VI. Installation Instructions
Warning: Mounting System not intended to support plumbing or absorb stress
from plumbing. See Figure 3.
A. Extender
1 Remove nuts (#2) and lock washers from lower mounting clamp/bracket. Loosen nuts
(#1) just enough to allow clamp/bracket to rotate on unit (for shipment, nuts (#1) were
tightened against surface “A” of the clamp body to hold the clamp in place.) See Figure 5.
2 Remove bolts, lock washers, thrust washers, and nuts from the uppe r
mounting bracket. See Figure 6 .
Position unit onto the support structure (recommended clearance hole size for upper bolts
and lower u-bolt is 0.516-0.531 diameter) making sure the “C” surface of both the upper
mounting clamp and the lower bracket/clamp fully contact the support structure. See
Figure 4. Make sure that the clamp at the end is positioned in the retention groove of the
inlet adapter. Reinstall upper mounting bracket bolts and lower mounting bracket nuts (#2)
only enough to compress the lock washers about half way.
3 On the lower mounting bracket/clamp, position (#1) nuts loosely against surface “A” of
the mounting bracket/clamp. In small even increments, tighten (#2) nuts to 33-35 ft/lbs.
Check to see that the (#1) nuts remained loose, if either of them are tight against surface
“B” loosen them and recheck the torque on (#2) nuts.
4 Tighten lower mounting bracket (#1) nuts against surface “B” to 65-75 ft/lbs in 10 lb
increments. There is a thrust washer on the surface “B” side of (#1) nuts.
5 Tighten upper mounting bracket bolts and nuts to 65-75 ft/lbs in 10 lb increments.
6 Connect upper plug on power extension harness to plug on Elkhart “RF” monitor base.
Secure bottom end of power extension harness as required. Connect monitor power
harness 36820000 supplied with Elkhart “RF” monitor to bottom connection of power
extension harness. See monitor wiring section of Elkhart “RF” monitor instructions for
power & fusing requirements.
7 Minimize stress to mounting system by connecting inlet to water supply with flexible
hose.
