COMPLETING INSTALLATION
COMPLETING THE RAPTOR INSTALLATION
At this point in the installation, the Raptor anchor and Pump
Assembly have been successfully mounted to the boat and
connected to a power source. The Hydraulic Hoses have also been
routed and connected to the Pump Assembly. Since the motion of
the anchor is also controlled by the use of hydraulics, to complete
the installation, the Pump Assembly needs to be filled with
hydraulic fluid and go through a deploy/retract sequence to bleed
the hydraulic lines. The final steps in installation will include
confirming the Bluetooth connection between the remotes that
come paired with the anchor from the factory and the Pump Assembly. Before using the Raptor for its intended purpose, confirm that
the installation of the components is complete and then finalize the installation for successful operation.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Filling the Pump with Hydraulic Fluid and Bleeding the Hydraulic Lines
In order to complete the installation, the Pump Assembly needs to be connected to a power source. If the Pump is not connected to a
power source, review the "Battery & Wiring Installation" section of these instructions.

The Raptor anchor should be extended so that the
Spike is resting on the ground. If the Spike is not
resting on the ground from the previous installation
steps, carefully lower the anchor with the help of a
second person. Watch for pinch points when manually
moving the Raptor.
CAUTION
Be sure that the Raptor is clear of obstructions and persons
while deploying or retracting. The spaces between the Outer
Arm, Inner Arm, Spike and brackets of the Raptor can create
a pinch point. Do not come in contact with an area of the
Raptor that may cause a pinch point while it is moving in
any direction to avoid the risk. Stay clear of the anchor if it
is not held in place under the power of the Hydraulic Circuit
or physical restraint. Not lowering the Spike before filling
the Hydraulic Circuit and bleeding the hydraulic lines can
result in a striking hazard created by the force of gravity on an
unsecured anchor. Lower the Spike to avoid the risk.
WARNING
Do not run the Hydraulic Pump until after hydraulic fluid has
been added. Running the Hydraulic Pump without hydraulic
fluid can damage the pump.

CAUTION
Because of the mechanical pressure from the use of hydraulics,
avoid injury by making sure the mechanical installation of the
Raptor anchor and Pump Assembly is complete before finalizing
the installation. Hydraulic pressure from unsecured components
may cause unexpected operation and movement of components.
