Measure distance on lightbar being mounted
6½"
IMPORTANT! The lightbar must be a minimum of 16" from any radio
antennas.
NOTE: There may be a roof support member that spans the distance
between the driver’s and passengers side. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH
THIS MEMBER! Adjust the location until the holes can be drilled
without contacting this support member.
Caution:
Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling.
It is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle
components could be damaged by this process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a
different mounting location.
Permanent Mounting:
1.
Install the mounting bracket to the mounting foot using the supplied
5/16 FLAT WASHERS and 5/16 - 18 ELASTIC STOP NUTS (Fig. 1).
Do NOT install the optional spacers yet.
2.
Place the bracket into the track on the bottom of the extruded base of
the lightbar and twist it into position (Fig. 2).
3.
Slide the bracket to the outer end of the base extrusion and secure
the bracket to the extrusion using the four 1/4 - 20 X 1/2 ALLEN SET
SCREWS (Fig. 2). Repeat steps 1 - 3 for other side of lightbar.
4.
Installing Spacers:
Spacers are used as required to adjust the
lightbars clearance from the vehicle roof. Spacers are also used to
make the lightbar level with the road so that the light does not project
up or down when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. Each
spacer creates a 2° incline.
Lightbar angle:
Place the lightbar onto
the vehicle roof in its exact mounting
location and use a level to check the
angle of the lightbar. If (because of the
curvature of the vehicle roof) the front
and rear lights project up or down, you
will need to install one of the supplied
spacers. Note the angle of the tilt to determine where to place the spacer.
Installation:
Remove the mounting feet (not the bracket) and install the
spacer (maximum 1 per side) then reinstall the feet.
Distance from roof:
The lightbar must be no closer than 1/2 inch (at the
closest point) from the vehicle roof.
Installation:
Remove the mounting feet
(not the bracket), install the spacers as shown (maximum 2 per side) and
reinstall feet.
5.
Position
the
lightbar onto
the vehicle in
its
exact
mounting
location and
mark
the
location of the
mounting
holes
onto the mounting
surface
using
the
mounting
feet
as
templates.
If the permanent
mounting holes in
the
mounting
feet
are
difficult
to
access, you
can use the
measuremen
ts shown here
to mark off and
d
rill the mounting holes. You will
also need to measure the
distance between the mounting
feet for your application since
lightbar width will depend on the
lightbar you are mounting.
6.
Remove the lightbar and drill the
4 mounting holes.
7.
Install the lightbar using the
supplied 1/4 - 20 X 1-1/2” Socket
Head Screw, 1/4” Internal Tooth
Lock Washer and 1/4 - 20 X 7/16
Hex Nut.
Stack 2 spacers face to face to
raise the height of the lightbar .
