INSTALL STEPS – Roll Cage
Reference the illustration FIG 1-1 to confirm which components are needed for each STEP.
Items on the list are called out with brackets [X].
STEP 1 – Choose the appropriate Top Tube Clamp [1] for your roll cage diameter. We have included 1.5, 1.75, and 2-inch clamps.
STEP 2 – Insert 2 slide lugs [2] into the mounting channel on top of the soundbar. You want these lugs to be left and right in the channel.
NOTE – Use some lightweight painter’s tape to mark where you will want the clamping system on the left-right side of your roll cage. The following assembly should remain loose until you know you have the correct position. Only use hand tools do not over-tighten.
STEP 3 – Mount the Tube Clamp Base [3] to the Channel Slide Lug [2] using two [4/5] M5X10 screws. Make sure to prep both the left and right sides of the soundbar. Position the hooked edge of the Clamp Base to the back of the sound bar – screw holes to the front.
STEP 4 – With your assistant lifting the sound bar into position, you will confirm that the wires on the sound bar are not pinched and remain accessible on both ends.
STEP 5 – With the sound bar still held in the air by your helper, you will use the Top Tube Clamp to lock on the back of the Tube Clamp Base and use two [4/5] M5X10 screws per side (left/right) to mount the sound bar `the roll cage.
NOTE – Use hand tools to secure these screws to avoid damage to the sound bar or the vehicle.
Do not fully tighten the screws until you are confident of your positioning.
STEP 5 – Once your positioning is confirmed, use your hand tools to fully tighten the screws on the clamp. Your clamping system should not move left/right. If it is loose, you need to tighten the screws shown in STEP 2.
NOTE – Once the Soundbar is in the final position, remove any painter’s tape that is visible
STEP 6 – Wire up the sound bar
