1.
Route the user-supplied control cable into the
vehicle near the eventual location of the user-supplied
flasher.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and/or damage to
vehicle components, in the event of a short
circuit in the power cable, install a fuse in
each incoming cable conductor.
2.
For proper light operation, the light assembly
control cables must be properly terminated inside the user-
supplied flasher. Using figure 2 as a guide, make the
appropriate electrical connections. Ensure that the lines
are adequately fused as shown in figure 2.
3.
Connect the black lead to chassis ground.
4.
Connect the red wire to the +12VDC supply or
user-supplied flasher (see figure 2).
NOTE
The light assembly can be activated by applying
+12VDC to the red lead. The heavy black lead (-)
must be connected to vehicle ground to perform a
function check.

MAINTENANCE.
1.
General.
WARNING
Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause
reduced effectiveness of the light. Do not use
cleaning agents (which will cause crazing)
such as strong detergents, solvents, or
petroleum products. If crazing of lenses does
occur, reliability of light for emergency
signaling purposes may be reduced until
lenses are replaced.
Ordinary cleaning of the plastic lenses can be
accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag. Should fine
scratches or a haze appear on a lens, they can ordinarily be
removed with a non-abrasive, high quality, one-step,
automotive paste cleaner/wax and a soft cloth.
2.
LED Mechanism Replacement.
a.
See figure 3. Remove and retain the four
screws which secure the trim ring and lens. Carefully pull
the trim ring and lens straight awaw from the flush mount
light assembly.
b.
Remove the three phillips screws which secure
the mechanism. Remove the mechanism by pulling it
straight away.
c.
Disconnect the red and black leads at the
quick connect terminals.
