Frequently Asked Questions - C-HDM-176 Havis

What tools are required to install the Havis C-HDM-176 mount?

You will need a large metric socket set (1/2" drive), a small metric and US standard socket set (1/4" drive), 7/8", 1/2", and 7/16" wrenches, a US standard Allen wrench set, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

What is the first step before installing the mount?

Always read all instructions before installing any Havis products. Also, check for obstructions such as wires, brake lines, and the fuel tank.

How do I attach the HDM Base to the vehicle?

Remove the plastic caps covering the seat bolts, then remove the OEM seat bolts, nuts, and studs. Align the HDM Base mounting holes to the seat bolt locations and loosely attach using the original seat bolts. Tighten fully once the base is properly in place.

Can the mount be adjusted closer to the vehicle center?

Yes, you can use the optional C-HMD-409 Offset Plate to move the mount closer to the center of the vehicle.

How do I adjust the height of the pole?

The shaft collar on the inner pole can be loosened and repositioned to adjust the height. Once the desired height is achieved, fully tighten the shaft collar.

What rotation options does the Motion Device provide?

The Motion Device has two sets of holes: a 3-bolt pattern allows 90° rotation, and a 2-bolt pattern allows 180° rotation.

Can I mount a laptop directly without a docking station?

Yes, if you are using a Universal Laptop Mount (UT-X Series or C-3090 Series), you can mount it directly to the Motion Device.

How do I properly dock my computer into the Havis Docking Station?

First, open the docking connector door on the bottom of your computer. Load the front of the computer into the front hooks of the docking station, then gently lower the back down into the docking connector. Turn the docking latch to the DOCK position and secure with the barrel lock using the supplied key.

Is there an optional power management system for this mount?
