NOTICE

WARNING

CHAPTER 1

2New Holland AutoBoomXRT Calibration & Operation Manual

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

When installing or servicing a hydraulic system or hydraulic components, be aware that hydraulic fluid may be

extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when installing or servicing hydraulic systems.

• Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the implement running.

• Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s

approved maintenance instructions.

• Care should always be taken when servicing or opening a system that has been pressurized.

• The implement or machine must remain stationary and switched off with booms or implement sections

unfolded and supported during installation or maintenance.

• Take precautions to prevent foreign material or contaminants from being introduced into the implement

hydraulic system. Contaminants that are able to bypass the hydraulic filtration system will reduce performance

and may damage hydraulic components.

• Stand clear of the implement when starting the system for the first time after installing 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. Reversing the power leads

could cause severe damage to the Raven system or other components.

• To prevent personal injury or fire, replace defective or blown fuses with only fuses of the same type and

amperage.

• 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.

TOUCH SCREEN

• Only touch the touch-screen with your finger or by using a special touch-screen stylus/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 substances.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

HOSE ROUTING

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.

• Follow existing hose runs already routed on the implement as much as possible. Proper hose routing should:

• Secure hoses and prevent hoses from hanging below the implement.

• Provide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones around shafts;

universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts, and chains; moving linkages,

cylinders, articulation joints, etc.

• Protect hoses from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs, fence posts, crop stubble,

dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the implement).

• Protect hoses from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and normal implement

operation.

• 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. Clamp hoses

securely to force controlled movement of the hose.

• Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners, fastener threads or

cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.

• Avoid areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab bar.

• Do not connect, affix, or allow hoses to come into contact with components with high vibration forces, hot

surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the temperature rating of hose components.

• Hoses should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed to conditions

beyond hose component specifications.

• Avoid routing hoses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g. dirt, mud, snow, ice,

etc.).

INTRODUCTION

Raven’s latest advancement in boom controls is AutoBoom® XRT. Industry-leading radar sensor technology uses

simultaneous ground and canopy detection to maintain optimal spray height for maximum product efficacy.

Pressure-based control allow for smooth movement and quicker reaction time while center rack stability

technology with optional dampers gives the operator complete control, maximizing boom life.

INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

Before installing the AutoBoom XRT system, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Bleed

pressure from the hydraulic system and 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.

Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the XRT system for the first

time, at the start of the season, or when moving the AutoBoom XRT system to another machine:

• Verify that the machine’s hydraulic system is using fresh oil and that the filters have been recently changed

• Ensure there are no issues with the machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine

metal deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).

POINT OF REFERENCE

The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the machine, looking toward the cab.

WARNING

Carefully read and follow all safety requirements

and precautions contained in this manual and the

machine-specific Installation Manual. Failure to

follow safety instructions may lead to equipment

damage, personal injury, or death.
