• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are
clear of anything that could be damaged. All drilled holes should be deburred
and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes
should be protected by a grommet or convolute/split-loom tubing. Additionally,
all exterior drilled holes must be sealed with Motorcraft seam sealer T-A-2-B
or equivalent to prevent the potential exposure to carbon monoxide or other
potentially harmful fumes. Failure to observe this warning could cause serious
injury or death.
After Installation
• After installation, test the siren and 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 installation has
not affected vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.
• After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the
instructional staff and all operating personnel.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or
reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.

Safety Messages to Operators of Sound/Light Systems
People’s lives depend on your safe operation of Federal Signal products. It is
important to read and follow all instructions shipped with the products. Listed
below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should
follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system control while driving in
a hazardous situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize
this fact and continue to drive cautiously.
• Situations may occur that obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-
made objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood
or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially careful.
• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain
situations, permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider
taking appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection.
