INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Prior to beginning the installation, read the
ENTIRE
“Installation” section of this manual. Since the
MODEL Apex 570
truck mount weighs over
1000 lbs., please adhere to the following recommendations prior to installing the unit.
1.
The unit should
NOT
be installed in any motor vehicle rated less than 3/4 ton capacity.
!
DO NOT
exceed the vehicle’s payload capacity. This will prevent unsafe or hazardous driving conditions. Before
installing any components into the vehicle, check with the vehicle manufacturer for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). GVWR is the maximum allowable combined weight of the vehicle, including all passengers, fuel, fluids, tools
and cargo.
2.
If mounting the unit in a trailer, ensure that the trailer is rated for the total weight of the unit and trailer. Electric
or hydraulic brakes must be provided, and strict compliance with all State and Federal laws must be maintained.
3.
If mounting in a trailer, the MODEL Apex 570 console must be positioned so that it balances properly with
respect to the trailer axle. Ten percent (10%) of the unit’s total overall weight (w/o accessories or water) should
be on the tongue. This unit has an air cooled engine, and adequate ventilation must be provided to prevent
overheating.
4.
Sapphire Scientific does not recommend using any type of flooring materials that absorb water. This condition
will result in rust and corrosion of the vehicle floor.
5.
Insulation under rubber mats should be removed prior to installation of the unit.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use unleaded fuel ONLY.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do Not
use high
octane gasoline. Gasoline with up to, not exceeding, 10% ethanol is acceptable.
NOTE:
Using other gasoline/alcohol blends including E20 and E85 will cause damage to engine components and will void
warranty.
