Strap Mounting:

1.

Locate  the  mounting  foot,  mounting  plate  and  tinnerman  plate
included with your lightbar. If not already present, install the mounting
plate onto the mounting foot. When properly positioned, this plate is
centered from side to side on the mounting foot.

2.

Flip the lightbar upside-down to expose the bottom of the extrusion
and place the mounting foot onto the extrusion.

3.

Rotate the mounting foot 90° in a counter-clockwise direction. Make
sure that the edges of the mounting foot swing into position under the
extrusion mounting lip. Install a tinnerman plate onto the extrusion in
the same manner.

IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be located a minimum of
16" from any radio antennas!

Permanent Mounting:

1.

Locate  the  mounting  foot  and  mounting  plate  included  with  your
lightbar.  If  not  already  present,  install  the  mounting  plate  onto  the
mounting foot. When properly positioned, this plate is centered from
side to side on the mounting foot.

2.

Flip the lightbar upside-down to expose the bottom of the extrusion
and place the mounting foot onto the extrusion.

3.

Rotate the mounting foot 90° in a counter-clockwise direction. Make
sure that the edges of the mounting foot swing into position under the
extrusion mounting lip.

4.

Repeat this procedure for the remaining mounting foot and return the
lightbar to its right side-up position.

5.

Position  the  lightbar  onto  the  vehicle  roof  in  the  desired  mounting
location.  One often selected location is directly  above  the  B-pillars.
This  area  is  the  strongest  part  of  the  roof.  Refer  to  your  lightbar
manual for cable exit location, to be sure that the lightbar is facing the
proper direction.

6.

Adjust the two mounting feet outwards so that they are as close to
the edge of the roof as possible. Make sure that both mounting feet
are in full contact with the roof. Be sure that there is no less than 1/2”
clearance  between  the  roof  and  the  lightbar  at  their  closest  point.
When the mounting feet are in their proper position, lightly tighten the
mounting foot allen head set screws.

7.

Turn the lightbar upside down and tighten all of the set screws from
step 6 (2 or 4 per side) to 14-16 In. Lbs.

8.

Note that on the adjustable foot, use the hole in the pad as a guide to
drill the two holes into the mounting foot at the locations shown.

9.

Place the lightbar in its final mounting position on the vehicle, mark
the  mounting  hole  locations  off  onto  the  mounting  surface,  remove
the lightbar and drill the mounting holes. 

10. Place the lightbar back onto the vehicle lined up with the mounting

holes and secure the mounting feet to the vehicle using the supplied
hardware as shown.
