Protect zūmo®'s Motorcycle Mount from Harsh Outdoor Elements

Protecting the zūmo®'s motorcycle mount from the elements will help increase its life.

You can Help Protect the Mount by Following the Tips Listed Below:

  • Keep pins dry and covered with the included weather cap.
    • The included weather cap may be attached to the power cable for some zūmo® models.
  • Apply dielectric grease to the pins to create a thin protective coating on the surface of pins.
  • Wire power for the mount to a switched power source to provide power to the mount only when the motorcycle is powered on.
  • If water does get into the connection area, blow it out with compressed/canned air.
  • Mount the device behind fairing (windshield), if available.

These steps will help protect your device and accessories from harsh weather elements.

The video below will walk you through using the weather cap on the cable/mount for the zūmo® 350, zūmo® 390, zūmo® 395, and zūmo® 396.
