Mounting The Cradle
8.8.4 Mounting The Cradle
• Mount the main chassis using four #8-32 machine screws and four #8-32
KEPS nuts.
Note: If mounting directly to wood, use four #8 wood screws.
• Replace the plastic cradle, securing it with two hex bolts (one per side).
• If a pedestal mount is used, adjust the angle of the cradle to the optimum
viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
8.8.5 Installing The Cables
Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider
the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating, and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps to prevent cables and connectors from loosening.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and
other potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may
damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
• Leave enough extra cable so that the terminal can be easily removed.
Note: Where applicable, ensure that the unit is mounted inside the roll cage.
8.8.6 Connecting A Cable
When a picker cradle is ordered with a peripheral cable:
• Connect one end of the cable to the accessory.
• Connect the other end to the 7035 itself.
• Secure the cable to avoid physical injury or damage to the cable.
