The Head Unit - HE-VA AC-LITE User Manual

2.1 The Head Unit

Confirm with the operator on where to mount the head unit in the cab. It must not
restrict the view out of the cab, nor impede the use of the controls. The head unit is
fitted with a 1-metre flying lead terminating with an 8/10-way IDC type connector, ready
for connection into the "Terminator" junction box.
The head unit is supplied with mounting kit ref: TJ235 comprising the following parts
(fig. 2):
1 Long Bracket
1 Short Bracket
3 Clamping Knobs
1 Cover Plate
1 Mounting Plate
2 Self Tapping Screws
1. Snap the cover plate into the recess of the long
bracket (it only fits one way).
2. The instrument mount is designed to offer maximum
flexibility in positioning the head unit, either from the
right hand side of the cab, from the dashboard or
from an overhead position.
3. Assemble the two brackets, and mounting plate with
clamping knobs, and attach to the head unit.
NOTE: Either the long or short bracket can be
attached to the head unit, whichever gives the
most suitable orientation.
Having established the orientation for the
bracket, fix the mounting plate to the cab
with the self-tapping screws provided.
Do not drill into a ROPS or FOPS frame.
If you are fixing the mounting plate to plastic e.g. the dashboard or other cab moulding,
it is recommended to use M4 screws with mudwing washers to strengthen the
mounting point.
Do not attempt to adjust the mounting bracket assembly without first
slackening off the clamping knobs sufficiently. You will only succeed in
damaging the bracket otherwise.
