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

equipment. 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.

SENSOR MOUNTING

Mounting the Yaw Sensor

Installing the Raven Yaw Sensor is quick and easy. Raven recommends that

you keep the following points in mind while installing the sensor:

• The sensor is not weatherproof. Mount the sensor inside of the

machine’s cab or drivers compartment.

• Mount the sensor to a flat surface parallel to the ground with the

Raven logo facing up. The floor of the cab is generally ideal.

• Once mounted, the sensor should remain fixed in relation to the

vehicle. The sensor should not become loose or rotate due to machine

vibration or movement.

• The sensor should also be mounted in a location where it will not be

kicked or jarred during normal equipment operation.

• The cable does not need to be oriented in any way to the direction of

travel of the vehicle. Mount the sensor to with the cable routed to avoid

tripping hazards or damaging the cable or yaw sensor.

double sided tape on the sensor or steel bolts or screws through the

mounting plate. See the Mounting the Yaw Sensor section above for

mounting location considerations.
