Safety Messages

•  To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the light bar mounting feet as close 

to the outer edge of the roof as possible. 

•  Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are overtightened. Torque 

the adjustment bolts from 6 ft-lb to 7 ft-lb. Install keeper plates. 

•  Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated 

safely under all driving conditions. 

After Installation or Service

•  After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
•  If a seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat 

needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

•  Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and 

vehicle light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation 

has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or 

circuit.

•  Scratched or dull reflectors, mirrors, or lenses will reduce the effectiveness of 

the lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or petroleum-based 

products when cleaning the lighting system. Replace any optical components that 

may have been scratched or crazed during system installation.

•  Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system control while driving in a 

hazardous situation.

•  Frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that 

it is securely attached to the vehicle.

•  After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to 

instructional staff and all operating personnel.

•  Do not use a pressure washer to clean the light bar. Failure to heed this notice will 

damage the light bar.

•  File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or 

reinstalling the product.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, 

serious injury, or death.
