WIRING PRECAUTION
Never  attach  both  the  orange  wire  AND  the  yellow  wire  from  the  CON-
TROLLER  light  head  to  the  same  FOLLOWER  light  head.  Connecting 
both  signal  wires  to  the  same  FOLLOWER  will  cause  the  light  heads  to 
malfunction.

REVERSE POLARITY / MISWIRING
Reverse polarity or incorrect voltage may damage the light. To avoid dam-
age to the light, ensure that the battery voltage is the same as the voltage 
rating of the light and that the correct polarity is observed. If you are con-
necting to a cigarette lighter plug, connect the positive wire to the center 
terminal and connect the negative wire to the outer terminal.

Make the connections shown in
