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.
This section contains a list of the components that are included in the PowerGlide 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.
AutoBoom hydraulic valve. NOTICE The appearance of the AutoBoom hydraulic valve may vary slightly from the images contained in this manual. However, the fittings, hose connections, and cable connections remain the same.
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.
