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.
FIGURE 1. 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. During the installation process, follow good safety practices. Be sure to carefully read the instructions in this manual as you complete the installation process.
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.

Route the cable from the base-end of the WAS along the left side of the machine’s frame, routing it so that the cable is not near moving parts or heat sources. Secure with plastic cable ties as necessary. CLAAS Lexion 700 Series - Steering Ready Combine SmarTrax™ Installation Manual...
Clean the floor mat. Install the SmarTrax node (P/N 063-0173-228) on the node mounting bracket (P/N 107-0172-055) using three 3/8”-16 lock nuts (P’/N 312-4001-109). Apply 5 strips of double-sided tape (P/N 332-0000-019) to the back of the node mounting bracket.
Mounting Tabs When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following points: • 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 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. Using the holes in the foot switch as a template, drill holes in the floor of the cab.
Connect the STEERING WHEEL connection from the node harness to the steering wheel sensor connection. Route the cable out the front of the steering column. Reassemble the steering column. CLAAS Lexion 700 Series - Steering Ready Combine SmarTrax™ Installation Manual...
Cab Component Installation Install the Valve Harness Start with the valve harness (P/N 115-4001-236) outside the cab on the left side. Access Area for Routing Valve Harness FIGURE 7. Route the 12-pin connector behind the cab to the right side of the machine. Cab Access Panel FIGURE 8.

Locate the hydraulic steering cylinder lines at the rear axle. Trace the steering lines forward to the point of entrance into the machine’s hydraulic valve. Note: There will be hydraulic tee fittings between the valve and the axle. CLAAS Lexion 700 Series - Steering Ready Combine SmarTrax™ Installation Manual...

Machine’s Hydraulic Valve FIGURE 11. Disconnect the cable connectors from the steering solenoids on the machine’s hydraulic valve. Note: The machine’s steering line solenoid connectors are not used in the SmarTrax system. Machine’s Solenoid Connections FIGURE 12. Left Solenoid Right Solenoid Route the LEFT and RIGHT cable connectors of the valve harness toward the machine’s hydraulic valve.
Page 26
The LEFT and RIGHT solenoid connectors are interchangeable. If the connectors are accidentally switched, the SmarTrax system will identify and correct the error during system calibration. Route and connect the WAS cable connector to the WAS cable connector installed on the rear axle.
If the machine does not contain an existing chassis power system (such as SmartYield™ Pro), 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 SmartYield™ Pro (If Applicable) below to connect power to the SmarTrax system.
