INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS- DIN RADIO
This unit is designed for installation in vehicle cabs with an existing radio
opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to
mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics
supply stores and car stereo specialist shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your
vehicle.
UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING
MOUNTING SLEEVE
1) Remove endcaps and slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis. If
it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to
disengage it.
2) Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve
into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as
necessary until the sleeve slides easily into the opening. Do not
force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check
that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio
chassis. Connect wires prior to actually installing the sleeve. Pigtail
wiring should take place after hole size is confirmed. Mount sleeve
after wiring.
3) Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections
of the wiring harness are properly secured and insulated to insure
proper operation of this unit. After completing the wiring
connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch
must be “on”). If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the
problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off
ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
4) Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of
the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dash
opening, bend tabs outward so that the sleeve is firmly secured to
the dashboard.
5) Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is
right side up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into
place.
6) Attach one end of the perforated mounting strap (supplied) to the
screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the flange nut provided.
Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the
dashboard, either above or below the radio using the screw and
flange nut provided, bend the strap to position as necessary.
