Page 7 CLAMP circuit pressure. DATA AS RECEIVED The TFC™ system is delivered with data as specified by the customer on the pre-sale form. IMPORTANT: The end-user must verify the pressures specified for each load description before the truck and attachment are put into operation.
Page 8 TFC™ SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The TFC™ system is a touch screen system that allows the driver to select the product and load configuration to automatically apply proper clamp force, based on pressure, to the load. The TFC™ system is an improvement over the three-position valve option, offering many more settings.

Page 14 1. How is the data displayed on the touch screen entered or modified? Data is entered or modified using the TFC™ Data Tool which is provided as part of the TFC™ kit. 2. Can the load data file be emailed? Yes.
Page 15 General FAQs ™ FAQ’s-General 9. Does the setup procedure need to be performed for every truck and clamp combination: Yes. Combining the hydro-mechanical variability of the truck and clamp results in a unique operating environment that will require the set up variables to be set individually from truck to truck.
Page 16 TFC™ Data Tool? Either psi, bar, or MPa can be used. Conversions are done internally. 23. What is the clamp pressure if the TFC™ unit is OFF or there is no power to the unit? The pressure setting is ultra-low and the arms will normally not close.
