9.2 BRACKET
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
When drilling holes, be careful to avoid damaging some vital part of the vehicle (fuel
tank, transmission housing, etc.). Always check to see how far the mounting screws
will extend below the mounting surface prior to installation. After drilling pilot holes,
remove all metal shavings from them (deburr) before installing mounting screws.
9.2.1 Standard
U-Shaped
Bracket
1.
Using the U-shaped bracket (Item 1 in Table 4-3) as a template, mark and drill mounting holes
into the mounting surface as required. It can be mounted under or on top of the dash as required
and as space permits. Screws for mounting the bracket are not included, as all installations differ.
Self-threading screws are recommended.
2.
Install and tighten the mounting screws.
3.
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.
9.2.2 Mounting
Pedestal
(Optional)
An optional mounting pedestal, part number MACDOS0012, may be purchased separately to replace the
standard U-shaped mounting bracket. See Figure 9-2.

9.3 ATTACH CONTROL HEAD TO BRACKET
The following procedure applies to the standard U-shaped mounting bracket:
1.
Slide the Control Head into the bracket then start a thumbscrew (Item 2 in Table 4-3) in each side by
inserting it through the hole in the bracket and then into the threaded hole in the side of the Control
Head. Turn each thumbscrew clockwise as observed from the head of the screw.
