FULL LIGHT BAR
Important Points for Your Safety and Longevity of Your Light Bar
•
Installers are required to have a good understanding of automotive electronic systems and procedures for proper installation.
•
Never stare directly into the LEDs as momentary blindness and/or eye damage may occur.
•
Never take any lights through a car wash. Use only water to clean the outer body/lens of your equipment.
•
Never use a pressure washer to clean any STL products. Inspect and test your product daily to ensure it operates properly and is mounted
correctly.
•
Never cut wires or work on a unit while the unit is still connected to a power source.
•
Never install this product or route any wires through or in the deployment area of the airbag. Doing so may cause serious personal injury as it will
damage or reduce the effectiveness of the airbag by causing the unit to become a projectile. Reference the owner’s manual for your vehicle to find
the airbag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes all responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety
to all passengers in the vehicle.
•
If the product requires you to drill holes, the installer must ensure that the drilling process does not damage any vehicle components or other vital
parts. Check all sides of the mounting surface before beginning to drill. Make sure to deburr all drilled holes and remove any metal remnants or
shards to avoid injury and wires from becoming spliced. Grommets are to be installed in all wire passage holes.
•
Grommets, cable ties, looms, and other installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring. Fuses should be properly sized and
located as close to the power take off points as possible to protect the wiring and device. To protect against short circuits, a fuse is included by STL
for all products. DO NOT use a fuse with a higher amp rating than the initial fuse included by STL for all products.
•
Insulation displacement connectors are not to be used.
•
In order for STL products to operate at optimum efficiency, a secure and good electrical connection to the battery’s Ground Post must be made. The
recommended procedure requires the unit’s ground wire be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post. DO NOT use Circuit Breaks.
•
Instruction manuals should be stored in a safe place for reference if you need to reinstall the unit or perform maintenance. They can also be
found at the main site under the product listing at www.SpeedTechLights.com. If your product is no longer available on the website contact STL’s
Customer Service at 800-757-2581 for assistance.
•
If your product requires the use of a control box or remote device to turn on and control your equipment, make sure it is installed in a location that
allows both the user and the vehicle to operate safely in any driving condition.
•
Never activate or control your equipment in hazardous driving conditions.
•
Use SXL type wire in the engine compartment where higher heat resistance is required according to SAE J-1128. All wires should be in accordance
with the minimum wire size and other recommendations made by the manufacturer and be protected from hot surfaces and moving parts.
•
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, NOTICES, AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
PRODUCT OR VEHICLE THAT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND/OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGER.
Pre-Installation and Testing
BENCH TEST all units prior to installation by connecting the Positive Cable (Red) and Negative Cable (Black) to a power source to ensure all the
features and parts of the Light Bar are functional.

If you have trouble call Customer Service at 800-757-2581 before proceeding.
Maintenance
While STL’s Light Bars are very durable, there are some things you need to keep in mind and practice to preserve the longevity and function of your Bar.
•
Never take any STL Light Bars through a car wash, such as a pressure washer, automatic car wash, brushes that will scratch your equipment or
similar car washes or equipment where chemicals, high pressure water, and materials may scratch or damage your equipment.
•
Use Water (H2O) with a soft cloth to clean your Light Bar and lenses.
•
Yellowing of clear lenses may occur overtime. Lenses can be purchased by calling STL Customer Service at 800-757-2581.
