  • Page 17: Installation

    See the Mount the Sidekick Pro™ ICD Pump and Chemical Tank section on page 21. 4. Plumb the Sidekick Pro™ ICD pump and injection lines into the main carrier line at point of injection. See the Sidekick Pro™ ICD Injection System Plumbing section on page 24.

  • Page 18: Tank Agitator Installation

    BEST PRACTICES • The Raven Sidekick Pro™ ICD injection system pumps chemical into the main carrier line at the point of injection. This point must be on the pressure side of the carrier product pump and should be as close to the boom section valves as possible.
  • Page 19 INSTALLATION To set up the point of injection: 1. Select the point of injection. 2. Install a carrier check valve or a mixer assembly in the main product line to prevent back flow to the carrier reservoir. Refer to Table 2 on page 18 for assistance with proper sizing of the carrier check valve or see Figure 4 on page 19 for details on available mixer assemblies.

  • Page 23: Mount The Sidekick Pro™ Icd Pump And Chemical Tank

    MOUNT THE SIDEKICK PRO™ ICD PUMP AND CHEMICAL TANK Installation and mounting of the Sidekick Pro™ ICD injection pump and injection module, or chemical tank, will vary between implements. Use the following sections to help select an appropriate mounting location on the implement.

  • Page 24: Mount The Chemical Tank

    Increase the tubing diameter • Mount the Sidekick Pro™ ICD pump so that the line between the injection pump and chemical supply tank is near level with a slight incline to help relieve air bubbles. The line connected to the pump inlet must not raise chemical more than 2 ft.

  • Page 25: Mount The Sidekick Pro Icd Pump

    • Mount the Sidekick Pro™ ICD pump as close as possible to the selected point of injection. • Mount the Sidekick Pro™ ICD pump so that the outlet port is pointing up. The pump will not meter product application correctly if the pump is mounted in any other orientation.

  • Page 26: Sidekick Pro™ Icd Injection System Plumbing

    Connect the pump outlet to the injection check valve at the point of injection. Use the following hose sizes depending upon the capacity of the injection pump used with the system.

  • Page 30: Isobus And Power Connections

    ISOBUS AND POWER CONNECTIONS The Sidekick Pro™ ICD connects to an ISOBUS system via an integrated motor control ECU. The injection pump requires a connection to both clean logic power and high current power either at the battery or a power bus bar.

  • Page 31: Best Practices

    5. Use dedicated bus bars to connect the console and all nodes to the same source for both power and ground. 6. Provide relays to switch power on and off to avoid draining the battery. Raven recommends connecting the console to a clean power source (at relay) and using the console ‘orange’ wire to activate the relay. This makes the console the master power switch and allows engine shutdown without turning off the console.

  • Page 32: Verifying Installation Of The Sidekick Pro™ Icd

    5. Check for any leaks at each plumbing connection before applying chemicals with the injection system. It is also recommended to check the system periodically and replace worn or damaged connections, valves, or hoses. SideKick Pro™ ICD 1-40 oz./min. and 5-200 oz./min.
