Important Safety Information
l
Follow existing hose runs already routed on the implement as much as possible.
Proper hose routing should:
l
Secure hoses and prevent hoses from hanging below the implement.
l
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.
l
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 imple-
ment).
l
Protect hoses from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and nor-
mal implement operation.
l
Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal oper-
ation and prevent pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in artic-
ulation and pivot points. Clamp hoses securely to force controlled movement of
the hose.
l
Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners,
fastener threads or cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
l
Avoid areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab
bar.
l
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 tem-
perature rating of hose components.
l
Hoses should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed
to conditions beyond hose component specifications.
l
Avoid routing hoses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g.
dirt, mud, snow, ice, etc.).
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:
l
Leave protective caps/covers over harness connectors until needed to avoid dirt and
moisture from contaminating electrical circuits.
