5

Testing the Installation

After the installation, test the scene light to ensure that it is operating properly. Also test all vehicle functions, 
including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems to insure proper operation. 
Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety functions 
or circuits.

Cleaning the Plastic Lenses

CRAZING/CHEMICALS
Crazing  (cracking)  of  lenses  will  cause  reduced  effectiveness  of  the  light.  Do  not  use  cleaning 
agents  (which  will  cause  crazing)  such  as  strong  detergents,  solvents,  or  petroleum  products.  
If crazing of lenses does occur, the reliability of light for emergency signaling purposes may be 
reduced until lenses are replaced. 

Failure to follow this warning can damage the lenses and may result in bodily injury or death to you 
or others. 

1.  Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water to loosen dirt and debris.

2.  Use a mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth to gently clean the lenses. To avoid damaging the 

lens, do not use heavy pressure or caustic, abrasive, or petroleum-based cleaners. 

3.  Rinse and dry the lenses with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.

4.  To remove fine scratches and haze, use a specialty plastic cleaner/polish and a soft cloth. You can also 

use a high quality automotive paste cleaner/wax that is non-abrasive.

The most effective product you can use for cleaning, protecting, and polishing clear and colored plastics 
is Plexus® Plastic Cleaner, Protectant & Polish. Over time, exposure to heat, sunlight, and smog causes 
plastic to fade, discolor, scratch, or become brittle. Plexus seals the pores of the plastic, making the plastic 
easier to clean, improving scratch resistance, and increasing product longevity.

Plexus is available in cases of twelve 13 oz aerosol cans (PX13) from Federal Signal Corporation, Emer-
gency Products. 

Replacing the Halogen Lamp

CAREFULLY HANDLE THE HALOGEN LAMP
Halogen lamps get hot enough to burn you. Always allow these devices to cool before handling 
them. Halogen lamps are also pressurized and if broken can result in flying glass. Always wear 
gloves and eye protection when handling these devices.

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. 

LAMP WATTAGE
This device is designed to use a halogen lamp of 50 watts or less. Use of a lamp of more than 50 
watts can result in damage to the lens, property damage, or injury to you or others.
