UNIT INSTALLATION
To install the unit refer to Figure 4. You must have a
minimum 3-3/8" hole in your dash or panel. Also, within 12",
you should dedicate space for a 3/8" hole for the control and
decal. Make sure that you will have enough room behind the
dash to accept the unit and control. The flasher unit and the
control each needs at least 3" of depth.
To mount the flasher unit, feed the transducer, power, and
control cables through the larger hole and set the unit into
place. From behind the panel, place the metal U bracket onto
the back of the unit so that the arms of the bracket will make
contact with a solid part of the backside of the panel. Make
sure the Zero Mark on the flasher display is at the 12 o’clock
position and then use the provided wing nut to tighten the
unit into place. If the stud protruding from the back of the
flasher is not long enough you can reduce the length of the
bracket arms using the marks to guide you. Use a pair of
pliers to snap off a section of each arm at the pre-cut
perforations.
Before you mount the control unit, first install the control
decal. Remove the peel-off backing and carefully place the
decal over the hole making sure that the hole in the decal
aligns with the hole in the dash and that the decal is straight
and level before you press it into place. Next, install a nut,
star washer onto the control shaft. Insert the control unit from
behind the panel into the 3/8" hole. Install the remaining nut
and star washer onto the shaft from the front side. The posi-
tion of the nuts will be determined by the thickness of the
