Installation
Attaching the Mounting Flange
The mounting flange shipped with the unit is removable. You can either leave it attached the search light before
installation or attach the flange to the vehicle first. If desired, permanently lock the flange to the base using the three #8
screws provided. See Figure 1.

DO NOT DRIVE WITHOUT FIRST MOUNTING THE SEARCH LIGHT TO
THE FLANGE:
Because vehicle roof construction and driving
conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle if the search light is not
attached to the flange. The light could fly off the vehicle, causing
injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this
warning shall be the sole responsibility of the user.
To attach the mounting flange:
1.
Locate the detent on the search light and one of the two detent
notches on the flange.
2.
Align the search light as shown in Figure 1.
3.
Push the search light down completely and turn clockwise 1/8 turn
until the detent locks in place.
To remove the search light from the flange:
1.
Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to push the detent while turning the
search light counterclockwise.
2.
Pull up when the detent is free of the notch.

Wiring
REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRING: To avoid damage to
the light, ensure that the input voltage is the same as the
voltage rating of the light. Ensure that correct polarity is
observed. Also ensure that the unit is properly fused
with a 5 A fuse.
To wire the search light:
1.
Determine the required length of wires needed. The
search light is supplied with 6-Inch 20 AWG wires that
can be connected to longer wires if needed. For lengths
up to 15 feet (5 m), use a minimum 18 AWG (1 mm)
wire. For lengths over 15 feet, use a minimum 16 AWG
(1.5 mm) wire.
2.
Install a 5 A fuse and fuse holder to the positive (+)
terminal at the voltage source. Connect one side of the
power switch to this fuse. Connect the light’s red wire to
the switched terminal of the switch.
3.
Connect the black (–) wire from the search light to a
known good vehicle ground as close to the unit as is
practical.
