Hydraulic Safety
• Raven Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn at all times when working on
the hydraulic system.
• Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment running. Care should always be
taken when opening a system that has been previously pressurized.
• When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.
• Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s
approved maintenance instructions.
• When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure
that precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants from being introduced into the
machine’s hydraulic system. Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration
system will reduce performance and possibly damage the hydraulic valves.
Electrical Safety
• Always verify that the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power
leads could cause severe damage to the equipment.
• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.
• Disconnect the SCS 450 Serial Interface console before jump-starting the vehicle.
• Disconnect the SCS 450 Serial Interface console before welding any component of the machine.
