Replace the plastic panel and latch the rubber fasteners at
each end of the panel. Install the two hex head screws and three plastic
rivets.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle, be sure that
both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts that
could be damaged; such as brake lines, fuel lines, electrical
wiring or other vital parts.
If the plastic rivets cannot be reused, drill two 3/16" holes
through the plastic panel into the front of the radiator crossbar. Secure
the panel in position using two 1/4 x 5/8" thread-forming screws and
lockwashers.

SAFETY MESSAGE TO PERSONNEL SERVICING FEDERAL SIGNAL
SIREN SPEAKERS
WARNING
The lives of people depend on your proper servic-
ing of Federal products. It is important to read
and follow all instructions shipped with the
products. In addition, listed below are some
other safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
•
Read and understand all instructions in this manual before
servicing the electronic siren or speaker.
•
To properly service an electronic siren or speaker: you must
have a good understanding of automotive electrical proce-
dures and systems, along with proficiency in the installation
and service of safety warning equipment. Always refer to the
vehicle's service manuals when performing service on a
vehicle.
•
Electronic circuit and speaker repairs must be performed by
a qualified and competent electronic technician.
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to your
emergency vehicle, could be damaged by loud sounds. This
can occur from short exposures to very loud sounds, or from
longer exposures to moderately loud sounds. For hearing
conservation guidance, refer to federal, state, or local
recommendations. OSHA Standard 1910.95 offers guidance
on “Permissible Noise Exposure.”
•
All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB)
that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize
your exposure to siren sound and wear hearing protection. Do
not sound the siren indoors or in enclosed areas where you
and others will be exposed to the sound.
•
DO NOT connect this system to the positive terminal of the
battery until servicing is complete, and you have verified that
there are no short circuits to ground.
•
In order for the electronic siren to function properly, the
ground connection must be made to the NEGATIVE battery
terminal.
•
After repair, test the electronic siren and speaker system to
ensure that it is operating properly.
•
Federal Signal siren amplifiers and speakers are designed to
work together as a system. Combining a siren and speaker
from different manufacturers may reduce the warning
effectiveness of the siren system and may damage the
components. You should verify or test your combination to
make sure the system works together properly and meets
both federal, state and local standards or guidelines.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may
result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others.
