Instruction Manual

4 Install the 3-foot ground strap on one of the front shock mounts. Route it through the cable-
routing hole and connect the other end to the motorcycle frame (see Figure 111: Weather-
Resistant Enclosure Installation on page 116).
WARNING: DO NOT connect the ground strap directly to the negative battery post.
5 The diagram of the shock mount is shown loosely assembled. After the hex screws are
tightened, the rubber washers are compressed to fasten the weather-resistant enclosure
securely to the universal mounting plate.
6 Figure 113: Installing the Transceiver on page 119 is an exploded view of the enclosure; it
shows details that will help to understand how the enclosure is mounted. After the enclosure is
completely mounted, check for proper ground connection–continuity between the antenna
ground plane and the motorcycle frame.
