INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before installing the SmarTrax 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 SmarTrax system for
the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the SmarTrax 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.).
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.
