Do not operate SmarTrax or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or an illegal substance. • Remain in the operator’s position or a safe working distance away from the booms at all times when SmarTrax is engaged. •...
HYDRAULIC GENERAL • 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 Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as: • Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch) • Pulleys, gears, sprockets • Deflection and backlash of belts and chains • Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets •...

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.
• Ensure the machine’s hydraulic system 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.
KIT CONTENTS This section contains a list of the components that are included in the SmarTrax kit. Before beginning the SmarTrax installation, compare the items in the kit with the components on this list. If you have questions about the kit, contact your Raven dealer.
Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration system will reduce performance and possibly damage the SmarTrax hydraulic valve. P/N 016-5035-001 Rev. A...
INSTALL FITTINGS IN THE SMARTRAX VALVE Before mounting the SmarTrax valve (P/N 334-0003-088) on the machine, install the proper fittings in the valve. This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the figure and table below to install the fittings in the proper ports of the SmarTrax valve.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION FIGURE 11. Pressure Hose Installed on Machine’s Hydraulic Pump 3. Install the straight end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1001-175) on Port P of the load sense priority valve (P/N 334-0003-072). 4. Connect the 90° end of the installed hydraulic hose to the open port of the hydraulic pump. 5.
4. Install one end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1001-177) on the 90° end of the installed tee fitting. 5. Connect the remaining end of the installed hydraulic hose to the fitting installed in Port T of the SmarTrax valve (P/N 334-0003-088).
4. Install one end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1001-176) on the opposite end of the installed tee fitting. 5. Connect the other end of the installed hydraulic hose to the fitting installed in Port A of the SmarTrax valve (P/N 334-0003-088).

12. Install one end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1001-176) on the opposite end of the installed tee fitting. 13. Connect the other end of the installed hydraulic hose to the fitting installed in Port B of the SmarTrax valve (P/N 334-0003-088).
MOUNT THE SMARTRAX NODE FIGURE 1. SmarTrax Node Installed 1. Install the SmarTrax node (P/N 063-0173-228) on the node mounting bracket (P/N 107-0172-055) using three 3/8”-16 zinc flanged lock nuts (P/N 312-4001-109). 2. Place double-sided tape strips (P/N 332-0000-019) on the back of the node mounting bracket.
Tabs When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following points: • Mount the SmarTrax node inside the machine’s cab on a flat, level surface for proper performance and cable connection. • One of the six numbered direction arrows on the node must be oriented in the direction of forward vehicle travel, one arrow pointing straight up, and two of the arrows parallel to the ground.
CAB COMPONENT INSTALLATION 1. Select a suitable location for the foot switch (P/N 063-0172-470) to be installed. NOTE: The foot switch should be installed in a location where the operator has easy access to it and is able to fully press the pedal. 2.

HAPTER FIGURE 5. PVES Connector Installed on SmarTrax Valve 3. Route the 4-pin PVES connector of the valve harness to the SmarTrax valve mounting location. NOTE: Route the cable away from moving parts and heat sources. 4. Connect the PVES connector to the open 4-pin port of the SmarTrax valve.
If the machine does not contain an existing chassis power system (such as AutoBoom, product control, etc.), it is necessary to install the chassis power cable to operate the SmarTrax system. If a CAN system already exists on the machine, refer to Connect SmarTrax to an Existing Chassis Cable (If Applicable) below to connect the power to the SmarTrax system.
