SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND OPERATORS

 

People’s lives depend on your safe instal-

lation of our products.  It is important to 

read, understand and follow all instructions 

shipped with the products.  In addition, listed 

below are some other important safety in-

structions and precautions you should follow:
•  To properly install this light, you must 

have a good understanding of automotive 

electrical procedures and systems, along 

with proficiency in the installation and 

use of safety warning equipment.

•  DO NOT install equipment or route wir-

ing in the deployment path of an airbag.

•  When drilling into a vehicle structure, 

be sure that both sides of the surface are 

clear of anything that could be damaged.

•  In order for the light to function prop-

erly, a separate ground connection must 

be made.  If practical, it should be con-

nected to the negative battery terminal.  

At a minimum, it may be attached to a 

solid metal body or chassis part that will 

provide an effective ground path as long 

as the light system is to be used.

•  Locate the light control so the VEHICLE 

and CONTROL can be operated safely 

under all driving conditions.

•  Do not attempt to activate or deactivate 

light control while driving in a hazardous 

situation.

•  This product contains high intensity LED 

devices.  To prevent eye damage, DO NOT 

stare into the light beam at close range.

•  You should frequently inspect the light to 

ensure that it is operating properly and 

that it is securely attached to the vehicle.

•  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 to you or others.
