1. Preparation: Ensure you have all necessary tools (e.g., wrenches, screwdrivers) and the vehicle's mounting points are clean and accessible.

5. Final Tightening: Once the mirror head is in place, tighten all fasteners to secure the entire assembly.
6. Initial Adjustment: The loop with its preset device allows mirrors to fold away and return to the original position without readjustment. Perform an initial adjustment of the mirror glass to your preferred viewing angles.

Consult your vehicle's manufacturer manual for specific mounting locations and procedures if necessary.

5. Operating Instructions

The Velvac 701001 mirror system is designed for straightforward operation.

• Mirror Adjustment: Manually adjust the upper and lower mirror glass sections to achieve optimal rear and side visibility. Ensure blind spots are minimized.
• Folding Feature: The integrated preset device in the loop allows the entire mirror assembly to be folded away (e.g., for tight spaces or storage) and then returned to its original, pre-adjusted position without needing to re-adjust the mirror glass.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Velvac mirror system.

• Cleaning: Clean mirror glass and housing with a mild automotive glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting hardware, clamps, and the loop assembly for tightness and signs of corrosion or damage. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Lubrication: If the folding mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points of the loop assembly.
• Damage: In case of significant damage to the mirror glass or housing, replace the affected components promptly to maintain safety and visibility.
