Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly 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 manufacturer 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 only be 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.
Important!
This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation should any
other electrical accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other accessory.
Wiring Instructions:
Caution:
Disconnect the battery before wiring up the lightbar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/or electrical shock.

Strap Kit Mounting
Important!
Mounting brackets are specific to the vehicle model. Please make sure the brackets are suitable for the vehicle before
installation.

1. Loosen the 5/16” nuts to allow the mounting feet to slide along the base of the lightbar. Loosely attach the mounting strap to each foot
using the supplied pan head phillips screws and lock washers.
2. Center the lightbar across the vehicle and align the strap mount brackets to hook into the gutter of the vehicles door frame as shown in
FIGURE 6.
3. Secure the feet to the lightbar in location by tightening the four nuts on each foot.
4. Slowly tighten the pan head screws to secure the strap mount brackets to the lightbar feet and around the door gutters, keeping the
lightbar centered and level. Ensure the doors close completely and secure each strap mount bracket to the door frame. Mounting
geometry and parts will vary for different vehicles. See the Wiring section of this manual for further wiring instructions.
