Preparing the Valor for Hook Mounting

ROOF SUPPORT STRUCTURE: There is a roof support structure that spans the distance 

between the driver and passenger sides. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS MEMBER! Adjust any 

hole locations until the holes can be drilled without going through this member. Failure to follow 

this warning will weaken the roof of the vehicle and may lead to an increased chance of bodily 

injury or death in a rollover accident.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: Before drilling holes, check the area into which you plan to drill to 

ensure that you do not damage vehicle components. All drilled holes should be deburred and all 

sharp edges should be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes should be protected by 

grommet or convolute/split-loom tubing.

Plan all cable routing before completing the installation. Plan the location of the wire routing hole in the 

vehicle roof so that the power and communication cables do not have tight bends. 
Before proceeding, refer to the instructions provided with the separately purchased mounting hook kit. 
To prepare the light bar:

1. 

Place the light bar assembly on the vehicle roof at the selected location. Usually the assembly is 

installed so that the mounting hooks attach at, or immediately behind, the door center post. 

2. 

Adjust both mounting foot assemblies in or out until the mounting pads rest as far outboard as 

possible. Figures 3 and 4 show the preferred positions.
