  • Page 5: Important Information

    • Do not operate this Raven system or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or an illegal substance. • Be alert and aware of surroundings and remain in the operator seat at all times when operating this Raven system.

  • Page 6: Hydraulic Safety

    • Do not connect the power leads to the battery until all system components are mounted and all electrical connections are completed. • Always start the machine before initializing this Raven system to prevent power surges or peak voltage. • To avoid tripping and entanglement hazards, route cables and harnesses away from walkways, steps, grab bars, and other areas used by the operator or service personnel when operating or servicing the equipment.

  • Page 7: Recommendations And Best Practices

    The word “hose” is used to describe any flexible, fluid carrying components. Use the following guidelines and recommendations when connecting and routing hoses while installing or maintaining this Raven system: • Leave protective caps/covers over hose ends until connecting the end into the hydraulic system to help prevent contaminants from entering the system.
  • Page 8 CHAPTER 1 • Protect harnessing from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and normal implement operation. • Connectors and splices should not be located at bending points or in harness sections that move. • Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal operation and prevent pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points.

  • Page 9: Introduction

    C H A P T E R 2 When coupled with a Raven field computer and a GPS solution of your choice, SC1/TC1™ is designed to offer hands-free steering of agricultural equipment including sprayers, spreaders, and tractors. When coupled with an implement steering system, SC1/TC1 is capable of keeping both your tractor and a towed implement on track.
