Hardware Guide

Note: The 2 Backstrap (SE-1003) can be used in some applications to add additional support or used in custom installations. The backstrap may mount to the sides of the radio chassis using the provided screws in the existing mounting locations or can be mounted directly to the Plastic Dash Mounting Bracket.

1 Remove the clamp assembly from the plastic mounting bracket by pushing up from compression spring side (1) and swing out to unhook top (2).

2 Pre-Assembly

Double DIN Applications: Attach the Metal Bracket to the Plastic Dash Mounting Bracket using M4 X 6 screws. Attach metal bracket and plastic dash mounting bracket assembly to the Radio Module using M4 X 6 screws.

Single DIN Applications : For Single DIN installations, the Plastic Dash Mounting Bracket will be mounted in the dash kit the dash kit and the Radio Module will be mounted remotely. Before beginning the installation, determine where the Radio Module will be installed and make sure the Display Cables are long enough.  Longer, 5 foot cables are available (SE-1501 & SE-1502).

3  Display Assembly

The display can be installed Flat or with a Horizontal Angle towards the driver. For flat mounting, attach the Clamp Assembly (1) to the display using M4 X 14 screws (FIG. A). If a horizontal angle is desired, insert the Angle Plate (2) in between the clamp and display and replace 2 of the M4 X 14 screws with longer M4 X 18 screws on the thicker side of the angle plate (FIG. B). Center the bracket on the back of the display as a starting point, and if needed you can adjust up or down.

Multiple Mounting Options
ELEV8 can be configured for different mounting applications:

Display Adjustment & Mounting

1. Install the dash kit side brackets to the main frame.

2. Making sure to use all 8 screws, loosely attach the radio module & mounting bracket assembly to the side kit brackets (FIG. C).
   a. (4x) #10 X 3/8 screws for the plastic mounting bracket locations
   b. (4x) M5 X 10 or (4x) M4 X 10 screws for the radio module locations (use any combination of screws to locate the radio in the best position)

3. Attach the display to the bracket assembly by hooking bottom spring hook and then pushing up and hooking top hooks. (FIG. D)

4. Determine the desired position of the display:
   a. Display can be vertical or tilted up (FIG. E)
   b. Display can slide up or down (Page 7)
   c. Display can be tilted horizontally (Page 7 – FIG. B)
   Note: There are multiple mounting holes on the mounting bracket to allow adjusting the mounting depth. You may drill additional holes in the mounting bracket and/or the dash kit brackets to align the display in the best position and ensure you can use all 8 mounting screws.
   VERTICAL TILT: Use Hole A for no vertical tilt or Hole B for 8 degrees of vertical tilt. Insert a M5 X 10 on each side of the clamp assembly at desired tilt.

5. Once in the desired position, tighten screws to the radio chassis (top) and mounting bracket assembly (bottom).
   Note: If the display prevents the factory dash panel(s) from being installed last, do not push the display all the way up against the dash kit. Leave enough bottom gap as the display’s bottom edge rotates towards the dash kit.

6. Remove the display from the bracket assembly by pushing up from compression spring side (1) and swing out to unhook top (2). (FIG. F)
   Note: If there is a depth issue with the radio module in the top position, move it to the bottom location by inverting the mounting bracket assembly. (FIG. G)
