Safety
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of
your vessel. Your TR-1 Autopilot is a tool that will enhance
your capability to operate your boat and catch sh. It does
not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation
of your vessel. You must avoid hazards to navigation and
never leave the helm unattended.
In case of autopilot pump failure or leakage, shut the valves located
on the front of the manifold see page 15.
NOTE:
Before proceeding with the installation, read these instructions thoroughly. TR-1 Autopilots cannot accept
responsibility for installations where instructions have not been followed, where substitute parts have been
used, or where modications have been made to our products.

Installation Overview and Check List
Please read all installation instructions before proceeding with the install!
The TR-1 Gladiator is designed and manufactured to meet the harsh marine environment.
However, no electronics can perform as intended unless installed, setup and maintained properly.
Please read and follow the recommended installation procedures. (The specic order of steps 4-
11 can vary depending on certain conditions and the installer.)
If you read through the instructions
and have questions about your specic installation, please don’t hesitate to call technical support
at
1-866-559-0229
.
1)
Refer to Hydraulic Layout on pages 4-6, for proper location of Hydraulic Pump, Shadow
Drive Valve and ttings. Verify cylinder type, See page 11. Verify that your hydraulic steering layout
matches the layouts on pages 4-6.
2) Refer to the Wiring Diagram on page 7, for all electrical connections.
3) Before drilling and mounting components we recommend that you lay out all components rst.
Check cable lengths. Extensions are available by calling TR-1
4) Mount the Pump. Page 14 &15. Must be located within 20” of the ECU.
5) Mount the ECU. Page 18. Must be located within 20” of the Pump.
6) Mount the Compass Ball. Page 16 & 17. Must have access to make electrical connections
for NMEA, Shadow Drive, and Warning Horn. It must be mounted in the bracket in such a way that
the wires point directly down toward the water for proper orientation of the uxgate compass.
7) Mount the Shadow Drive Valve. See pages 21 & 22. See Hydraulic Layouts page 4-6.
8) Mount and install Warning Horn. See page 23.
9) Mount the Deckmount Switch. See page 24.
10) Mount the Handheld. Flush mount, or Corded walkaround. See page 25
11) Install Autopilot Tachometry Connections. (Tach Sensor Cable) See page 26 &27.
12) Battery Connections. See page 28.
13) Bleeding Hydraulics. See page 28. Helm(s), Autopilot Pump, Cylinder and Hydraulic lines need
to be purged of all air! (Follow steering system Instructions)
14)
Check for leaks at all hydraulic connections.
15) Use a Corrosion Blocker on all installed Components. ie, Bo-Shield, Corrosion X etc.
16)
Dockside Setup: Lock to Lock times, Helm displacement, Verify steering direction, RPM Source
Cong., Verify tachometry, Transition RPM, and verify NMEA connections on GPS. See pages 29-33.
17) Sea Trial Setup: Compass Calibration, Autotune, Set North. See pages 29-33.
18) Re-check for leaks and hydraulic uid levels
