IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of " from any radio antennas! Permanent Mounting / Bracket or Stud Mount: This mounting style requires removal of the headliner. There may be a roof support member that runs from the drivers to the passengers side of the vehicle. Do not drill through this member. Caution: Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling. Be absolutely 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.. Insert the stud mounts (or brackets) under the lip in the bottom of the extrusion. (rounded end first) and pivot the bracket so that the other end slides under the other lip in the extrusion (Fig. ). The mounting hardware must be clear of the lightbar to get the bracket into the extrusion. Fig. Mounting hardware must be clear of lightbar on both ends of bracket. Insert rounded end under lip in extrusion Swing opposite end under other lip. Remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes (Fig. ) as well as the / dia. wire passage hole. De-burr all the holes and install a rubber grommet (customer supplied) into the wire passage hole.. Route the wires through the grommet and to the necessary switches and power source as shown in the wiring diagram.. Secure the lightbar to the vehicle using the hardware provided. From the underside of the mounting surface, apply RTV around each mounting hole and the grommeted wire passage hole. IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to make sure that the installation and operation of this product will not interfere with or compromise the operation or efficiency of any vehicle equipment! Before returning the vehicle to active service, visually confirm the proper operation of this product, as well as all vehicle components/equipment. Temporary Mount (Magnetic or Suction Cup): WARNING: The use of any magnetically mounted warning device on the outside of a vehicle in motion is not recommended and is at the sole risk and responsibility of the user. Magnetic/suction: Thoroughly clean the proposed mounting surface prior to mounting. For suction cup mounting, wipe the suction cup clean, place the beacon onto its mounting surface and apply gentle pressure to ensure a good seal has been achieved. The Magnetic/Suction Cups mount the same way as standard suction cups but are best suited to a flat, steel surface. Magnetic: Place the lightbar onto the mounting surface and plug it into the vehicle cigar lighter. NOTE: Insert into the base the same as the permanent mount brackets. Wiring: WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least % of the maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry the load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!. Make sure that the brackets are sitting all the way at each end of the extrusion, then secure them with the supplied allen set screws.. Place the lightbar in the exact mounting location. Mark the location of the (or ) mounting holes onto the mounting surface, and the area for the wire passage hole. This hole should be located directly below where the wires exit the extrusion.
