NOTICE
Follow the operation and safety instructions included with the implement
and/or controller and read this manual carefully before installing or
operating this Raven system.
-
Follow all safety information presented within this manual. Review implement operation with your local dealer.
-
Contact a local Raven dealer for assistance with any portion of the installation, service, or operation of Raven equipment.
-
Follow all safety labels affixed to system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good condition and replace any missing or damaged labels. Contact a local Raven dealer to obtain replacements for safety labels.
Observe the following safety measures when operating the implement after installing this Raven system: -
Do not operate this Raven system or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or an illegal substance.
-
Be alert and aware of surroundings and remain in the operator seat at all times when operating this Raven system.
-
Do not operate the implement on any public road with this Raven system enabled.
-
Disable this Raven system before exiting the operator seat.
-
Determine and remain a safe working distance from obstacles and bystanders. The operator is responsible for disabling the system when a safe working distance has diminished.
-
Disable this Raven system prior to starting any maintenance work on the implement or components of this Raven system.
-
Do not attempt to modify or lengthen any of the system control cables. Extension cables are available from a local Raven dealer.
DISPLAYS AND CONTROL CONSOLES
- If the display will not be used for an extended period, it is best to remove the display from the machine and store it in a climate controlled environment. This may help to extend the service life of electronic components.
- To prevent theft, secure the display and GPS antenna when leaving the machine unattended.
CAUTION
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
HARNESS ROUTING
The word “harness” is used to describe any electrical cables and leads, both
bundled and unbundled. Use the following guidelines and recommendations when
connecting and routing harnesses while installing or maintaining this Raven
system:
-
Leave protective caps/covers over harness connectors until needed to avoid dirt and moisture from contaminating electrical circuits.
-
Secure the harness to the frame or solid structural members at least every 12 in [30 cm].
- Follow existing harness runs already routed on the implement as much as possible. Proper harness routing should:
- Secure harnessing and prevent the harness 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 harnessing 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 harnessing from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and normal implement operation.
- Connectors and splices should not be located at bending points or in harness sections that move.
- 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 harnessing securely to force controlled movement of the harness.
- Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners, fastener threads or cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
-
Do not connect, affix, or allow harnessing to come into contact with components with high vibration forces, hot surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the temperature rating of harness components.
- Harnessing should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed to conditions beyond harnessing component specifications.
-
Avoid routing harnesses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g. dirt, mud, snow, ice, etc.).
-
Avoid routing harnesses in areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab bar.
IMPORTANT: Avoid applying direct spray or pressure washing of electrical components and connections. High pressure streams and sprays can penetrate seals, cause corrosion, or otherwise damage electrical components. When performing maintenance: -
Inspect electrical components and connectors for corrosion, damaged pins or housings, etc. Repair or replace components or harnessing as necessary.
-
Ensure connectors are kept clean and dry. Apply dielectric grease to the sealing surfaces of all connections exposed to moisture, dirt, debris, and other contaminates. Repair or replace harnessing as necessary.
-
Clean electrical components with pressurized air, aerosol electrical cleaning agent, or low pressure rinse.
-
Remove visible surface water from electrical components and connections using pressurized air or an aerosol cleaning agent. Allow components to dry thoroughly before reconnecting cables.

INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICES
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before installing the RS1™ 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 RS1™ system for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the RS1™ 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.
KIT COMPONENTS
This section contains a list of the components that are included in the RS1
