Warning Lights
• A light system is a high current system. For the system to function
properly, a separate negative (–) connection and positive (+) connec
-
tion must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the
negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the
positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as possible.
Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device
and system amperage requirements.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the ve
-
hicle wiring without reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from
the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that your installation will not affect
vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always
check the vehicle for proper operation after installation.
• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes,
LEDs, and the outer housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to dis
-
connect power to the system and allow the system to cool down before
handling any components of the system.
• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can
burst and result in flying glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection
when handling these components.
• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the light
-
ing system. Placing the antenna too close to the lighting system could
cause the lighting system to malfunction or be damaged by strong radio
fields. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system may also
cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere with
the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.
• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is con
-
nected to its power source.
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.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other
electrical connections are made, mounting of all components is com
-
plete, and you have verified that no shorts exist. If the wiring is shorted
to the vehicle body or frame, high current conductors can cause hazard
-
ous 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.
