Charging/Retention Bracket Mounting Instructions
S-SCORT VX2
The Model 8310 Charging/Retention bracket can be mounted by the base or mounted vertically in order
to hold the S-SCORT VX2 portable suction unit. Mount the unit so the indicator lights on the control
panel are visible to the user. The unit is shipped ready to be mounted vertically, but if that does not fit
your requirements, you can easily modify the unit to mount it by the base.
Note: the mounting bracket will hold the VX-2 in place to a force of ten 'G'. Select and prepare a
mounting surface, and take care in the mounting procedure, so that the bracket and the pump will be
secure at a force equal to, or greater than, 10 G

the washers and nuts to the screws to secure the Charging/Retention bracket in place.
