Installation
• If your place of residence and/or installation location is not solely your property, seek permission from the property owner
before attempting any type of drilling.
• Do not under any circumstances use a standard drill. This may cause severe damage to the tool and/or result in personal
injury. Use a hammer drill and/or a type of drill suited for use with the type of material you are drilling through.
• It is recommended to measure the drill bit from the end. Tape off the bit so that 50mm (about 2 in) is left exposed. This will
help you know when you have drilled deep enough into the ground.
• When driving any type of vehicle, be advised to avoid bumping or knocking down the lock.
Step 1. Lift the arm then use the included keys to unlock the Cover and set it aside.

Step 4. Use a hammer drill and a 15/32” masonry drill bit to drill three holes (0.47 in x 1.97 in deep) into the ground.
Step 5. Remove the Nuts and Washers from the Sleeve Anchors. Insert the anchors into the holes in the ground and use a
mallet to tap each one a few times to secure them.
Step 6. Retrieve the Parking Lock and position it so that the ends of the anchors t through the Mounting Holes. Add the
Washers and Nuts then tighten the Nuts with a wrench.
Step 5 Step 6Step 4
Step 7. Open the Battery Box, put 4x D batteries (not included) into the Battery Box and close it. Then use a screwdriver to
reinstall the box into the lock. Be careful not to overtighten this screw; the box should sit at within the lock.
Step 8. Making sure the arm is still raised, connect the Battery Box to the lock via its cable.
DO NOT touch the lock’s arm. Once the Battery Box is fully installed, the lock may immediately receive power and turn on
the alarm if the arm is bumped or moved.
Step 9. Replace the cover and use the keys to lock it in place. Continue to the next section to control the lock.
