Maintenance Mode and Bypass Valves

If the Raptor needs to be moved manually for stowing, deploying, or performing maintenance work, it is essential to put the Hydraulic Pump in Maintenance Mode and open the Hydraulic Circuit. Maintenance Mode is turned "on" and "off" via the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly or in the One-Boat Network app. The Pump Assembly contains Bypass Valves on the side of the Manifold marked with a "BP". They relieve pressure with the Pressure Wrench after the Pump is put into Maintenance Mode. The Pump Assembly is placed into Maintenance Mode to release the pressure on the Hydraulic Lines. Maintenance Mode allows the Raptor to be manually stowed and deployed. When both the Hydraulic Pump is placed into Maintenance Mode AND the Bypass Valves are opened, the Raptor moves under manual control, and the Hydraulic Pressure is relieved.

Turn Maintenance Mode ON for the Raptor from the Pump Indicator Panel

• Maintenance Mode is turned "on" and "off" via the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly or in the One-Boat Network app.

1. Press and hold the Pair/Maintenance
   button on the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly. The Pump will beep three consecutive times, confirming it is in Maintenance Mode. The Pair/Maintenance LED will illuminate blue and stay lit while in Maintenance Mode. 
   
2.  To perform maintenance work, open the Bypass Valves. For directions, please see the "Open the Bypass Valves" section of this Manual. 
   

Turn Maintenance Mode ON for the Raptor from the One-Boat Network App

• Maintenance Mode is turned "on" and "off" via the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly or in the One-Boat Network app.

1. With the One-Boat Network app open and paired  with the Raptor, bring up the One-Boat Network app Home Screen. 
2. Tap the Anchor icon on the Home Screen to open the Raptor app Home Screen. 
   
3. From the Raptor Home Screen, select the  Menu 
   
4. In Raptor Settings, select Manually Retract.
   
5. For a single Raptor, selecting Manually Retract brings up a confirmation screen.
6. For a dual Raptor system, the Manually Retract Menu appears and displays Left/Port and Right/ Starboard. Select the Raptor to manually retract. The confirmation screen appears. 
   
7. The OBN app displays a confirmation message, "Enable Manually Retract Mode? Operations of the Raptor are disabled while Manually Retract Mode is On." Select "Confirm". The Raptor is now in Maintenance Mode. 
   
8. The Pump for the respective Raptor will beep three consecutive times, confirming it is in Maintenance Mode. The Pair/Maintenance LED  will illuminate blue and stay lit while in Maintenance Mode.
9. To perform maintenance work, open the Bypass Valves. For directions, please see the "Open the Bypass Valves" section of this Manual.  

10. For a dual Raptor system, repeat the process to place the other Raptor in Maintenance Mode. 
    Open the Bypass Valves

    

Open the Bypass Valves

1. If the Raptor is retracted, even if only partially, secure the Spike and/or ensure the path of travel for the Raptor is clear so that the Raptor will not pose a striking hazard when the Bypass Valves are opened. Keep fingers clear of pinch points and moving parts. 
   
2. Use the Pressure Wrench (Part No. 2358800) to open the Bypass Valves on the Hydraulic Pump. The Pressure Wrench has two ends. The Keyed Hex End is used to loosen the Acorn Nuts covering the Bypass Valves on the side of the Pump Manifold, and the Flat Screwdriver End is used to open the Valves. Locate the Acorn Nuts on the side of the Hydraulic Pump Manifold. The Acorn Nuts are marked with "BP". Use the Keyed Hex End of the Pressure Wrench to loosen and remove both Acorn Nuts covering the Bypass Valves by turning counterclockwise. With the Acorn Nuts removed, set them aside in a secure location for re-installation later. 
   
   
3. Flip the Pressure Wrench over and use the Flat Screwdriver End of the Pressure Wrench to turn both Bypass Valves one turn in a counterclockwise direction to open the Hydraulic Circuit. Turning the Bypass Valves more than one turn or continuing to turn the Bypass Valves counterclockwise will not increase the degree to which the Hydraulic Circuit opens. Do not turn the Bypass Valves so much that they become removed. Additional turning of the Bypass Valve will not increase the amount of relief on the Hydraulic Circuit. Once the Circuit is relieved, the Raptor anchor can be manually adjusted into the desired position. 
    
   
4. The anchor can now freely move into the desired position. Move the Raptor into the desired position and secure it. It may be necessary to have a second person help move and secure the anchor. 
   
   
5. When maintenance work is complete, close the Hydraulic Circuit by closing the Bypass Valves and turning the Maintenance Mode OFF. To close the Hydraulic Circuit, please see "Close the Bypass Valves." When the Hydraulic Circuit is closed, use either the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly or the One-Boat Network app to turn Maintenance  Mode "off." 

Close Bypass Valves

1. With the anchor in the desired position, use the Flat Screwdriver End of the Pressure Wrench (Part No. 2358800) to turn both Bypass Valves one turn clockwise to close the Hydraulic Circuit. Use the Pressure Wrench to hand-tighten the Bypass Valves until they are tight. Once the Circuit is closed, the Raptor is held in position by the Hydraulic pressure and should not move freely. 
    
   
2. Replace the Acorn Nuts over the Bypass Valves. Use the Keyed Hex End of the Pressure Wrench to tighten and replace both Acorn Nuts covering the Bypass Valves by turning clockwise. Tighten the Acorn Nuts to 120 in-lbs.  
   
3. When maintenance work is complete and the Bypass Valves are closed, turn Maintenance Mode OFF. 
4. To turn Maintenance Mode OFF, please use either the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly or the  One-Boat Network app. See "Turn Maintenance Mode OFF for the Raptor from the Indicator Panel" or  "Turn Maintenance Mode OFF for the Raptor from  the One-Boat Network App".

Turn Maintenance Mode OFF for the Raptor from the Indicator Panel

1. Ensure the Bypass Valves are closed before turning Maintenance Mode OFF. Read the "Closing the Bypass Valves" section to learn how.
2. To remove the Hydraulic Pump from Maintenance Mode press the Pair/Maintenance button on the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly. The Pump will beep three consecutive times to confirm that it is out of Maintenance Mode. When Maintenance Mode turns OFF the Pair/Maintenance LED  will turn off, and the Hydraulic Pump can be controlled by any paired devices and Remotes.

Turn Maintenance Mode OFF for the Raptor from the One-Boat Network App

1. Ensure the Bypass Valves are closed before turning Maintenance Mode OFF. Read the "Closing the Bypass Valves" section to learn how.
2. With the One-Boat Network app open and paired  with the Raptor, bring up the One-Boat Network app Home Screen.
3. Tap the Anchor icon on the Home Screen to open the Raptor app Home Screen. 
   
4. From the Raptor Home Screen, select the  Menu 
    Button. 
   
5. In Raptor Settings, select Manually Retract. 
   
6. For a single Raptor, selecting Manually Retract brings up a Exit screen. 
7. For a dual Raptor system, the Manually Retract Menu appears and displays Left/Port and Right/Starboard. Select the Raptor to manually retract. The Exit  screen appears.   
   
8. The OBN app displays a Exit message asking, "Have you closed the Raptor bypass valve?" If the Bypass Valves are closed select Confirm. If the Bypass Valves are open, complete the instructions to close them before turning Maintenance Mode OFF. 
   
9. The Pump will beep three consecutive times to confirm that it is out of Maintenance Mode. When Maintenance Mode turns OFF the Pair/Maintenance LED  will turn off, and the Hydraulic Pump can be controlled by any paired devices and Remotes. 
10. For a dual Raptor system, repeat the process for each Raptor to turn Maintenance Mode OFF.
