Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel of
Warning Light Equipment
People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is
important to read and follow all instructions shipped with this product and the original product. In
addition, listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
•
To properly install this light, you must have a good understanding of automotive electrical
procedures and systems, along with proficiency in the installation and use of safety warning
equipment.
• Always refer to the vehicle’s service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
• 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 effect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for
proper operation after installation.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that
could be damaged.
• In order for the light to function properly, a separate ground connection must be made. If practical, it
should be connected to the fusible link at the front fender between the negative (–) battery terminal
and chassis ground. At a minimum, it may be attached to a solid metal body or chassis part that will
provide an effective ground path as long as the light system is to be used.
• Locate the light control so the VEHICLE and CONTROL can be operated safely under all driving
conditions.
• If a seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light control while driving in a hazardous situation.
• This product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO NOT stare
into the light beam at close range.
• You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is
securely attached to the vehicle.
• 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 to you or others.
• 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.
