INSTALLATION NOTES
· To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions
and study the pictures carefully. · Make sure that your installation location
will not allow the Ocular Arm to come into contact with any object,
and that there is a minimum clearance of 6 inches from the top of the arm to
the ceiling or nearest object. Ensure when folded away, the arms will not come
into contact with your vehicle or any other object, hooks, or screws or any
other hazard that might disrupt the operation of the arm opening and closing.
· Make sure that all connections and screws are secured tightly. · Because of
Ocular Arm’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. It is recommended
that you check the fasteners monthly and ensure they are secured. If they are
loose, tighten.
