Garmin GPSMAP 396, GPSMAP 296, GPSMAP 196 Mount Instructions

The long clamp adjustment knob shaft can protrude too far down when fully tightened onto larger type control shafts and center column arms, creating an obstruction or hazard. Use the short clamp adjustment knob to remove the obstruction.

To replace clamp adjustment knobs:

1. Remove the rubber padding from the lower clamp by carefully peeling it away to reveal the Allen screw. This screw secures the lower clamp to the long clamp adjustment knob.

2. Use the supplied Allen wrench to remove the screw, washer, and lower clamp from the long clamp adjustment knob.

3. Remove the long clamp adjustment knob by turning it counter-clockwise.

4. Install the short clamp adjustment knob by turning it clockwise until it protrudes through the clamp frame.

5. Reassemble the washer and Allen screw onto the short clamp adjustment knob and tighten.

6. Reinstall the rubber padding.

NOTE: Verify the lower clamp is properly oriented in the clamp frame as illustrated.

A cable clamp is provided on the top of the yoke mount to secure the 12-Volt adapter cable provided with the GPSMAP 196/296/396. If you intend to use your GPSMAP 196/296/396 primarily in an aircraft and not in an automobile, you can secure the cable with this clamp. Use of the clamp reduces the risk of loose wires becoming a hazard during operation of the aircraft controls.
