Mechanical Mounting
The OutdoorNav Starter Kit can be mounted directly using either its 80 X 80 mm or 120 X 120 mm hole pattern as shown in the following image.
On Jackal, mount the kit using the standard 120 X 120 hole pattern at the front of Jackal.
On Husky, mount the kit on the leading edge of the top plate. Where a PACS-compatible top plate exists, the kit can be mounted directly. When using an older Husky without a PACS-compatible top plate, it will be necessary to drill your own holes.
