4.1 Installation
Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
4.2 Mounting
Mount the wireless adaptor bracket to the Air Management Hub using the
screw attached to the Air Management Hub. (Recommended torque: 0.3
±10% N•m). Then attach the cable EXW1-AC1-X1 to the wireless adaptor
and Air Management Hub. (When inserting the cable into the Wireless
adaptor, use an insertion force of 10 N or less).
Mount the adaptor to the bracket of the Air Management Hub using the
M10 nut already installed to the wireless adaptor (Recommended torque:
0.9 ±10% N•m).
