Hydraulic Safety; Electrical Safety - Raven TC1 Installation Manual

CHAPTER 1

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.
• When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.
• Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer
approved maintenance instructions.
• When installing TC1 hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure that
precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants from being introduced into the machine
hydraulic system. Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine hydraulic filtration system will
reduce performance and possibly damage the TC1 valve.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always verify that the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power leads
could cause severe damage to the equipment.
• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.
