SECTION 2 – About your Audio Shade Top
2.1 Applicable Year Models:
This Audio Shade off-road top is designed to fit Honda Pioneer 1000-5 models.
2016-2022 Pioneer 1000-5 (all trim levels)
2.2 Audio Equipment Details:
Your Audio Shade off-road top is powered by using their
premium quality power sports series audio equipment. This equipment is designed to
function in all weather conditions with an IPX6 water resistance (powerful water jet)
rating. The stereo is specifically engineered to provide excellent sound quality and
volume in an open air power sports enviroment so you can enjoy your music on the go.
To learn more details about your stereo system, you can access product information and
manuals for the stereo equipment here:

Your amplifier gains comes pre-adjusted from the factory and are tuned for optimum
sound quality and system protection. This means you can feel free to crank the volume
without much worry of harming your system. However, it is wise to use a little common
sense. If you hear any distortion, back off a little. We recommend you do not adjust the
gains from the factory settings without first consulting Hoppe Industries.
Please note that your subwoofer will take 20 to 30 hours of play time to fully break in and
reach its maximum output. You do not need to do anything different during this break in

period. In fact, the more you listen and the louder you turn it up, the quicker you will
reach the maximum potential. Use the equalizer settings in your KMC2 receiver to adjust
the bass as needed throughout the break in period.
2.3 Warranty:
Your Audio Shade comes equipped with a 1 year limited warranty covering the lights, the
stereo equipment, and the fiberglass top. The date of warranty coverage will be
determined by the registration date of the warranty card or online warranty registration.
http://www.motortrike.com/TrikeAccWarranty.aspx
If the warranty is not registered with Hoppe, the warranty period will begin when the
Audio Shade was shipped from Hoppe's factory.
2.4 Care and Maintenance:
Your off-road top does not require any maintenance other than an occasional cleaning. To
clean your top, simply hose off or power wash from a distance. If needed, use a mild
automotive soap and sponge or brush. Use common sense. Do not use a high pressure
power washer up close where it could cut, scar, or force water beyond the design intent of
the top, lights, or stereo equipment.
The fuse box for the amplifier, radio, light bars, and interior lights can be accessed by
removing the cover plate located on the underside of your roof.
There is also a mini 40 amp ignition relay built into the chassis harness near the battery
terminal end of the harness, as shown in Figure 1.

plastic cover shown in Figure 2.
2.5 Warnings:
This off-road top adds up to 150 lbs. to your vehicle and is located up high on the roll
cage. This increases the vehicles center of gravity and changes the vehicle dynamics and
handling characteristics. Use extra caution as you learn the driving characteristics of your
vehicles performance with your new off-road top installed. High speed cornering, off
camber or side hill, acceleration, and braking performance will be negatively impacted by
the weight of the top.
Do not listen to your stereo at an uncomfortable volume for extended periods of time.
Potential hearing loss may result.
The driving lights provided with your Audio Shade are blinding to oncoming drivers.
These are made for off road use only, and should be turned off when another vehicle is
approaching on the trail.

Included in your off-road top are the following components:
Pre-assembled Audio Shade off-road top. (All speakers and electronics come
preinstalled with interior wire harness.)

the top. Save the hardware for installation. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Figure 3: Remove the 6 clamps from the top.

Figure 4: Close up of cage clamp hardware.
2. Spread the clamps by hand and slide them over the cage tubing. Place them on the
cage in the approximate locations shown in Figure 5. Note the orientation of the
clamp tab. It must line up with the hole, flat against the top, on the correct side of
the tubing.

3. Using a few assistants, set the Audio Shade off-road top on the cage. The top is
contoured such that the cage fits inside the grooves on the top. Note: The top
weighs up to 150 lbs. depending on your configuration. Since you will have to
lift and reach, it is helpful to have 4 people for this step. See Figure 6.

4. Slide the clamps into position so they line up with the threaded holes in the top.
For the two rear clamps and two front clamps, install the 3/8-16 x 1” bolts with
washers through both clamp tabs and into the threaded hole in the top. For the
center two clamps, install 3/8-16 x 1 ¼” bolts. Note: if you install the wrong
bolt in the wrong location, it may push against the outer skin of the top and
damage the surface. Use caution. Use blue Loctite 243 (medium strength) and
torque the bolts to 25 ft.*lbs. See Figure 4.
5. Remove the radiator hood access panel from the front of the vehicle by lifting and
rotating the ¼ turn clips, lifting the hood, and sliding it towards the front of the
vehicle. See Figure 7.

See Figure 10.
Figure 10: Remove the firewall access panel.

chassis tube (“B pillar”). The ends with the battery terminals and relay block
extend through the plastic trim, into the area under the driver’s side seat. Note:
The plastic rivet on the trim must be temporarily removed so the relay connector
can fit through the opening. See Figure 11.

12. Once under the center seat, feed the harness under the center floor board area up
to the firewall access panel. Follow the path of the coolant pipes.

black ground wire to the negative terminal of the battery. Use the supplied M6 x
20mm bolts and washers in place of the factory hardware. You may need to use
two washers per bolt if the bolt bottoms out on the battery terminal before it
tightens the cables. See Figure 14.

back of the accessory cigarette lighter as shown in Figure 17. This connection
point is accessible through the hood opening under the rubber protector (Figure 17
from wheel well shown for a better view). The male connector on the chassis
harness can then be connected to the OEM female connector.
