Mounting the IMPAXX to a Vehicle

ROOF SUPPORT STRUCTURE:

 

There is a roof support piece that 

spans the distance between the driver side and passenger side. DO 

NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS PIECE! Adjust any hole locations until 

the holes can be drilled without going through this support. Failure 

to follow this warning will weaken the roof of the vehicle and may 

lead to an increased chance of bodily injury or death in a rollover 

accident.

LOCATING OPERATOR CONTROLS: The controls for the light 

system must be located so that the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can 

be operated safely under all driving conditions.

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT: Do not install equipment or route wiring in 

the deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this warning 

will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge 

the equipment, causing serious injury or death.

VISION OBSTRUCTION: Do not install the light in a location that will 

obstruct or impair the driver’s vision. Locate the light out of direct 

view of the driver, and test the system to make sure excessive stray 

light from this light does not impair the driver’s vision. Minimize 

both direct light and reflected light from the driver’s vision. Failure 

to follow this warning could result in injury or death.
