Safety Precautions For Connecting Hydraulic Hoses
WARNINGS:
• The machine must remain switched off, isolated, and stationary, while installation
and maintenance is being done.
• When disconnecting hydraulic hoses, or when purging is required, it is important
to be aware that hydraulic oil may be hot. Caution must be exercised.
• The risk of contamination of the hydraulic system is at its greatest when any
fitting is removed. It is essential that, prior to the loosening of any fitting, the
fitting is cleaned thoroughly with a spray cleaner such as Brake Clean™.
••
••
• Note: Brake Clean™ can cause premature failure to o-rings such as those
used in ORFS fittings. If a fitting is to be cleaned internally, the o-ring should be
removed first and cleaned with fiberless cloth.
• Lines should be capped with plastic blanking covers immediately on removal,
to help prevent foreign matter contamination.
To install each component of the hydraulic steering kit as efficiently as possible; it is
important to follow the order in which this procedure is outlined. Failure to do so can
result in damage to components such as hydraulic hoses due to incorrect hose routing.
Prior to starting the installation of hydraulic hoses, ensure that the machine is switched
off and that all pressure is relieved from the machine hydraulic system. This can be done
by turning the steering wheel left and right.
It is important to make sure that the pressure hose is connect to the “P” Port on the
Raven Valve and the Return Line is connected to the “T” Port on the Raven Valve. Con-
necting these lines backwards WILL DAMAGE VALVE SEALS!
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The Raven Universal Hydraulic Kit does not come with hydraulic hoses. Hoses should be
made per specifications noted on the installation worksheet.
Adapter fittings will be needed for proper installtion. Adapter fittings are not provided with the
Steer Kit, but a kit is available (P/N 117-9001-015).
