4. Setup and Installation

The Givi Smart Mount_RC S904B is designed for mounting on a vehicle's brake fluid reservoir. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Identify Mounting Location: Locate the brake fluid reservoir on your motorcycle or scooter. The mount's base is designed to fit over the reservoir cap or an adjacent flat surface, utilizing existing screw points.
2. Prepare the Area: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free from debris. If necessary, temporarily remove the existing screws from the reservoir cap or mounting plate.
3. Position the Base: Place the base of the S904B mount over the desired mounting points. Ensure it sits flush and does not interfere with the reservoir's function or other controls.
4. Secure the Base: Use the provided screws and washers to firmly attach the mount's base to the vehicle. Tighten the screws evenly until the base is secure, but do not overtighten.
5. Adjust the Arm: The mount features an adjustable ball joint system. Loosen the locking ring or knob on the arm to allow movement. Position the smartphone holder interface to your preferred viewing angle and reach.
6. Lock the Position: Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the locking ring or knob to secure the arm in place. Ensure it is firm and does not move freely.
7. Attach Smartphone Holder: Connect your compatible Givi smartphone holder (sold separately) to the interface on the S904B support. Refer to your smartphone holder's manual for specific attachment instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the Givi Smart Mount_RC S904B is securely installed and your compatible smartphone holder is attached, operating it is straightforward:

• Attaching a Smartphone: Follow the instructions provided with your specific Givi smartphone holder to securely attach your smartphone. Ensure the device is firmly seated and locked into the holder before riding.
• Adjusting Viewing Angle: If further adjustment of the viewing angle is needed, carefully loosen the locking ring on the S904B mount's arm, reposition the holder, and then re-tighten the ring firmly. Perform this adjustment only when the vehicle is stationary.
• Detaching a Smartphone: Follow the instructions provided with your specific Givi smartphone holder to safely remove your smartphone.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Givi Smart Mount_RC S904B, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check that all screws and fasteners remain tight.
• Lubrication: The ball joint mechanism typically does not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the joint.

7. Troubleshooting

• Mount feels loose after installation:

  Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. Check that the base is sitting flush against the mounting surface. If the issue persists, verify that the correct screws and spacers (if applicable) were used for your specific brake fluid reservoir.
• Smartphone holder wobbles or changes position:

  Tighten the locking ring or knob on the adjustable arm firmly. Ensure the smartphone holder itself is correctly attached to the S904B interface according to its own instructions.

• Difficulty attaching the mount to the brake fluid reservoir:

  Verify that the mount's base is compatible with the screw pattern and dimensions of your vehicle's brake fluid reservoir. Some vehicles may require specific adapters or may not be compatible. Consult your vehicle's manual or a Givi dealer for compatibility information.
