PLACEMENT
1) Ensure that the driver’s view of the road will not be
impacted.
2) Ensure that the equipment will not be in the path of any
active airbags.
3) Ensure that the driver will still have access to all controls on
the dash.
4) Ensure that the driver has a clear view of the terminal from
the seated driving position.
5) Ensure that the terminal is within easy reach of the driver
from the seated driving position.
6) Ensure that the mounting location is a solid surface.
Locations that allow even small amounts of initial movement
will loosen over time.
7) Before drilling any holes or using screws, check for vehicle
wiring under the carpet or behind the instrument panel which
could be pinched, cut or otherwise damaged.
8) If mounting through the floor, put body sealer over the
underbody projections. Stamped acorn nuts, filled with
sealer, are available at most body shops for this purpose.
This will keep moisture out of the carpet and insulation and
will forestall rust in this area.
9) If mounting under the instrument panel, be sure that there is
no interference with proper operation of the foot controls.
10) Inquire if the vehicle will be cleaned with a high pressure
water wand. If so, ensure that all equipment is installed
somewhere that will be protected from this type of cleaning.
