3-2. MOUNTING BRACKET.
WARNING
When installing equipment inside air
bag equipped vehicles, the installer
MUST ensure that the equipment is
installed ONLY in areas recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer.
Failure to observe this warning will
reduce the effectiveness of the air bag,
damage the air bag, or potentially dam-
age or dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury or death to you or others.
The electronic siren comes equipped with a
swinging bracket which enables it to be mounted in
variety of positions. Positioning the bracket above the
unit allows mounting to the underside of the dash.
Positioning the bracket below the unit will permit
mounting on any horizontal surface.
The unit should be mounted in a position that is
both comfortable and convenient to the operator.
Keep visibility and accessibility of controls in mind.
To install the unit under the dash, determine the
mounting location and proceed as follows (see figure
3-1).
CAUTION
The unit must be installed in an adequately
ventilated area. Never install near heater
ducts.
A.
Use the mounting bracket as a template
and scribe two drill positioning marks at the selected
mounting location under the dash.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle,
be sure that both sides of the mounting
surface are clear of parts that could be dam-
aged; such as brake lines, electrical wiring or
other vital parts.
B.
Drill two 1/4-inch diameter holes at the
position marks.
C.
Secure the mounting bracket to the dash
with user-supplied 1/4-20 x 3/4 hex head screws, 1/4
split lockwashers and 1/4-20 hex nuts as shown in
figure 3-1.
D.
Secure the electronic siren to the mounting
bracket with 1/4-20 x 1/2 hex head screws and 1/4
split lockwashers as shown in figure 3-1.
