Warning
Incorrect installation of the horn speaker may result in death or serious
injury. The horn speaker could break loose due to the extreme forces applied during
a collision or braking.
■
Install the horn speaker only to a mounting surface or structural element and
in a location that can structurally support the weight of the horn speaker
(13.2lbs [1.4kg]) during a collision.

Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the mounting surface’s structure
and composition.
■
Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the mounting bracket has no
loose joints after installation.

fere with the operation of any of the vehicle controls.

thinner or other combustibles.

Protect the unit from exposure in snowy areas, as the weight of snow
build-up could cause the speaker to down or drop.
