DL35-6-1 and DL35-12-1 Mounting
1. After attaching the brackets on your light as indicated in the
Assembly
section on pages 2-3
,
place the light on the mounting surface where
you wish to mount the light. Snug the light as close as possible to the
window to help reduce flashback. Once in place, mark the bolt holes,
using the base as a template. You may need to remove the light from
the bracket to allow you easier access to mark the holes.
Take care
not to move the bracket if you remove the light.
If you are
mounting this on the rear deck of a vehicle, Star
HIGHLY
RECOMMENDS
that
at least
one of the bolts be mounted through the
steel framework to ensure a solid mount.
2. Once the holes are marked, remove the
bracket and check the underside of the
mounting surface to be sure you have access
to it. Take care to check that the area is free
of wires or any other components that may be
damaged. Then carefully drill a ¼” hole in the
three marked locations.
3. Reattach the bracket to the light, if
necessary, and install the light using the
three carriage bolts, three flat washers,
and three lock nuts shown in the diagram
to the right. It is not necessary to use
excessive force when tightening these
bolts down. You only need to snug them
up.
Over tightening them may warp
your mounting surface!!
4. Loosen the hex head bolts slightly to allow for adjustments. Make the
final adjustments by having someone stand 20 feet behind the vehicle
(or in front, if you are mounting to the dash) with the light running, and
checking the light through the window. Tilt the light up or down as
necessary and snug it as close to the window as possible to help
reduce flashback. Tighten the hex head bolts once you have achieved
the desired position.
CAUTION:
Take extreme caution not to over tighten the screws!!!
Over tightening of the screws can strip the holes and
result in a faulty mount.
5. Continue to the Operation section.
Mounting Surface
It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light is
secure. Check your light every time you enter the vehicle to ensure that
it is mounted securely. Star Headlight and Lantern Co. assumes no
responsibility for the secure mounting of this light.
The DL35 series dash lights are designed to be mounted on the inside of
your vehicle. They are not intended for exterior applications.
