DIY Dock Installation Instructions

Attaching a Beyond Power DIY Dock to compatible Voltra Mounts products — for customers who already have a dock with a mount, or need install guidance

Thank you for choosing Voltra Mounts. These instructions provide a clear, professional procedure for bolting a Beyond Power DIY Dock onto a compatible Voltra Mounts product that supports the Include / Don’t Include DIY Dock option (or onto a Voltra Mounts doubling plate that accepts a DIY Dock). Following these steps ensures flat mating, correct fastener torque, and a secure interface for your Voltra I.

Required Tools & Hardware

Critical Installation Specifications

Dock role: The DIY Dock is the bolt-on interface your Voltra I seats onto. On Voltra Mounts products, it attaches to the mount’s (or plate’s) DIY Dock mounting face.

Typical fastener count (dock screws): The DIY Dock is secured with eight M4 screws.

Torque method: Hand-start all fasteners, verify flat mating and alignment, then tighten in progressive passes (even / criss-cross or star pattern). Do not jump straight to final torque.

Step-by-Step Installation Procedure

Step 1 — Confirm Compatibility and Lay Out Hardware

Confirm your Voltra Mounts product has a DIY Dock mounting face / hole pattern (Include / Don’t Include dock option on the mount, Dual Voltra Plate dock lobe, or another published dock-compatible interface). Lay out:

• The mount or doubling plate
• The DIY Dock
• The matching fasteners (typically eight M4 DIY Dock screws for the dock path; plus any Voltra Mounts doubling plate hardware if you are on a doubling plate path)

Step 2 — Prepare a Protected Work Surface

Place the mount or plate on a soft, protected work surface so powder coat and dock finish are not scratched. Keep fasteners grouped so DIY Dock screws are not mixed with unrelated kit hardware.

Step 3 — Clean Mating Surfaces

Wipe the mount’s (or plate’s) DIY Dock mounting face and the DIY Dock mating face with a clean cloth. Remove chips, grit, chalk, packaging residue, or adhesive remnants so the dock can seat flat.

Step 4 — Position the DIY Dock (Flat Mating Check)

Place the DIY Dock onto the mount or plate so every fastener hole lines up cleanly with the dock interface. The dock should sit centered and square on the mounting face.

Alignment check: Confirm the DIY Dock sits flat against the mount (or plate) with no rock or gap before installing fasteners.

Step 5 — Hand-Start All Fasteners

Using the DIY Dock screw path:

• Hand-start every screw 2–3 turns so threads engage freely.
• Do not force a binding screw. Back it out, inspect and clean the threads, replace any suspect fastener, and realign.
• Hand-snug only until the dock is lightly clamped and alignment is maintained. Do not final-torque yet.

Step 6 — Verify Alignment, Then Apply Progressive Torque

With fasteners still only snug, re-check that the DIY Dock is flush, centered, and free of gaps or binding.

Then tighten in an even criss-cross or star pattern in progressive passes to Beyond Power’s recommended range:

Step 7 — Doubler Plate Path Only (If Applicable)

Note: Fiber lock nuts apply only when installing a Dual Voltra Plate onto a Rogue mount (plate-to-mount). They are not used for DIY Dock screws or other doubling plate dock hardware.

If your install uses a Voltra Mounts doubling plate whose M4 assemblies clamp the dock to the plate after the plate is mounted:

• Follow that plate’s Help article for plate-to-mount fasteners and any version-specific hardware (for example, Dual Voltra Plate V1 / V2).
• Tighten those Voltra Mounts doubling plate M4 fasteners in an even pattern to 32 in-lb (3.6 Nm) — do not exceed.
• Do not apply 32 in-lb to Beyond Power DIY Dock screws. Keep the two torque values separate.

Step 8 — Seat the Voltra I

Install your Voltra I onto the prepared DIY Dock using the dock’s normal seating / retention method. Confirm the unit is fully seated and retained before loading the setup.

Step 9 — Final Inspection

• DIY Dock sits flat on the mount or plate with no rock or gap.
• All DIY Dock screws you tightened are within Beyond Power’s 2.0–2.5 Nm (17.7–22.1 in-lb) and have not backed off.
• If a Voltra Mounts doubling plate M4 path was used, those fasteners are at 32 in-lb (3.6 Nm) with locking features fully engaged.
• Fastener threads engaged cleanly; no binding, cross-threading, or incomplete engagement.
• Voltra I is properly seated on the DIY Dock.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Re-check torque on DIY Dock screws (2.0–2.5 Nm / 17.7–22.1 in-lb, Beyond Power) — and, if used, Voltra Mounts doubling plate M4 fasteners (32 in-lb / 3.6 Nm) — after the first few training sessions, then about every 90 days (or sooner if you train hard / under heavy dynamic loads).
• Keep DIY Dock and mount / plate mating surfaces clean. Wipe away chalk, sweat, and grit that can affect flat seating.
• About every 90 days, inspect the DIY Dock, mount or doubling plate, and fasteners for wear, coating damage at contact points, or fastener loosening.
• If you remove and reinstall DIY Dock screws, inspect dock threads again, replace any fastener that looks suspect, and re-torque using the progressive sequence — never jump straight to final torque.

Need Help?

If something does not sit flat, a fastener will not torque cleanly, or you are unsure which torque path applies to your kit, stop and contact Voltra Mounts before loading the setup.
