Chapter 1
Machine Safety Systems
Use all provided safety systems on the machine when operating the machine with the
l
Raven system.
Seat belts and restraints must be used when an operator is in the cab.
l
Do not disable any machine-provided safety systems, including but not limited to aud-
l
ible alarms, alarm lights, etc.
Touch Screen
Only touch the touch-screen with your finger or by using a special touch-screen stylus
l
or pen. Operating the touch-screen with sharp objects may cause permanent damage
to the screen.
Only clean the screen using a damp cloth. Never use caustic or other aggressive sub-
l
stances.
Recommendations and Best Practices
Point of Reference
Instructions provided generally assume you are standing behind the machine facing toward
the cab. More specific orientation may be provided as necessary to complete procedures.
Preparing for Install
Ensure there are no issues with the machine hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty
l
hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).
Verify that the machine hydraulic system is using fresh oil and that the filters have been
l
recently changed.
Ensure there are no issues with the steering system (e.g., worn bushings, faulty tie rod
l
ends, improperly adjusted steering components, etc.)
Aerials and Signal Interference
Due to the relatively low broadcast power from satellites, all GNSS receivers and aerials tend
to be susceptible to sources of signal noise and interference as compared to terrestrial
signals (i.e. radio or cellular).
