Routing the Lightbar Cable(s):

1.

To  protect  the  headliner  from  damage  caused  by  drilling  the  cable
access  hole  through  the  vehicle  roof,  allow  a  5”  to  7”  distance
between roof and headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling.

2.

Using a 1” hole saw, drill the cable access hole then use a round file
to  smooth  and  de-burr  the  edges  of  the  hole.  Install  a  1”  grommet
(user supplied).

NOTE: There may be a roof support member that spans the distance
between  the  driver’s  and  passenger’s  side.  DO  NOT  DRILL
THROUGH THIS MEMBER! Adjust the location until the hole can be
drilled without contacting this support member.

3.

Insert  the  cable(s)  through  the  cable  access  hole  into  the  vehicle.
Use RTV silicone to weatherproof the access hole after the cable(s)
are pulled completely into the vehicle.

4.

Route  the  cable(s)  one  at  a  time  to  their  respective  destinations
(power cable to vehicle battery; control cable to switch panel). Refer
to  the  instructions  included  with  your  switches  for  switch  wiring
information.

IMPORTANT AIR BAG WARNING! Refer to front cover for necessary
air bag precautions.

the  mounting  surface  before  starting.  If  damage  is  likely,  select  a
different mounting location.

1.

Install  the  mounting  foot  to  the  lightbar  following  steps  1  thru  4  of
“Strap Mounting”.

2.

Drill  two  holes  in  each
mounting  foot  as  shown  to
accommodate  the  permanent
mount hardware. 

3.

Position  the  lightbar  onto  the
vehicle  in  its  exact  mounting
location and mark the location
of the mounting holes onto the
surface  of  the  roof  using  the
mounting feet as templates.

4.

Remove  the  lightbar  and  drill
the 4 mounting holes.

5.

Install  the  lightbar  using  the
supplied  1/4  -  20  Phillips  Pan
Head  Machine  Screw,  1/4”
