Identify a suitable area for mounting, preferably an unobstructed sheet-metal surface like the frame or body of
the vehicle so as to provide a firm platform which will help protect the horn from damage due to excessive
shaking. Do not attach the horn to any plastic or other flexible material.
Using the bracket as a guide estimate and mark the positions for the holes and then perforate to size using a
drill.
Use the provided mounting hardware to fasten the horn.
