INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICES
RECOMMENDATIONS
Park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry before installing the TC1™ system. Bleed pressure from
the hydraulic system and leave the machine turned off for the duration of the installation process.
Follow good safety practices during the installation process. Be sure to carefully read the instructions in this
manual.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the TC1™ system for the
first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the TC1™ system to another machine:
• Verify that the machine’s hydraulic system is using fresh oil and that the filters have been recently changed
• Ensure there are no issues with the machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine
metal deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).
POINT OF REFERENCE
The instructions in this manual assume that the operator is standing behind the machine, looking towards the cab.
