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.

RECOMMENDATIONS

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 machine hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the machine
hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).
• Operate each of the machine boom hydraulic functions (i.e., tilt, fold, center rack, tongue extension, or other
hydraulic valve functions) three times to ensure the machine hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and debris is
flushed from the hydraulic hoses, valves, and filters.
• Upon installation of the AutoBoom XRT system, operate the boom and center rack raise/lower functions
through the machine manual control functions first before operating them via the AutoBoom XRT controller/
field computer to ensure the hydraulic system has been installed correctly and air is released from the system.
Raven Industries recommends the following when installing the AutoBoom XRT system.
• Use part numbers to identify the parts.
• Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
• Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.

TOOLS NEEDED
