RoGator x54 Series (1996 & Older) AutoBoom Installation Manual
Preparing for Installation
Before installing AutoBoom, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. 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.
Recommendations
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices before installing or operating the AutoBoom system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the AutoBoom system to another machine:
•
Ensure the machine’s hydraulic filters have been recently changed and 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.).
•
Operate each of the machine’s boom hydraulic functions (i.e., tilt, fold, center rack, tongue extension, or
other hydraulic valve functions) three times to ensure the machine’s hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and
debris is flushed from the hydraulic hoses, valves, and filters.
•
Upon installation of the AutoBoom system, operate the boom and center rack raise/lower functions through
the machine’s manual control functions first before operating them via the AutoBoom controller/field
computer to ensure the hydraulic system has been installed correctly and air is released from the system.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the AutoBoom system.
•
Use part numbers to identify the parts.
•
Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
•
Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.
