How to use the Mongoose Locking Slide Arm:

The Mongoose Locking Slide Arm is designed to accommodate four motions of
adjustment. The first being a 360 degree swivel that is actuated by the front handle.
Pulling out on the handle releases the gear latch located in the base and allows the
mount to swivel. To latch the arm in place, position the arm in the desired location and
release the spring loaded handle. Wiggle the arm back and forth to make sure the
handle has engaged the teeth on the gear.

The second motion is the slide. To actuate the slide, pull out and hold the spring
loaded pin. Pull the mount forward a minimum of 1/2" before releasing the pin to
ensure the mount does not latch back in the stowed position. Once you have released
the pin, pull forward on the mount until it is located in the desired position.

The third motion is the motion attatchment swivel. The motion attatchment can
swivel 360 degrees.

The fourth motion is the tilt. The amount will vary depending on the type of motion
attachment.

Note: Do not use this product if the latch mechanism is disabled or missing. The

product should be out of the airbag zone with the slide in the latched position when

the

vehicle is in use.

accident.

•If installation of the equipment requires that the equipment be placed in front of an airbag,
deactivate the airbag in the vehicle so it cannot be activated in an accident. In order to
secure permission for deactivating the airbag in these circumstances, contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1-800-424-9393 to gain permission to do so. If you
have any questions or need assistance, call Gamber-Johnson at 1-800-456-6868.
