Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators
10
• 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.
• At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren
system is securely attached and operating properly.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the tiniting, and the
angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt, defects, and steeply angled glass reduce
the light output of the warning light. This may reduce the effectiveness of the light as a warning
signal. If your vehicle has dirty, tinted, or steeply angled glass, use extra caution when driving
your vehicle or blocking the right of way with your vehicle.
• Suction cup mounting is for temporary applications only. The unit should be removed from the
window and stored securely when not in use. Temperature changes and sunlight can cause suction
cups to lose holding power. Periodically check the unit to be sure the suction cups have a firm grip
on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light could fall off of the vehicle causing injury
and damage.
• The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface finish, surface
flatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface.
Therefore, to promote proper magnetic mounting:
✓
The mounting surface and magnets must be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that
prevent good surface contact.
✓
Ensure that the mounting surface is flat.
✓
A magnet mounting system should not be used on vehicles with vinyl tops.
✓
To prevent the light assembly from sliding on mounting surface, avoid quick acceleration and
hard stops.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
