Installing the Vehicle Cradle
To install the vehicle cradle, you need these tools and
materials (not included):
• Common hand tools
• Torque driver
• Appropriate mounting hardware for the mounting surface
• Electric drill and drill bits
Before installing the AV1 vehicle cradle, you should choose a
location for the cradle where the operator can easily see the
CK30 screen and use the keypad. If possible, install the
vehicle cradle in a location that prevents glare from overhead
lighting and sunlight.

the best-possible viewing angle for the vehicle operator.
Periodically inspect the knob on the mounting arm to make
sure it is still tight. Check the vehicle cradle assembly for any
signs of fatigue, such as cracking, which may develop over
extended use in extreme (vibration) environments. Replace
any damaged hardware immediately to ensure continued, safe
operation.
