Survey the Trailer
Survey the trailer and decide where
exactly
to install the hardware. Ensure the TT150
terminal and cable are not in a location where they are prone to be bumped or damaged
by normal gladhand/connection coupler operation.
Terminal and Cables
Make sure that the TT150 system terminal and cable locations do not hinder normal
operation or maintenance of the trailer. Also if cables are routed internally, make sure the
TT150 system terminal and cables are installed and/or stored safely out of the way of
possible damage by cargo or other factors.
What to Consider Before Installing the System
•
Drill holes only when necessary.
•
Omnitracs recommends you use existing holes on the trailer for cable routing whenever
possible.
•
Use silicone (RTV) sealant when necessary to prevent leakage.
Installation Guidelines
When making installation decisions, consider safety, security, quality and reliability, and
accessibility.
•
Use eye protection when using a drill or performing work that poses any hazard to the
eyes.
•
Use ear protection in a noisy working area.
•
Wear appropriate clothing or uniforms and safety shoes.
•
Make sure you know what is behind the area before you drill.
•
Make sure ladders and portable scaffolding are in good condition.
•
Place ladders in safe positions.
•
Install equipment so it will not cause damage to the trailer or hardware over time or will
work loose over time.
•
Make sure there are no loose components/cables and no unsecured components.
•
Use solid mounting surfaces.
•
Install all components in a location where they will not be abused.
•
Route all cables away from sharp or abrasive areas where they might become damaged.
•
Choose a location where components are safe from tampering.
•
Choose a location where future maintenance can be easily serviced.
