Installation, Operation, and Service Instructions
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.
• To avoid a battery explosion, always disconnect the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last. Avoid
causing a spark when connecting near or to the battery. The gases produced by a battery can cause a battery
explosion that could result in vehicle damage and serious injury.
• 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.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
• 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.
• 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 instruction sheet 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 outer edge of the roof as
possible.
•
Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Torque the hook adjustment bolts 6
ft-lb to 7 ft-lb. 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.
• If a seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for
proper airbag deployment.
• 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.
