Safety Messages
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to ensure 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.
• The service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the glass portion
is touched during installation. Use gloves when handling these components. If the
glass portion has been touched, clean the glass carefully with isopropyl alcohol.
• When 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 wiring passes. 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.
• To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the light bar mounting feet as close to
the outer edge of the roof as possible.
• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten the
adjustment bolts 6 ft-lb to 7 ft-lb. Install keeper plates.
• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated
safely under all driving conditions.
After Installation or Service
• After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
• To ensure proper operation, test all vehicle functions, including horn operation,
vehicle safety functions, and vehicle light systems. Ensure that the installation has not
affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.
• Scratched or dull reflectors, mirrors, or lenses will reduce the effectiveness of
the lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or petroleum based
products when cleaning the lighting system. Replace any optical components that
may have been scratched or crazed during system installation.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system control while driving in a
hazardous situation.
• Frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is
securely attached to the vehicle.
• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to
instructional staff and all operating personnel.
