Mounting the TA85LL** Lightbar...
Selecting a Location
•
When routing the wires, it is important to choose a
path that will keep these wires away from excessive
heat and from any vehicle equipment that could
compromise the integrity of the wires (ex. trunk lids,
door jams, etc.).
•
When the best mounting location has been
determined, securely fasten the unit to it’s mounting
surface using the supplied hardware.
Caution:
As it will be necessary to drill holes into the
mounting surface, the installer MUST be
sure that no vehicle components or other
vital parts will be damaged by the drilling
process. Check both sides of the mounting
surface before drilling begins!
Note:
There are two ways to mount the
TA85LL** Light Array. Both methods require the
unit to be secured to the mounting surface using
the supplied sheet metal screws. The cable
harness can either be routed directly into the
mounting surface or routed out the side of the end
cap (
see illustration below
). When facing the L.E.D.
display, the cable harness should exit from the
right side of the bar.
1.
Position the unit in its proposed mounting location to
ensure that it fits properly. With the unit in place, use an
awl or other suitable tool and scribe the areas to be
drilled, based on the desired style.
Style 1 -
Remove the unit from its mounting area and, using a
5/8” drill bit, drill a hole for the cable harness to pass. Affix the
5/8” grommet to the hole and feed the cable harness through
the grommet.
Style 2
(OPTIONAL) - To route the cable harness through the
end cap a 5/8” passage hole must be drilled. Remove the
endcap from the light array, via. the machine screws, as to
prevent damage to the cable harness and drill the hole. Place
the 5/8” grommet on the hole and feed the cable through.
Once this is done, secure the endcap back onto the light
array.
2.
Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in each
of the areas scribed in the previous step.
3.
Return the unit to its mounting location and using the
supplied hardware, mount the unit as shown below.
Note:
Do not install the 10 amp fuse required in
the fuse block, until
all
wire connections are
completed.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING!!!
Do not install this product or route any wires in the
deployment area of your airbag. Equipment mounted or
located in the airbag deployment area will damage or
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, or become a
projectile that could cause serious personal injury or
death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air
bag deployment area.
