FOR
SENTRY™ WARNING LIGHTS
SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
People’s lives depend on your safe installation of our
products. It is important to read, understand and follow
all instructions shipped with the products. In addition,
listed below are some other important safety instruc-
tions and precautions you should follow:
•
To properly install this kit: you must have a
good understanding of automotive electrical
procedures and systems, along with profi-
ciency in the installation and use of safety
warning equipment.
•
DO NOT install equipment or route wiring
in the deployment path of an air bag.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure, be
sure that both sides of the surface are clear
of anything that could be damaged.
•
In order for the light to function properly, a
separate ground connection must be made.
If practical, it should be connected to the
negative battery terminal. At a minimum, it
may be attached to a solid metal body or
chassis part that will provide an effective
ground path as long as the light system is to
be used.
•
Locate light control so the VEHICLE and
CONTROL can be operated safely under all
driving conditions.
•
Do not attempt to activate or deactivate
light control while driving in a hazardous
situation.
•
You should frequently inspect the light to
ensure that it is operating properly and that
it is securely attached to the vehicle.
•
File these instructions in a safe place and
refer to them when maintaining and/or
reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instruc-
tions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death to you or others.

III. INSTALLATION.
A.
Surface Mount Models.
To install the light, proceed as follows:
1.
Push and hold the dome release button
(located in the plastic base). Turn the dome counter-
clockwise and lift the dome off the base (see figure 1).
2.
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Select a relatively flat mounting position which provides
sufficient rigidity to support the light and prevent
vibrations caused by the light when the vehicle is in
motion.
CAUTION
Turning reflector by hand may damage motor or
worm gear. To rotate the reflector, connect to an
appropriate power source.
3.
Position the light with the dome release
button toward the rear at the selected mounting loca-
tion.
