Convert The Sprayer's Hydraulic Valve To Open Center (If Applicable); Remove The Orifice Fittings - Raven AutoBoom Installation Manual

Chapter 3
Convert the Sprayer's Hydraulic Valve to Open Center (If
Applicable)
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.
Note:
Contact your Bestway dealer to obtain the open center conversion kit.

Remove the Orifice Fittings

Before populating the hydraulic fittings on the AutoBoom valve, it is necessary to remove orifice fittings from
the valve in the PowerGlide Plus system. Failure to remove these fittings from the valve will restrict the down
speed of the booms when the system is enabled.
