4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your wall mounts:

1. Choose a Location: Select a suitable, flat, and sturdy surface on your caravan or motorhome for mounting. Ensure the location allows easy access to the crank handle when stored.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Place one wall mount against the chosen surface. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the two screw holes. Repeat for the second mount, ensuring they are spaced appropriately to securely hold your Omnistor crank handle. The distance between the two mounts should correspond to the length of the crank handle's shaft.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for your mounting surface and screw size, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions.
4. Attach Mounts: Align each wall mount with its pilot holes. Insert the provided screws and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
