as a template to mark and drill four holes in your intended mounting
surface. Secure the drive unit in position using bolts, washers and nuts
(not supplied)
• Alternatively, for a portable arrangement, fix a board to the base of
the drive unit which can be easily clamped and removed from various
mounting surfaces
