off. After disconnecting power to the unit, wait five minutes before handling any parts of the
strobe system.
• A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly, a
separate negative (–) connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All negative
connections should be connected to the negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse
should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery
as possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device and
system amperage requirements.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the vehicle wiring without
reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that
your installation will not affect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits.
Always check the vehicle for proper operation after installation.
• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the outer
housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to disconnect power to the system and allow the
system to cool down before handling any components of the system.
• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can burst and result in
flying glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling these components.
• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the lighting system. Placing
the antenna too close to the lighting system could cause the lighting system to malfunction
or be damaged by strong radio fields. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system
may also cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere with the
reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.
• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is connected to its power
source.
During Installation and Service
• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product can cause the
system to fail. If drilling must be done near the unit, place an ESD-approved cover over the
unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings present in or near
the unit.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are
made, mounting of all components is complete, and you have verified that no shorts exist.
If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame, high current conductors can cause
hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or flying molten metal.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the deployment path of an
airbag.
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to be sure that the component you are
installing is suitable for use in that area of the vehicle. Many components are not suitable
for use in the engine compartment or other extreme environmental exposure areas.
• Service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the glass portion is touched
during installation. Use gloves when handling these components. If the glass portion has
been touched, clean the glass carefully with isopropyl alcohol.
