Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool and disconnected from the battery. Clear the rear engine bay of any obstructions.
2. Positioning: Align the mounting plate with the pre‑drilled holes in the chassis. Verify that the elastomeric pads face the correct direction to absorb vibrations.
3. Fastening: Insert M12 bolts through the mounting and chassis holes. Tighten to the specified torque (15 Nm) using a calibrated torque wrench.
4. Verification: Check for any play or misalignment. Re‑tighten if necessary. Inspect the elastomeric pads for proper seating.
5. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and listen for abnormal noises. Perform a short drive to confirm smooth operation.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Inspect elastomeric pads annually; replace if cracked or degraded.
• Check bolt torque every 10,000 km or after any major impact event.
• Avoid over‑tightening bolts to preserve the integrity of the mounting material.

Benefits for Vehicle Owners

• Enhanced ride comfort through superior vibration isolation.
• Reduced engine noise inside the cabin, improving overall driving experience.
