Setup and Installation
The 1002IMPR canister offers straightforward installation using either bolts or zip-ties. It features two mounting holes: one 1/4" hole on the front and one 3/8" hole on the back.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Drill (if creating new mounting points)
- Appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts (for bolt-on installation)
- Heavy-duty zip-ties (for zip-tie installation)

Installation Steps:
- Select Mounting Location: Choose a secure and accessible location on your motorcycle, ATV, tractor, or trailer. Ensure the location does not obstruct vehicle operation, moving parts, or safety features.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the canister in the desired position and mark the locations for the two mounting holes.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: If drilling new holes, ensure the surface is suitable and free from electrical wires or fuel lines. Drill holes appropriate for your chosen fasteners (1/4" for the front hole, 3/8" for the back hole).
- Secure the Canister:
- Bolt-on Method: Align the canister's mounting holes with the prepared holes. Insert bolts with washers through the canister and mounting surface, then secure with nuts and washers on the other side. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
