Electrical Safety - Raven RS1 Installation Manual

The implement or machine must remain stationary and switched off with booms or
l
implement sections unfolded and supported during installation or maintenance.
Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the
l
machine manufacturer's approved maintenance instructions.
Before installing hydraulic components, ensure there are no issues with the machine
l
hydraulic system (e.g. pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the
hydraulic lines, etc.).
Take precautions to prevent foreign material or contaminants from being introduced
l
into the implement hydraulic system. Contaminants that are able to bypass the
hydraulic filtration system will reduce performance and may damage hydraulic com-
ponents.
Verify that the hydraulic system is using fresh oil and the filters have been
l
changed.
Stand clear of the implement when starting the system for the first time after installing
l
or servicing hydraulic components in case a hose has not been properly connected or
tightened.

Electrical Safety

Always verify that power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Revers-
l
ing the power leads could cause severe damage to the Raven system or other com-
ponents.
To prevent personal injury or fire, replace defective or blown fuses with only fuses of
l
the same type and amperage.
Do not connect the system power cable to the vehicle ignition or battery until all sys-
l
tem components are mounted and all electrical connections are completed.
Always start the machine before initializing this Raven system to prevent power surges
l
or peak voltage.
To avoid tripping and entanglement hazards, route cables and harnesses away from
l
walkways, steps, grab bars, and other areas used by the operator or service personnel
when operating or servicing the equipment.
