Blue Ox TC35270 - Manual (Page 3)

Review the TruCenter application guide to verify you have selected the proper TruCenter steering control
system for your vehicle. Over or under-sizing the TruCenter may cause improper handling characteristics.
READ THESE AND MOUNTING BRACKET INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING THIS
INSTALLATION.
Install this unit using the proper TruCenter™ bracket kit for your vehicle
(sold separately). This unit may also be installed on existing SAFE-T-
PLUS™ brackets on your vehicle. Inspect your existing brackets for
possible damage or wear before reusing with the TruCenter.
NOTE:
The TruCenter is meant to be mounted parallel with and in back of the tie
rod. It may be necessary to use shims between the tie rod bracket
and the TruCenter unit (see Figure 1). Shimming the TruCenter unit in
this fashion allows clearance and keeps it from binding.
1. Location of the tie-rod bracket must be adjusted to fit the TruCenter. Before installing, verify the TruCenter
unit is still in adjustment from the factory by ensuring:
The distance from center to center at the TruCenter mounting points is
approximately 35” ± 1/32”. If this is not the case, continue installation then refer to realigning the TruCenter.
2. Ensure the vehicle’s front wheels are straight ahead before starting
installation. The vehicle must be at normal ride height, (i.e., air bags filled to
normal driving height). Do not use jacks or levelers. Install the TruCenter
with the adjustable end (solenoid end) mounted to the anchor bracket.
Mount the other end on the tie-rod bracket. See the instructions that came
with the mounting brackets for proper location of brackets.
3. See wiring diagram on page 3 for proper wiring of the TruCenter™ unit and use
as a reference for instructions A – E below.
