A. GENERAL.
The #350205 mounting kit is designed for use in conjunction
with the Federal Signal CudaTriOptic family light heads (see the
light head’s instruction sheet). The kit is designed for mounting
within a vehicle’s interior. The bracket is supplied with mount-
ing hardware and allows the unit to swivel at a 270° angle range.
The assembled unit may be mounted in the horizontal, or vertical,
position with the cabling exiting from either side, or the rear, of the
CudaTriOptic light head.
B. UNPACKING.
After unpacking the kit and the light head, inspect them for
damage that may have occurred in transit. If either the kit or the
unit has been damaged, or missing a part, do not attempt to install
or operate it. File a claim immediately with the carrier, stating the
extent of damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels
and tags before removing or destroying them. Ensure that all parts

D. INSTALLATION.
WARNING
This product is intended for supplemental warn-
ing and for use in conjunction with an approved
primary warning light system. Consult local codes
and regulations to determine if the power supply/
light head combination complies with the horizon-
tal or vertical mount positioning desired in your
application.
When installing equipment inside air bag equipped
vehicles, the installer MUST ensure that the equip-
ment is installed ONLY in areas recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer. Failure to observe this
warning will reduce the effectiveness of the air
bag, damage the air bag, or potentially damage or
dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury or
death to you or others.
1. First, determine which side of the unit will be attached
to the mounting bracket. The fully assembled bracket is designed
with a 270° swivel feature allowing the installer a wide range of
mounting options.
2. The light heads are provided with a top, bottom, and two
rear channels which accommodate two mounting screws (supplied
with the light head unit along with two keps nuts). Slide the two
mounting screws into the selected channel for mounting on the
bracket with the warning label. Ensure that the light head is fully
assembled if the end cap was removed to install the mounting
screws.
NOTE
For a horizontal mounting, the light head unit MUST
be mounted with the two drain holes facing downward
for adequate condensate drainage. (See the light head’s
instruction sheet.)
