Mounting Locations
Placement
1.
Ensure that the driver’s view of the road will not be impacted.
2.
Ensure that the equipment will not be in the path of any active airbags.
3.
Ensure that the driver will still have access to all controls on the dash.
4.
Ensure that the driver has a clear view of the terminal from the seated driving position.
5.
Ensure that the terminal is within easy reach of the driver from the seated driving position.
6.
Ensure that the mounting location is a solid surface. Locations that allow even small amounts of
initial movement will loosen over time.
7.
Before drilling any holes or using screws, check for vehicle wiring under the carpet or behind the
instrument panel which could be pinched, cut or otherwise damaged.
8.
If mounting through the floor, put body sealer over the underbody projections.
9.
Stamped acorn nuts, filled with sealer, are available at most body shops for this purpose. This
will keep moisture out of the carpet and insulation and will forestall rust in this area.
10.
If mounting under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interference with proper
operation of the foot controls.
11.
Inquire if the vehicle will be cleaned with a high pressure water wand. If so, ensure that all
equipment is installed somewhere that will be protected from this type of cleaning.
