Hydraulic Safety; Electrical Safety - Raven AutoBoom Installation Manual

Chapter 1
•
When starting the machine for the first time after installing AutoBoom, be sure that all persons stand clear,
in case a hose has not been properly tightened.
•
The machine must remain stationary and switched off, with the booms unfolded and supported while
installation or maintenance is conducted.

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 AutoBoom 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 adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the AutoBoom hydraulic valves.

Electrical Safety

•
Always verify that the power leads are connect 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.
