SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND USERS

 WARNING

People’s lives depend on your safe installation of our products. It is important
to read, understand and follow all instructions shipped with this product and
the related add-on products. In addition, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

To properly install this light: you must have a good understanding of
automotive electrical procedures and systems, along with proficiency in
the installation and use of safety warning equipment.

When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the
surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs
from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all drilled holes
through which wiring passes.

A light system is a high current device. In order for it to function properly,
a separate ground connection must be made. If practical, it should be
connected to the negative battery terminal. At a minimum, it may be
attached to a solid metal body or chassis part that will provide an
effective ground path as long as the light is to be used.

Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, Federal
does not recommend driving a vehicle with a magnetically mounted
warning light installed. 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.

Locate light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be
operated safely under all driving conditions.

You should frequently inspect the light to ensure that it is operating
properly and that it is securely attached to the vehicle.

File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining
and/or reinstalling the product.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property

damage, serious injury, or death to you or others.

I.

GENERAL.

This instruction sheet provides directions for installation, wiring, and maintenance of the

Turbo Flash Light Assemblies.

After unpacking the Light Assembly, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit.

If the unit has been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it. File a claim immediately with
the carrier, stating the extent of damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels, and tags
before removing or destroying them.

II.

INSTALLATION.

The Light Assembly is completely wired at the factory and does not require any additional

internal wiring. User-supplied 18 gauge or larger wire may be added if required. Determine the
Light Assembly’s operating voltage before selecting the user-supplied switch(es) and fuse.
