During Installation and Service
• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings
in the product can cause the system to fail. If drilling must be
done near the unit, place an ESD-approved cover over the unit.
Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings
present in or near the unit.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until
ALL other electrical connections are made, mounting of all
components is complete, and you have verified that no shorts
exist. If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame, high
current conductors can cause hazardous sparks, resulting in
electrical fires or flying molten metal.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in
the deployment path of an airbag.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle
manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper
airbag deployment.
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to make
sure that the component you are installing is suitable for use in
that area of the vehicle. Many components are not suitable for
use in the engine compartment or other extreme environmental
exposure areas.
• Before drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure 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 wires pass. Ensure
that the mounting screws do not cause electrical or mechanical
damage to the vehicle.
• Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper
electrical connections, additional precautions and information.
• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary,
do not drive 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.
