Model FHL-TAIL Tail Light Flasher

Testing the Installation

SOUND HAZARD—All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds 
(120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your 
exposure to siren sound and wear hearing protection. Do not sound the  
siren indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to 
the sound.

LIGHT HAZARD—To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning 
system produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when 
viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into the lights at a close range 
or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.

After testing the flasher, test the emergency warning system to ensure that it is operating properly. Also 
test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems 
to ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed 
any vehicle safety functions or circuits. After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the 
instructional staff and all operating personnel.

Do not test the sound and light system of the vehicle while driving. Operating the vehicle warning systems 
may pose a hazard to the operator and other drivers if the systems do not function as expected. Test the 
vehicle only in a controlled environment.
