Ensure SmarTrax is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on SmarTrax or the machine. WARNING • When starting the machine for the first time after installing SmarTrax, be sure that all persons stand clear in case a hose has not been properly tightened. •...
CAUTION 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.
CHAPTER C h a p t e r 2 Congratulations on your purchase of the SmarTrax system! This system is designed to provide cutting-edge, hands-free steering of the machine via Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. This manual applies to the following machines:...
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.
WARNING Hydraulics are under pressure. Care should always be taken with a system that has been pressurized. Before beginning the SmarTrax hydraulic installation, turn off the machine and relieve pressure by turning the steering wheel left and right. Never work on a hot machine. Always allow it to cool before performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service.

Install the set screws into the rotary sensor arm bracket (P/N 116-0159-674). Using care not to move the sensor shaft, slide the rotary sensor arm onto the shaft. Secure the rotary sensor arm to the shaft using set screws. Versatile SX275 SmarTrax™ Installation Manual...
SmarTrax Node Installed FIGURE 1. Mount the SmarTrax node (P/N 063-0173-228) to the node mounting bracket (P/N 107-0171-909) using two 3/8”-18 x 1” hex bolts (P/N 311-0054-105) and two 3/8”-16 nylon insert lock nuts (P/N 312-4000-061). Roll back the floor mat to locate the threaded weld tab on the cab floor to the right of the operator’s seat.
Mounting Tabs When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following: • 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 Install the Foot Switch Foot Switch Installed FIGURE 3. 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.
Install the terminator on the remaining 4-pin connection on the node harness. Install the Valve Harness Route the valve harness cable outside and under the cab to the SmarTrax valve (P/N 063-0131-129). Connect the PSI connector to the pressure transducer (P/N 422-0000-086) installed in Port PS of the SmarTrax valve.

Connect the PORT 1B connector to Port 1B of the SmarTrax valve. Connect the LEFT INNER connector to the bottom coil of the stack on the SmarTrax valve. Connect the RIGHT OUTER connector to the top coil of the stack on the SmarTrax valve.
Turn the machine’s wheels fully from side to side repeatedly to remove air from the hydraulic system. Note: During the SmarTrax system installation, whenever the hydraulic system is purged for maintenance, or when fittings are loosened or disconnected, air is introduced into the lines of the hydraulic system.
