IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of 16” from any radio antennas!
Permanent Mounting:
1.
Locate the mounting foot and locking plate included with your lightbar. If not already present,
install the locking plate onto the mounting foot using the supplied allen set screws (Fig. 1).
2.
Flip the lightbar upside-down to expose the bottom of the extrusion. Place the mounting foot
into the extrusion and rotate the foot so that the top of the foot swings into position under the
lips in the extrusion (Figs. 2, 3 & 4).
NOTE:
You do not need the anchor plate shown in
Figs. 2 - 4. This is used in strap mounting.
3.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining mounting foot and return the lightbar to its right
side-up position.
4.
Position the lightbar onto the vehicle roof in the desired mounting location. One often selected
location is directly above the B-pillars. This area is the strongest part of the roof. Check the light bar
cable exit location to be sure that the lightbar is facing the proper direction (Cable exits in rear).
5.
Adjust the mounting feet outwards so that they are as close to the edge of the roof as possible (see below).
When the mounting feet are properly positioned, lightly tighten the allen head set screws.
6.
Turn the lightbar upside down and tighten all of the mounting foot allen head set screws (Fig.4) to 14-16 In. Lbs.
With the lightbar upside down, drill 2 holes into the mounting foot (for the mounting bolts) using the holes in the
mounting pads as guides, in the location shown in figure 1.
7.
You will need to lower the vehicle headliner (if present) for steps 7 & 8.Place the lightbar in its final mounting position
on the vehicle, mark the mounting hole locations onto the mounting surface, remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes.
8.
Place the lightbar back onto the vehicle lined up with the mounting holes and secure the mounting feet to the vehicle using the supplied hardware
Strap Mounting:
1.
Locate the mounting foot, anchor plate and locking plate included with your lightbar. If not
already present, loosely install the locking plate onto the mounting foot using the supplied
allen set screws (Fig. 5).
2.
Flip the lightbar upside-down and Install an anchor plate onto the extrusion, then place a
mounting foot onto the extrusion (Fig. 2). Rotate the foot 90° counter-clockwise (Fig. 3) so
that both sides slide under the lip in the extrusion.
3.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining mounting foot and anchor plate, and return the
lightbar to its right side-up position.
4.
Position the lightbar on the vehicle roof and adjust the two mounting feet outwards so that
the mounting pads are resting near the edge of the roof (See notes above). When properly
positioned, tighten the allen screws to 14-16 In. Lbs. Slide the anchor plates up to the
mounting feet and tighten the allen screws securing the anchor plates.
5.
Insert the mounting strap onto the mounting foot (Fig. 5). Be sure that the strap fits flush
against the vehicle where it will be secured. Insert the tension bolt through the mounting
strap and into the anchor plate. Tighten slightly with a long-shafted, Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat procedure for other side of vehicle.
6.
Use the two holes in the end of the strap as a template to drill the pilot holes for the sheet
metal screws through the strap and into the vehicle. Repeat for other side of the vehicle.
7.
Screw the sheet metal screws into the holes you drilled in step 6 and tighten firmly. Repeat
for other side of the vehicle.
8.
Now firmly tighten the tension bolt to secure the lightbar to the vehicle.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the lightbar mounting feet must be sitting as close to the edge of the roof as possible and in full contact
with the roof and not be hanging off the edge.
IMPORTANT: For strap mounting, be sure you have the right sized lightbar for your
vehicle. The bar should be approximately the same width as the vehicle roof. If too
large or small it will not mount properly and may come loose during driving.
