Chapter 1: Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of
anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs from drilled holes. To prevent electrical
shorts, grommet all drilled holes through which wiring passes. Also, ensure that the
mounting screws do not cause electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.
• Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper electrical connections,
additional precautions, and information.
• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle with
a magnetically mounted warning light installed. The light could fly off the vehicle causing
injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this warning shall be the
sole responsibility of the user.
• To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the lightbar mounting feet as close to the
outer edge of the roof as possible.
• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten
adjustment bolts 6 to 7 ft-lb to prevent the JLX lightbar from sliding front-to-back when
pulling on the mounting bracket. Install keeper plates.
• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely
under all driving conditions.
After Installation or Service
• After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle
light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the
vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.
• Scratched or dull reflectors, mirrors, or domes will reduce the effectiveness of the
lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or petroleum based products
when cleaning the lighting system. Replace any optical components that may have been
scratched or crazed during system installation.
• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a hazardous
situation.
• You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and
that it is securely attached to the vehicle.
• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to
instructional staff and all operating personnel.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or re-installing
the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
