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.
This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the figure and table below to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the SmarTrax valve. Fittings Installed in the SmarTrax Valve FIGURE 1.

If the machine does not contain an existing chassis power system (such as AutoBoom, product control, etc.), it is necessary to install the chassis power cable to operate the SmarTrax system. If a CAN system already exists on the machine, refer to Connect SmarTrax to an Existing Chassis Cable (If Applicable) below to connect power to the SmarTrax system.
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.
Raven console. Note: If there are issues with the SmarTrax system, turn off the machine and correct them immediately. For additional assistance, refer to the SmarTrax and SmartSteer Calibration & Operation Manual (P/N 016-0171-277) or contact your local Raven dealer.
