1/4" - 1/2" Gap Required
Figure 3.
1. Keeping the lightbar level with the road, attach
mounting feet to the roof of the vehicle using the
supplied T-bolts. If the vehicle is pursuit rated, there will
be 8 supplied T-bolts. For non-pursuit rated vehicles,
there will be 4 supplied T-bolts. If the light bar needs to
be leveled, a 1.5° wedge has been provided.
2. Place lightbar centered on the roof, and hold
brackets up to the lightbar. A 1/4" to 1/2" gap should
be between the hook bracket and front wall of the
mounting foot prior to putting any tension on the hook
bracket bolt (See Figure 3.) Adjust the mounting foot
position to accomodate for this gap.
3. Tighten 2 lock nuts to secure mounting foot to
lightbar with max torque between 80-90in/lbs. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
4. Using holes in the hook bracket as a template, drill 4
holes in the roof using the appropriate size drill. Secure
hook bracket to roof with 4 screws on each side.
Tighten hook bracket bolts with max torque 40-50in/
lbs.
5.
Tighten the hook bracket bolts, torque details below:
Due to different vehicle construction and mounting
locations, the torque levels for connecting hooks to the
lightbar foot may be different based on the vehicle.
A. Minimum requirement for torque should
be 10 IN/LB, with a maximum level of 45
IN/LB.*
B. When installing the bolts connecting the
hook to the lightbar foot, monitor both the
lightbar and roof of the vehicle.
C. Tighten to ensure there is no movement of
the light bar or foot by ensuring there is no
movement either side to side, or front to rear
after the torque has been done.
The lightbar must be securely mounted to the vehicle
for safe operation.
*Deflection of the lightbar and/or the roof of the vehicle
may occur when torquing the bolts connecting the hook
to the light bar foot. Any deflection should be kept at
a minimum to avoid damage to the lightbar or vehicle.
6. Install the cover door over the hook bracket bolt to
finish the assembly. Place tab of one side into place
and then push the second tab into place with a flat-
head screw driver.
