2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill mounting holes into the mounting surface as
required. The round and elliptical holes in the bracket’s vehicle mounting surface are symmetrical, so
forwards/backwards positioning is not important during this step. However, positioning is important in
the next step.
Before drilling holes and/or installing mounting screws, verify these operations will not
damage or interfere with any existing vehicle component (the fuel tank, a fuel line, the
transmission housing, existing vehicle wiring, electronic control modules, etc.). Always
check to see how far the mounting screws will extend beyond the mounting surface
prior to installation. Always deburr drilled holes before installing screws.
3. Postion the bracket at the mounting surface so the two round holes in its two side “ears” are nearest to
the normal location of the operator (typically towards the rear of the vehicle) and the two slotted holes
are furthest from the normal location of the operator (typically towards the front of the vehicle).
4. Install and tighten the mounting screws. Screws for mounting the bracket to the mounting vehicle’s
surface are not included, as all installations differ. Self-threading screws are recommended. Use of self-
drilling screws may cause damage to some mounting surfaces, such as a plastic dash panel.
5. Verify the bracket is held firmly to the mounting surface. Firm mounting prevents unreasonable
vibration, which could damage the Control Head and/or cause its cable connections to loosen.
