11.1.5 Mounting the Remote U-Bracket
The remote U-bracket with its self-drilling screws, is used to install the remote
control-head assembly on the dashboard or on any sufficiently flat surface.
Caution When drilling holes in the vehicle, check that drilling
at the selected points will not damage existing wiring.
Important Check that the remote U-bracket is not distorted when the
screws are tightened.
1. Drill any holes required for cables and install suitable grommets or
bushings in the holes.
2. If precise positioning is required, predrill 3mm (1/8 inch) pilot
holes for the self-drilling screws. Reduce the hole size in metal that
is less than 1mm (1/32 inch) thick.
3. Screw the remote U-bracket in the chosen mounting position using the
self-drilling screws provided. Use all four screws provided.

The adaptor flange and control-

the control head through the two screw holes at the rear of the
control-head interface.
