FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS
People’s lives depend on your safe installation of
our products. It is important to read, understand and
follow all instructions shipped with the products. In
addition, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you should
follow:
•
To properly install a light assembly: you
must have a good understanding of auto-
motive electrical procedures and systems,
along with proficiency in the installation
and use of safety warning equipment.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure,
be sure that both sides of the surface are
clear of anything that could be damaged.
•
A light system is a high current device.
In order for it to function properly, a
separate ground connection must be
made. If practical, it should be connected
to the negative battery terminal. At a
minimum, it may be attached to a solid
metal body or chassis part that will pro-
vide an effective ground path as long as
the light system is to be used.
•
Locate light system controls so the
VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be
operated safely under all driving
conditions.
•
You should frequently inspect the light
system to ensure that it is operating
properly and that it is securely attached

File these instructions in a safe place
and refer to them when maintaining
and/or reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in property damage, serious
injury, or death to you or others.

supply. Models SJ3P/SJL3P are powered by four
head and six head quadruple flash power supplies.
