Recommendations

Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the SmarTrax system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the SmarTrax system to another machine:
•
Install the GPS antenna on the front center of the machine's cab.
•
Ensure the machine's hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the
machine's hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic
hoses, etc.).
•
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.
•
Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
•
Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.

Point of Reference

The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the machine, looking toward the cab.
