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.
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.
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 in the recommended location. Refer to the following table for the machine-specific antenna mounting location.
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.
