STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC If necessary the positive and negative wires, in between the battery and the fuses, can be shortened. Be sure to use cable sockets with the correct size for proper connection.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC The following guidelines have been established for mounting the SC1: Preferably, place the SC1 (Figure 3) next to and to the right of the seat. Use the standard SC1 mounting bracket.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC HYDRAULIC In this chapter a short overview of the hydraulic system that needs te be installed on a tractor will be given. 1.3.1 HYDRAULIC VALVE Figure 4 shows a manifold mounted onto a manifold bracket with four M8 bolts.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.2 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION LOAD SENSE The manifold should be connected between the hoses leading from the steering orbitrol to the steering cylinder(s). To do so, the hoses must be disconnected, preferably on an existing connection between a pipe line and a hose.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC Hint! : In case the wheels of the tractor are steering, when the hydraulics of the tractor are operated; a non-return valve should be mounted in the load sense line from the manifold. The non-...
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.5 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE A pressure relief valve is mounted to the add-on part of the open center manifold (Figure 12). This pressure relief valve must be set to the maximum allowable control pressure of the steering system.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.6 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ON TRACTORS WITH GEAR PUMP AND LOAD SENSE ORBITROL CONNECTION Tractors with a gear-type pump and equipped with an orbitrol with load sense connection fitted with a load sense priority valve.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.7 MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNIT The Hydraulic Drive Unit bracket can be mounted to the manifold. The Hydraulic Drive Unit can then be fitted to the manifold bracket (Figure 14).
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.8 WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR For a correct operation of the Raven system a wheel angle sensor is necessary. In various types of tractors a factory fitted wheel angle sensor is already mounted in the front axle.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.10 MOUNTING THE WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR Figure 16 and Figure 17 show a detailed view of the structure of a wheel angle sensor assembly. Table 1 also lists the components shown in Figure 16.

STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC Hint!: It is often useful to drill bigger holes (slots) in the wheel angle sensor strip for the sensor disc. Allow the nuts to be loose-fit when mounting the strip. The disc then centers itself automatically.
STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION | CRX + SC1 | RAVEN EUROPE GENERIC 1.3.12 HEAVY-DUTY CARRARO FRONT AXLE WITH INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION Tractors with the heaviest type of Carraro front axle with independent suspension must be fitted with a special wheel angle sensor bracket (Figure 32). This type of assembly requires a wheel angle sensor with a much wider range (180°) in connection with the larger...
