Mounting the Lightbar:
Selecting a Location
•
When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path
that will keep these wires away from excessive heat and
from any vehicle equipment that could compromise the
integrity of the wires (ex. trunk lids, door jams, etc.).
•
When the best mounting location has been determined,
secure the unit to its mounting surface using the
supplied hardware.
Caution: As it will be necessary to drill holes into the
mounting surface, the installer MUST be sure that no
vehicle components or other vital parts will be
damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before drilling begins!
Note: When facing the display, the cable harness
should exit from the right side of the bar.
1.
Position the unit in its proposed mounting location to ensure
that it fits properly. With the unit in place, use an awl or other
suitable tool and scribe the areas to be drilled.
2.
Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in each of the
areas scribed in step 1.
3.
As accurately as possible
, measure a distance of 8” from
the right-hand mounting hole as shown below. Mark this area.
Now measure an additional 1½” along the same axis and
mark that area.
4.
As shown below, drill a 1” dia. cable access hole in the
mounting surface at both of these locations.
5.
Apply a bead of RTV Silicone around the area where the
cables exit the backside of the extrusion. Make sure that this
bead is large enough to surround the holes drilled in the
previous step and prevent water entry.
6.
Return the unit to its mounting location and using the
supplied hardware, mount the unit as shown.

deployment area of your airbag. Equipment mounted or
located in the airbag deployment area will damage or
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, or become a
projectile that could cause serious personal injury or
death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air
bag deployment area.
The User/Installer assumes full
responsibility to determine proper mounting location,
based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers
