Installation Planning

Safety, Reliability, and Accessibility

  • Use eye protection when using a drill/performing work that may be hazardous to the eyes.
  • Use ear protection in noisy work areas.
  • Wear appropriate clothing/uniforms and safety shoes.
  • Maintain three points of contact when climbing in and out of cab.
  • Make sure you know what is behind the area before you drill.
  • Install equipment so it will not cause damage to the vehicle or work loose over time.
  • Make sure there are no loose components/cables and no unsecured components.
  • Use solid mounting surfaces.
  • Route all cables away from hot or abrasive areas.
  • Choose installation locations where components can be easily serviced.
  • Choose installation locations where components are safe from tampering and damage
