Raven dealer for support. • Follow all safety labels affixed to the AutoBoom system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good condition and replace any missing or damaged labels. To obtain replacements for missing or damaged safety labels, contact your local Raven dealer.
Chapter 1 WARNING • When starting the machine for the first time after installing AutoBoom, be sure that all persons stand clear, in case a hose has not been properly tightened. • The machine must remain stationary and switched off, with the booms unfolded and supported while installation or maintenance is conducted.
C h a p t e r 2 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Raven AutoBoom system! This system is designed to provide automated boom height adjustment for agricultural equipment. This manual applies to the following machines. For future reference, write your serial number in the space below.
Set of tools Preparing for Installation Before installing AutoBoom, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Leave the machine 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.
PowerGlide Plus Kit Contents This section contains a list of the components that are included in the PowerGlide Plus AutoBoom kit. Before beginning the AutoBoom installation, compare the items in the AutoBoom kit with the components on this list. If you have questions about the kit, contact your Raven dealer.
Remove the Orifice Fittings Before populating the hydraulic fittings on the AutoBoom valve, it is necessary to remove orifice fittings from the valve in the PowerGlide Plus system. Failure to remove these fittings from the valve will restrict the down speed of the booms when the system is enabled.

Install Fittings on the AutoBoom Valve Before mounting the AutoBoom valve on the machine, install the proper fittings on the valve. This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the following table to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the AutoBoom valve.

Install the straight end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1000-389) on the 90° end of the installed tee fitting. Connect the 90° end of the installed hydraulic hose to the installed fitting in the Left T Port of the AutoBoom valve.
Install the male end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1000-390) on the end of the tee fitting from which the accumulator was removed. Connect the other end of the installed hydraulic hose to the installed fittings in Port LC of the AutoBoom valve.
PowerGlide Plus Install the Gauge Wheels Gauge Wheel Mounting Location Wheel mounting locations may be influenced by the boom configuration. Determine the appropriate location for mounting the wheels on the boom, ensuring the wheels will not interfere with or be damaged while folding or unfolding the booms.
AutoBoom Node Installed FIGURE 12. Mount the AutoBoom node (P/N 016-0130-010) inside the node mounting enclosure (if available) or on the AutoBoom valve mounting plate (P/N 107-0171-802) using three 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” zinc hex bolts (P/N 311- 0054-106) and three 3/8”-16 zinc flanged lock nuts (P/N 312-1001-164).
Install the weatherpack boom sense adapter cables (P/N 115-0230-558) between the machine's cylinder up coils and the connectors. Connect the Cable Up connectors on the AutoBoom harness to the installed boom sense adapter cables. Note: The system will now disengage when Up is pressed on the machine’s controller. The system must be engaged via the AutoBoom controller or field computer screen.
Route the controller cable (P/N 115-0230-007) into the right side of the machine’s cab. Locate the two controller connectors and connect them to the AutoBoom controller. Note: The AutoBoom controller should be mounted in the machine’s cab so that the operator has easy access to it. Connect the Field Computer (If Applicable) Refer to the Installation&...
