Cautions:
•
When drilling mounting holes, be careful to avoid damaging some vital part of the vehi-

Do not overtighten self-tapping screws.
1.
Once you have found a suitable mounting position for G3, hold the unit and the unattached mounting
bracket in the proposed mounting position and check that there is clearance behind the unit for the
heatsink, cables, etc. Check that the position provides a large enough flat surface that the bracket will
not be distorted when installed.
