ICE HELIX® PORTABLE CONVERSION KIT Installation Guide
Installing the Gimbal Bracket on the Riser Blocks
Confirm the screw
holes on the riser
blocks align with
the screw holes on
your gimbal knob.
7. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, secure the gimbal bracket with the four included #8 x 1 1/4"
screws. Hand-tighten only!
8. Install the handle onto the base, so that the curved part of the handle faces towards the back
of the base, towards the battery well.
NOTE: The handle is keyed so that it only fits onto the base in one way.
9. Install the four included #8-32 x 7/16" screws, two on each side of the handle, to attach the
handle to the base. Hand-tighten only!

| Routing the Cables in the Base
In this procedure, you will route the power and transducer jumper cables on the underside of the base
and attach the tie-down straps that will be used to secure the battery to the base in a later procedure.
NOTE: As you route the cables, make sure you leave enough cable length on the surface of the
portable base to reconnect the cables to the control head later in the installation.
1. Turn the base upside down.
2. Thread the two included battery tie-down straps from the bottom of the base up through each
side of the battery well, using the strap holes in the base. Make sure the soft side of the strap
faces down.
3. Route the power cable and transducer jumper cable connector ends from under the base and
up through the hole in the center of the base.
4. Insert the spade connector end of the power cable into the center slot of the battery well. (If
you need to adjust the cable route, you can select a different slot.)
5. Route the transducer jumper cable to the jumper cable well as shown in the illustrations
Installing the Cables onto the Base and Transducer Jumper Cable Path.
6. Fit the transducer jumper cable connector down into the jumper cable well and snap it into
place. Insert the two #6-32 x 1/4" screws included to secure the transducer jumper connector
and tighten them using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Hand-tighten only!
7. Adjust the cables as needed. Secure all cables to the base using the included zip ties at the
points shown in the illustration Tying Down the Cables.
