Prior to Installation
- Before attempting to use this unit you must first remove the packing safety lock pins (3 positions). Store these lock pins carefully so they can be used again if needed.
- Note: Reinstall these lock pins when shipping the unit back for repair.
- Decide on the installation place and direction.
- Insert an item such as a screwdriver with a fine point or the tip of a ballpoint pen into the round hole of the installation selector lever to switch to the position you need.
- Before shipment from the factory, the levers are normally placed in the horizontal position.
- Caution:
- Set the installation selector lever to the same position on both sides.
- When the unit is installed below the horizontal position (up to 15 degrees) the ejected magazine, when left in that position, will drop due to vibrations from the car.
- Adjust the installation selector levers into the correct locations. Setting the locations incorrectly or in varied positions will cause skipping.
- Do not move the installation selector levers while the unit is in use. This will cause damage to the mechanism and the disc.
Installation Procedure

- Use the wing nut to hold in place the installation bracket with bolt to the installation bracket, whic is attached to the unit. Then affix the cushion rubber.
- Remove the floor carpet and decide on the place to install. Adjust the installation bracket with bolts to suit the place of installation.
- Remove the separator of the cushion rubber that is attached to the installation bracket with bolt and install accordingly.
- Unfasten the wing nut and remove the unit.
