YEAR: 2012-2017 FIGURE 1. RoGator PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Before installing AutoBoom XRT, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Leave the machine turned off during the installation process. Always follow good safety practices. Carefully read the instructions in this manual as you complete the installation process.
Raven Industries recommends the following before installing or operating the AutoBoom XRT system for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the AutoBoom XRT system to another machine: • Ensure the hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).
INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW The image below shows approximate installation locations for the sensor and nodes. Depending on machine configuration and desired performance some of the sensors and dampers may not be installed. FIGURE 2. Example Component Locations Rotary Sensor and REM and ABM Node (Near Variable Damper Electrical Box)

Sensor mounting locations vary by boom configuration. If an object enters the sensor’s blind range unexpectedly, a false return to the sensor could occur. To ensure optimal operation of the AutoBoom XRT system and to protect the sprayer boom, the sensor should be mounted behind the boom structure (if possible), above the lowest hanging part of the boom.
