To Raise (“Store”) the Unit for Transport
1. Ensure that both the truck bed and area above the rear of the host vehicle is clear.
2. Locate the desired controller, either the in - cab controller (if installed) or the rear plug - in. If using
the rear plug - in, and it is not already plugged in, plug it into the socket on the TMA near the rear
passenger side of the truck.
3. If the unit is to be transported, ensure that the drop jacks are fully retracted and pinned and that
the swivel jacks are fully retracted and rotated to the stored and locked position.
4. If using the rear plug - in controller unplug and store in the cab.
To Lower (“Deploy”) the Unit for removal or Use
1. Ensure that both the area above and to the rear of the host vehicle is clear.
2. Plug in the controller (see #2 above) or locate the in - cab controller (if installed).
3. If the unit is being removed, the swivel jacks should be rotated to the deployed position and the
drop jacks lowered and pinned to the correct height. If the unit is being deployed for use, all
jacks should remain in the stored position.
4. Being careful to avoid the pinch points, push the “Down” button until the TMA is fully deployed
to a horizontal position.
5. Continue to hold the Down button for 4 more seconds after the Arrow/Message Board Lift System
(if attached) or the TMA has stopped moving. This will ensure the TMA is fully deployed and the
hydraulic system is at the proper pressure to hold it in position.
6. Make sure the Arrow/Message Board is displaying the proper message.
Note: TMA must be in the stowed position for travel to and from the Work Zone
