Safety and General Information
A properly installed VSM unit minimizes service calls. When mounting the VSM unit components, consider the
following factors:
• The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support the equipment being mounted and to prevent
it from becoming loose over time.
• Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle subjected to excessive vibration.
• Do not mount the VSM unit on a flat surface where the unit could become partially submersed in water.
• The proposed location of the equipment being mounted or wires/cables attached must not interfere with
driver/passenger seating or leg space.
• Select a location such that heat from the unit does not damage any wiring or any other plastic or
heat-sensitive parts of the automobile.
• Use the supplied mounting hardware.
• Leave sufficient space around the VSM unit for air flow and installation.
• Select a location that permits routing the cables as directly as possible.
• Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subject to heat from the engine, transmission housing or
heating ducts.
• Crimp connectors securely.
• Do not run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive wear or chaffing of the cable insulation.
• Do not install components in locations where they may cause interference to the operation of the vehicle's
controls.
