INSTALL THE TC1™
BEST MOUNTING PRACTICES
Ensure the installer follows all of the following guidelines for best mounting practices:
•
Use the standard TC1 mounting bracket (P/N 117-8000-173).
•
Place the TC1 near the seat, preferably to the left of the seat.
•
Remove the 2 seat bolts on the left side and install the bracket with TC1 mounted to the rear. Use
the provided bolts and washers for proper thread engagement.
•
If the installer is unable to attach the TC1 to the seat bolts, attach the TC1 in the cab in a location
that is free from vibrations.
•
The TC1 may only be mounted in a horizontal position (with the sticker facing upwards). The
connectors may be orientated in four directions: 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
•
By default, the orientation of the TC1 is set with connectors pointing towards the rear. Any other
orientation should be set properly in the accompanying software.
