MOUNTING THE PowerDock
Mounting Surface Requirements
WARNING
Do not
mount the PowerDock to non-permanent/moveable floor panels in your vehicle.
The Dock must be permanently mounted to a fixed structural part of the vehicle, or to a surface
that is rated to hold a minimum of 500 kg (1102 lb).
Before you begin mounting the PowerDock, ensure that the following mounting surface
requirements will be met:
Inspect the mounting surfaces to make sure they are flat and safe to drill. Check the reverse
side of the mounting surface before drilling any holes in order to avoid drilling into any object
accidentally.
The mounting surface for the PowerDock should comprise a single layer rather than multiple
layers (such as a steel tray with plastic tub liner).
Sheet metal mounting surface must have a minimum thickness of 1 mm (3/64").
Large sections of unsupported or non-structural mounting surfaces will require additional
c-section or similar underside support/reinforcement. This includes surfaces such as sheet metal
that is thin or has nearby folds, welds etc., composite boards, plywood, or timber.
