Halogen Scene Light Model QL97HSCENE
• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the outer housing, get
hot during operation. Be sure to disconnect 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 lighting 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 emit-
ted 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 connected 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 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 air bag.
• 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.
• The service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the glass portion is touched during
installation. Use gloves when handling these components. If the glass portion has been touched, clean
the glass carefully with isopropyl alcohol.
• Before 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 manual packed with the lighting system for proper electrical connections, additional pre-
cautions 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. Tighten adjustment bolts 10 to
11 ft-lb to prevent the lightbar from sliding front-to-back when pulling on the mounting bracket.
• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all
driving conditions.
