16. Determine the best radio-to-bracket position and angle by test-fitting the radio into the mounting
bracket at the selected vehicle mounting location. In the rear, additional clearance must be included for
cables. The area directly at the front of the radio must be completely clear of all objects (e.g., gear shift,
other radio equipment, etc.) so the operator can easily access and view the Control Head.
17. If the mounting surface is not flat (such as the top of a transmission hump), construct a suitable
mounting wedge as necessary, and attach the wedge to the surface using an approved attachment
method. Never mount the bracket directly to a non-flat surface.
18. On the mounting surface, mark the selected location for the bracket.
19. Clean and remove any foreign material from the mounting surface.
20. Using the bracket as a template, mark and drill at least four (4) mounting holes into the mounting
surface as required per the type of hardware used.
Before drilling holes and/or installing mounting screws, verify these operations will not
damage or interfere with any existing vehicle component (e.g., the fuel tank, a fuel line,
the transmission housing, existing vehicle wiring, electronic control modules, etc.).
Always verify how far the mounting screws will extend beyond the mounting surface
prior to installation. Always deburr drilled holes before installing screws.
21. Deburr all the newly drilled holes.
22. If necessary, apply an approved paint or rust-inhibitor at the holes in the mounting surface.
23. Set the bracket back into place.
24. Install and tighten the mounting screws/hardware.
