Installing The
Steering
Control Valve
Hoses
Left Steer Hose
1. Identify the left steer port on the vehicles steering orbital. Hoses may
need to be traced from the hydraulic cylinder to the machine's orbital
for proper identification. Once the left steer port has been identified,
remove the hose from the steering orbital. Install an appropriate tee
fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to the steering orbital. Once the
tee fitting is installed, reattach the original hose. (NOTE: The tee may
be installed at the steering cylinder for easier installation.)
2. Construct a new hose to run from the A-Port on the Raven steering
control valve to the open branch on the installed tee fitting.
3. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to
help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.
Right Steer Hose
1. Identify the right steer port on the vehicles steering orbital. Hoses may
need to be traced from the hydraulic steering cylinder to the machine's
orbital for proper identification. Once the right steer port has been
identified, remove the hose from athe steering orbital. Install an
appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to the steering
orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original hose.
(NOTE: The tee may be installed at the steering cylinder for easier
installation.)
2. Contruct a new hose to run from the B-Port on the Raven steering
control valve to the open branch on the installed tee fitting.
3. Add additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to
help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.
Pressure Hose
1. Identify the pressure port on the vehicles steering orbital. Hose may
need to be traced to the hydraulic pump for poper identification. Once
the port has been identified, remove the hose from the vehicles steering
orbital and install it directly to the P-Port on the Raven steering control
valve.
2. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to
help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.
Tank Hose
1. Identify the tank port on the vehicles steering orbital. Hose may need to
be traced to the hydraulic reservoir for proper identification. Once the
tank port has been identified, remove the hose from the steering orbital
and install an appropriate fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit. Once
the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original hose to the tee.
2. Construct a new hose to run from the T-Port on the Raven steering
control valve to the open branch on the installed tee fitting.
3. An additonal 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to
help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.
Excess Flow Hose
1. Construct a new hose to run from the EF-Port on the Raven sterring
control valve to the pressure port on the vehicles steering orbital.
3. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to
help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.
