Vehicle Power Supply Installation Guide 17
Use Method B where the back side of the mounting location is
inaccessible. Note that this method requires that the mounting
plate be thick enough to accept and retain sufficient thread to
provide a secure and reliable mechanical installation.
To use mounting method A
1 Mark and center punch the two mounting hole locations.
2 Use a 1/4” drill bit to make the two mounting holes.
3 Use 1/4” hex bolts with flat washers and locking nuts to
install the power supply.
To use mounting method B:
1 Mark and center punch the two mounting hole locations.
2 Use a #7 drill bit to make the mounting holes.
3 Use a 1/4-20 tap to thread the mounting holes.
4 Place a lock washer on each bolt.
5 Insert the bolt/lock washer assemblies through the power
supply holes and into the threaded mounting holes.
Installing the Power Cables
Follow these guidelines and other instructions closely when
installing power cables.
• Completely install power cables before making connections to
equipment.
• Route the power cables from the general area where the power
supply will be mounted.
• Use a snap-in bushing (requires a 9/16” hole) if the power
cable passes through a firewall or other sheet metal.
• Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other
equipment or vehicle controls.
• Ensure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.
Never work on a powered (hot) system.
