• To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and study the pictures carefully.
• Make sure that your installation location will not allow the Ocular Arm to come into contact with any object, and that there is a minimum clearance of 6 inches from the top of the arm to the ceiling or nearest object.
• Ensure when folded away, the arms will not come into contact with your vehicle or any other object, hooks, screws or any other hazard that might disrupt the operation of the arm opening and closing.
• Make sure that all connections and screws are secured tightly.
• Because of the Ocular Arm’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. It is recommended that you check the fasteners monthly and ensure they are secured. If they are loose, tighten.
