Radio Mounting

Locate the nearest available vehicle chassis ground mounting point and shorten the black

lead to remove excess cable length.

Install ring lugs (supplied) onto stripped end of power cable black lead, and onto stripped end

of red lead on fuse holder (see Figure 1-2).

Locate the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible and away from any hot engine

component. Mount the fuse holder via the mounting hole and dress wires as necessary.

Connect the fuse holder red adaptor lead plug to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the

power cable (see Figure 1-2).

Connect the power cable black lead directly to the vehicle chassis ground.

Connect the power cable red lead from the fuse holder to the positive (+) battery terminal.

Make sure the adaptor cable is connected to the main power cable red lead.

Plug fuse into in-line fuse holder (see Figure 1-2).

Note:

Failure to mount the red lead of the power cable kit directly to the battery may result in

severe alternator whine interference.

FIREWALL

Note:

If the Black Lead is connected to battery (-) terminal an additional 10A fuse in the black

lead should be implemented.

Select the location to mount your radio either on the Transmission Hump or Under the Dash

(see Figure 1-5). By mounting the trunnion on the transmission hump take care the

transmission housing is not affected.

mounting surface. Use the innermost three holes for a curved mounting surface such as the

transmission hump and the three outmost holes for a ﬂat surface such as under the dash.

Centre-punch the spots you have marked and drill a 4 mm Ø hole at each.

Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the three screws provided. (see Figure 1-5)

Slide the radio into the trunnion. Secure the radio with the two thumb screws provided (see
