipment, contact your local Raven dealer for support. • Follow all safety labels affixed to the AutoBoom system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good condition and replace any missing or damaged labels.
HAPTER 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION • Deflection and backlash of belts and chains • Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets • Changes of position in steering and suspension systems • Moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, attachments • Ground engaging components For harness sections that move during machine operation: •...

C H A P T E R 2 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Raven AutoBoom system! This system is designed to provide automated boom height adjustment for agricultural equipment. This manual applies to the following machines. For future reference, write your serial number in the space below.
HAPTER RECOMMENDATIONS Raven Industries recommends the following best practices before installing or operating the AutoBoom system for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the AutoBoom 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.).
NOTE: In addition to the following kit components, an axle kit is required for the operation of the PowerGlide AutoBoom system. For available kits and ordering information, contact your local Raven dealer. TABLE 1. PowerGlide Installation Kit (P/N 117-0230-096) Picture...

By factory default, the machine’s main hydraulic valve is configured as a “closed center” hydraulic system. In order for AutoBoom to function properly and to prevent the hydraulic system from overheating, Raven recommends converting the machine’s hydraulic system to an “open center” system.
POWERGLIDE FIGURE 1. Converted Hydraulic Valve - Closed Center to Open Center INSTALL FITTINGS ON THE AUTOBOOM VALVE Before mounting the AutoBoom valve on the machine, install the proper fittings on the valve. This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the following table to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the AutoBoom valve.
HAPTER MOUNT THE AUTOBOOM VALVE FIGURE 3. AutoBoom Valve Mounting Location 1. Verify that the existing holes in the machine’s center rack (to the left of the machine’s hydraulic valve) align with the mounting holes in the AutoBoom valve. If they do not, drill two 5/16” holes in the mounting location the same distance apart as the holes in the AutoBoom valve.
