Installation Instructions
Section One: Trailer TSC Mounting
1.0 TSC Mounting Location:
Select a location on the trailer to mount the TSC. The suggested location is on the first trailer frame
crossmember approx. 1 to 10 feet behind the trailer bumper hitch ball and shielded from road debris. The
TSC can be mounted on either the “leading” or “trailing” edge of the crossmember as long as the correct
side is in the UP direction (as indicated on the label). The “trailing” edge is preferred since it provides the
best protection from road debris. The TSC must be securely fastened onto a vertical surface of a steel trailer
frame member to operate correctly. It must not be fastened to any other trailer surface that flexes or moves
from wind such as plastic covers or plastic walls. The center of the TSC (marked by a red dot on the TSC
label – SEE BELOW) must be positioned on the “center line” of the trailer. The longest edge of the TSC (as
indicated by a red line on the label) must be mounted parallel to the trailer axle beam(s). SEE Figure 1 on
page 2.

1.1 Mounting Hardware:
The TSC should be mounted using the mounting flanges which are located on the bottom of the
unit. The customer is responsible for supplying the mounting bolts. Use four #10 self tapping screws with
star lock washers to mount the TSC to the trailer. It is recommended that star lock washers be
used and you must securely tighten the mounting bolts to hold the TSC firmly in position and to avoid
becoming loose from vibration.
You can NOT drill holes in the TSC for any reason. Drilling holes or puncturing the unit VOIDS
YOUR WARRANTY.
DO NOT SPRAY HIGH PRESSURE WATER ON THE TSC. The TSC is a weather sealed,
!
water resistant unit but it is not designed to withstand direct, high pressure spray
from a power washer.
