Display Installation
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill. The display
should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls
and clearly see the display screen.
For more information refer to the separate Polaris Installation
instructions.
!
Warning:
When installing the displays, ensure appropriate
safety equipment is used, eg. ear muffs, protective glasses, gloves
and a dust mask.
Power tools may exceed safe noise levels, and can cast off
dangerous projectiles.
The dust from many materials commonly used in vehicle
construction may cause irritation or damage to eyes, skin, and
lungs.
Bracket mounting
1.
Place the bracket in the desired mounting location, and use a pencil
or permanent marker to mark drilling locations.
¼ Note: Ensure that the chosen location has enough height to
accomodate the display fitted in the bracket, and allows tilting of
the display. Also adequate space is required on both sides to allow
tightening and loosening of the knobs.
2.
Use fasteners suited to the mounting
surface material. If the material is too
thin for self tappers, reinforce it, or
mount the bracket with machine
screws and large washers. Use only 304
or 316 stainless steel fasteners. Mark the
screw locations using the bracket as a
template, and drill pilot holes.
3.
Screw down the bracket.
