Mounting the Light Head in a Vehicle
The light is installed using the supplied bracket and screws or suction cups.
Determine the mounting position appropriate for the installation, and then select
the applicable mounting method.
Mounting the Light with Suction Cups
SUCTION CUPS ARE FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY: Suction cup mounting
is for temporary applications only. This unit should be removed from the
vehicle and stored securely when not in use. Temperature changes and
sunlight can cause suction cups to lose holding power. Periodically check
the unit to ensure that the suction cups have a firm grip on the mounting
surface. An improperly secured light could fall off the windshield, causing
injury and damage.
To mount the light with suction cups:
1.
Attach the appropriate visor to the light head. Press the visor firmly until it
snaps into place. See Figure 1 on page 4.
2.
Attach the suction cups to the bracket.
3.
Attach the pivot bracket to the light head using the supplied #8 pan-head
screws. Do not overtighten.
4.
Attach the bail bracket to the pivot bracket with the supplied #10 pan-head
screws and lockwashers. The lockwashers go between the bail and the pivot
bracket.
5.
Apply the suction cups to the glass.
