b.
Connect the other end of the user-supplied 22
gauge wire to the control cable’s brown wire at the control head as
shown in figure 2. Use an insulated connector for this connection.
D.
Inspection and Final Installation.
1.
Ensure that there are no loose wire strands or other
bare wires which may cause a short circuit. Also, all wires must be
protected from any sharp edges which could eventually cut
through the insulation.
2.
Connect the 14-gauge red wire to the (+) positive
terminal of the battery using an in-line, user-supplied fuseholder
and 25A fuse. Locate the fuse as near the battery as possible to
protect the entire length of wire.
NOTE
All directional lamps will illuminate simultaneously if
the power supply leads are reversed. Correct the wiring
before proceeding.
3.
Read and understand paragraph IV OPERATION,
and test for proper operation of all functions.
IV.
OPERATION.
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS
Peoples’ lives depend on your safe use of our products. Listed
below are some important safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
•
Although your warning system is operating properly,
it may not be completely effective. People may not
see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize
this fact and continue driving cautiously.
•
Also, situations may occur which obstruct your
warning signal when natural or man-made objects
are between your vehicle and others, such as: raising
your hood or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be
especially careful.
•
At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the
light is securely attached and all lamps are operat-
ing properly.
•
If a selected function does not perform properly or if
any of the lamps remain illuminated when the
control is off, disconnect the power connector from
the control unit and contact the nearest service
center.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in
property damage, serious injury, or death to you, to passengers, or
to others.

MAINTENANCE.
A.
General.
WARNING
Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause reduced effective-
ness of the light. Do not use cleaning agents (which will
cause crazing) such as strong detergents, solvents, or
petroleum products. If crazing of lenses does occur,
reliability of light for emergency signalling purposes may
be reduced until lenses are replaced.
Ordinary cleaning of the plastic lenses can be accom-
plished by using mild soap and a soft rag. Should fine scratches or
a haze appear on a lens, they can ordinarily be removed with a
non-abrasive, high quality, one-step, automotive paste cleaner/wax
and a soft cloth.
B.
Lamp Replacement.
CAUTION
Use of higher wattage lamps can result in damage to the
colored lenses.
1.
See figure 3. Remove and retain the two screws
which secure the lens. Carefully pull the lens straight away from
the light assembly.
