SAFETY

Important: Hydraulics are under pressure. Never attempt to

open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment running.

Care should always be taken when first opening a system that

was previously pressurized.

When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or when purging is required, be aware

that the hydraulic oil within the machine system may be extremely hot and under

high pressure. Caution must be exercised. Any work carried out on the hydraulic

system must be performed in accordance with the machine manufacturerer’s

approved maintenance instructions. Raven Industries recommends that appropri-

ate protective equipment be worn when working on the hydraulic system. Ob-

jects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration system

will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the hydraulic valves.

Do not reverse the power leads. Doing so will cause severe damage to the

equipement. Always check to make sure that the power leads are connected to

the right polarity as marked. Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be

connected.

MOUNTING THE UNIVERSAL BRACKET AND VALVE

1. Mount the universal bracket to the machine as shown, directly beneath

the cab.

2. Mount t-shaped part of the universal bracket by drilling two holes and

bolting the bracket.

3. Place the valve on the mounting plate. Move the valve in place to the

holes that line up and fasten down with the bolts provided.

HYDRAULICS

Left Steer Hose

1. Identify the left steer port on the tractor steering orbital. Hoses may

need to be traced to the hydraulic cylinders for proper identification.

Once the port has been identified, remove the hose from the steering

orbital and install on the appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven

adapter kit, to the steering orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, re-

attach the original hose.

2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-204) to the A-Port on the Raven steering

control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee

fitting using a 90° fitting.

3. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to

help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.

Right Steer Hose

1. Identify the right steer port on the tractor steering orbital. Hoses may

need to be traced to the hydraulic cylinders for proper identification.

Once the port has been identified, remove the hose from the steering

orbital and install an appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter

kit, to the steering orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the

original hose.

2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-205) to the B-Port on the Raven steering

control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee

fitting using a 90° fitting.

3. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to

help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.

Pressure Hose

1. Identify the pressure port on the tractor steering orbital. Hoses may

need to be traced to the hydraulic pump for proper identification. Once

the port has been identified, remove the hose from the steering orbital

and install on the appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to

the steering orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original

hose.

2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-202) to the P-Port on the Raven steering

control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee

fitting using a 90° fitting.

3. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to

help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.

Manual # 016-0190-026

LS-PV Hose

1. Remove fitting from the LS-PV port on the SmarTrax valve. Insert the

supplied SAE O-Ring to o-ring face seal adapter fitting.

2. Remove the load sense hose from the steering orbital and connect the

hose directly to the port labeled “LS-PV” on the Raven steering control

valve. To identify the load sense port on the valve, a general rule of

thumb is that the smallest hose on the orbital is the load sense hose.

Once the hose is identified, follow the hose to its origin and verify that

the hose is running from the tractor’s priority valve.

Tank Hose

1. Identify the tank port on the tractor steering orbital. Hose may need to

be traced to the hydraulic reservoir for proper identification. Once the

port has been identified, remove the hose from the steering orbital and

install an appropriate tee fitting, found in the Raven adapter kit, to the

steering orbital. Once the tee fitting is installed, reattach the original

hose.

2. Attach hose (P/N 214-1000-203) to the T-Port on the Raven steering

control valve, route to and attach to the open branch on the installed tee

fittings using a 90° fitting.

3. It is extremely important that the tank line running to the Raven steering

control valve goes to the port designated “T”. Failure to do so will result

in internal o-ring failure on the valve.

4. An additional 45° or 90° elbow may be installed on the Raven valve to

help hose routing. These elbows will be found in the hydraulic fitting kit.

LS-Steer Hose

1. Run hose (P/N 214-1000-207) from the open branch on the tee to the

load sense port on the tractor’s steering orbital. This port should be open

since the original hose was removed and run to the LS-PV port in the

previous step.

Connect the Pressure Switch directly to the PS port on the SmarTrax valve.

STEERING POSITION SENSOR

1. The SPS attaches to the top of the left steering arm.

2. With wheels pointing straight ahead, remove bolt from center of steering

arm and loosely attach the mounting bracket as shown.

3. Attach bracket with 3/8” rod to the top hole on front inside corner of the

wheel support assembly using the supplied bolt. Attach so the 3/8” rod is

offset towards the back of the machine.

Sensor (SPS)

Nitro 2200 SmarTrax Installation Manual

With wheels straight, sensor shaft

should be in this position.

5. With 3/8” rod in the slot in the sensor arm, attach the arm to the shaft

sensor using the supplied set screws. Be sure to keep the shaft flat

aligned with the notch on the face when tightening the arm.

6. Tighten bracket holding sensor keeping arm and shaft aligned as shown

above.

4. With wheels point straight forward, place rotary sensor on bracket with

shaft pointing down. Align shaft flatside so it is perpendicular to the notch

in the sensor.

START-UP PROCEDURES

After installing the SmarTrax on your machine, always follow these start-up pro-

cedures.

w Make sure the Steering Position Sensor does not over-extend or over-

compress when turning the wheels.

w Turn the wheels fully from side to side numerous times to remove air

from the hydraulic system.

Important: Time the wheels for a full left to right and right to

left time of approximately 5 seconds. Refer to the Universal

Kit Manual for additional instructions on this.

w Adjust the pressure switch to the most responsive setting. Refer to the

Universal Kit Manual for instructions on this.
