or potentially damage or dislodge the equip-
ment, causing serious injury or death to you
or others.

ately with the carrier stating the extent of damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and
tags before removing or destroying them.

and/or rear if dome inserts are used, a clear
dome must be used with the colored inserts.

screws which secure the dome to the pod.
B. Carefully remove the dome and set it aside.

3-3. LIGHTBAR INSTALLATION.
WARNING
Improper warning system and/or two-way
radio system operation may result if a two-way
radio antenna is installed on, or within
18-inches of, the lightbar. Before permanent
installation of the lightbar or a two-way radio
antenna, test the warning system and two-way
radio system. DO NOT install a two-way radio
antenna on the lightbar.
Some installations may require relocation of
the two-way radio antenna to a trunk or fender
location.
Warning system failure may result if
additional holes are drilled in the lightbar,
or if auxiliary devices are installed on the
lightbar. DO NOT drill additional holes in the
lightbar, or install auxiliary devices on the
lightbar.
Before performing any installation, see figure 3-
2 (block wiring diagram); plan all wiring and cable
routing. Ensure that the lightbar is installed on the
vehicle roof in accordance with the instructions
packed with the mounting kit.
