People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is important

some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow.
•  To properly install a light assembly, you must have a good understanding of automotive electrical 

procedures and systems, along with proficiency in the installation and use of safety warning 

equipment.

•  Frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and is securely attached to 

the vehicle.

•  Always refer to the vehicle service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
•  When drilling into a vehicle structure, enure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that 

could be damaged.

•  Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all 

driving conditions.

recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

serious injury to you or others.
