VEHICLE MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Using the vehicle mount, you can attach your Monarch Sierra Sport4™
9493 printer to a forklift or other vehicle.

keep the printer’s battery charged. The input voltage range is 12-72V.
Refer to the printer’s Operator’s Handbook available on our Web site
(www.monarch.com) for important battery information.
