| With little practice your MITI-RHINO Vehicle Immobilizer can be
securely attached to a vehicle's wheel in 30-60 seconds or less.
Bi-directional stand design provides for attachment to either the,
front or rear of a wheel, left or right wheel, front or back wheel.
As vehicle design may limit installation to a specific wheel your
MITI-Rhino immobilizers design will provide you maximum flexibility
and function. Simply turn over immobilizer to use in a different
direction or to attach to a different wheel. |
| CAUTION: Make sure traffic area is clear
of traffic before attempting attachment! |
1. Place your MITI-RHINO Immobilizer on the ground with the bolt
tube facing away from the vehicle. Insert the Secur-Key into the
bolt tube, push in while rotating the key until the Secur-Bolts
machined head indexes into the key. Rotate the Secur-Key counter
clock-wise until you are able to fully open the inner Immobilizer
jaw. Leave the key in place.
2. Check to insure that the dome will fit down flush with the
wheel, wheel trim disk or hub cap. If not you may have to remove
the wheel trim disk or hubcap.
3. Pick up Immobilizer with both hands, or as an alternative,
place the bottom of the stand on the ground or pavement directly
in front of the wheel you wish to attach the immobilizer to.
Then follow steps 4,5, 6 and 7.
4. While holding the Immobilizer arms open, slide the inner immobilizer
arms tip (end) along the inside of the tire until you feel the
tip fall into place between the wheel and the wheels backing plate
or wheel drum. Visually check or feel with fingers to insure that
the immobilizers inner arm tip is in place and engaged within
the inner wheel. If the inner immobilizer arms tip is not properly
engaged or is merely resting on the tire or backing plate or other
the Immobilizer cannot be properly
installed. The tip must be indexed into the wheel between the
wheels backing plate or wheel drum. The stop located on the outer
side of the of the Indexing arm's tip will generally come in contact
with the backing plate, wheel drum or tie rod end. This contact
will prevent the immobilizer from continuing to rotate inward
during the installation process.
5. Engage outer dome against the outer wheel or hub cap as you
perform the above procedure. Adjust the dome to properly center
on the wheel as you bring it into position. Note: The tension
spring will aid in the attachment process.
6. When the immobilizer is properly in position hold it in place
with one hand while you tighten the Secur-Bolt. Remember to turn
the Secur-Bolt clockwise until the inner immobilizer arm and outer
immobilizer dome is snugly attached to the wheel. It is normal
and desirable for the self centering guide located on the inner
side of the outer arm to dent in the tire at point of contact,
this will not damage the tire.
|
| CAUTION; BE SURE TO TIGHTEN BOLT UNTIL DOME MAKES POSITIVE CONTACT
WITH WHEEL OR HUB CAP. THE TIRE STOP LOCATED ON THE INNER SIDE OF
THE OUTER ARM IS DESIGNED TO PRESS IN AT THE TIRE, DENTING IN THE
FLEXIBLE RUBBER, PREVENTING SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT OF THE IMMOBILIZER.
MERELY TIGHTENING THE SECUR-BOLT UNTIL THE STOP MAKES CONTACT AGAINST
THE TIRE, LEAVING A GAP BEHIND THE DOME MAY ENABLE THE IMMOBILIZER
TO BE REMOVED BY DEFLATION OF THE TIRE OR BY INSERTION OF A PRY
BAR. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AS YOU MAY DAMAGE HUB CAP OR YOUR MITI-RHINO
BOOT. A SNUG FIT OF THE DOME AGAINST THE WHEEL OR HUB CAP IS SUFFICIENT
AND PROPER. |
| Remove Secur-Key, Insert padlock in bolt tube for additional security.
Optional Padlock and Padlock Cover available to fit your Rhino Immobilizer.
Optional cover prevents use of bolt cutters on padlock shank. Creates
a three tier tamper proof locking system.
7. Fill out and attach the Immobilization Notice to the vehicle.
Place notice in plain view and in a conspicuous location.
8. REMOVAL; Reverse the above procedure.

3. Rarely, but occasionally, you may want to remove a light gauge
hub cap for a more secure installation directly to wheel. If removed
stow hubcap under automobile next to immobilized wheel or keep
in other safe place. Make sure inner immobilizer arm tip is securely
engaged and indexed into wheel between the wheels backing plate
or wheel drum. Make sure that the dome maintains a centered position
on the outer wheel during the tightening process and that the
dome is tight against wheel or hub cap.
4. Keep Secur-Keys and Padlock keys in possession of trusted
personnel.
