Note: If you are purchasing just the control unit we assume that you have a suitable loud horn that you

Step 1: Mounting the Horn (full system only, for control unit only orders skip to step 3)

To begin fitting the Screaming Banshee™ system to your vehicle, it’s best to start by mounting the horn itself. Examine
your vehicle for a suitable spot to mount the horn. Closer to vertical is preferred as well as in a place where rain water
is less likely to get into the flute of the horn. You don’t want it to face directly into oncoming rain. We recommend
that you mount the compressor vertically, but being 20 - 30 degrees off from vertical typically works without problem.
Just use common sense.

Use the included Stainless steel metric bolt, nut & washer. (8mm x 1.25mm pitch)

If you cannot find a suitable place to conceal the horn, there are two other options. Firstly you can find an exposed place and mount the horn so it’s “on show”. Alternatively, we
can supply a smaller horn that is almost as loud and a bit closer to the size of a stock horn – contact us about this if you need a smaller horn – but remember, it won’t be as loud!

Step 2: Mounting The Screaming Banshee™ horn Control Unit

Find a place to mount the control unit that is close to the stock horn and also close to the new Screaming Banshee™ horn. Secure with the supplied cable tie to a convenient
chassis member or even to plastic bodywork. The control unit does not need to be readily accessible, except for the initial setting up. Mount it so it won’t fill up with water if it is
going to be exposed.
