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.

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

under all driving conditions.

light control while driving in a hazardous
situation.

ensure that it is operating properly and

refer to them when maintaining and/or
