Installation & Mounting:
Caution!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that the area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines,
vehicle upholstery, etc. that could be damaged.
!
Permanent Mounting:
1. Select a level surface for installation.
2. Drill mounting holes using the base as a template and attach with included hardware.

Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Examine the unit for transit damage. If damage is found, return the product to your local dealer for
warranty replacement. Do not use damaged or broken parts.
Important!
Disable power before wiring the spotlight.
Wiring:
CW300X
Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires, it is recommended that
terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement
connectors (e.g.,3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce
voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses and
circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacterer and be
protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties and similar installation hardware should be used to
anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring
and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from
corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should be only made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to
their capacity.
The wiring for this configuration is as shown in the figure below. All wiring should be a minimum of 18AWG. The positive line must have a 5 amp
fuse, as shown. Routing the ground wire directly back to negative battery terminal is recommended. Pack dielectric grease, such as Dow Corning 4,
around each electric connection exposed to moisture or the ambient environment.
