Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine bay is clean and free of debris. Verify that all fasteners are in good condition.
2. Positioning: Align the mounting plate with the existing engine bracket holes, ensuring the rubber pads face the engine block.
3. Fastening: Insert M12 bolts through the pre‑drilled holes and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 80–100 Nm).
4. Verification: Check for any play or misalignment. Re-tighten if necessary.
5. Final Inspection: Inspect the mounting surface for scratches or damage that could compromise the seal between the engine and mount.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodically inspect the rubber pads for signs of wear, cracking, or oil contamination. Replace if necessary to maintain vibration isolation.
• Check bolt torque every 10,000 km or during major service intervals to prevent loosening due to engine vibrations.
• Avoid over‑tightening bolts, which can damage the mounting plate or cause stress concentrations.
• Keep the mounting area free from oil and coolant leaks that could degrade the rubber pads.
