Before proceeding with installation, plan all wiring and cable
routing. Select the mounting location for the light bar on a flat,
smooth surface, light assembly should be centered (left to right). If
the light bar is to be mounted on a curved surface, such as on the
roof of the vehicle, choose a placement with the least amount of
curvature. The mounting location for the light bar should be chosen
such that there is maximum visibility to the oncoming traffic.
Use the following instructions for mounting (refer to Figure 1).
1. Position the mounting feet (without hardware) on the vehicle in
the desired location.
