INTRODUCTION: The Magnet Mount Kits offer a secure, temporary mount. The included adhesive disk(s) should be placed on the bottom of the magnet(s) to prevent scratching the vehicle finish upon installation. The light should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure there is no debris on the bottom of the light or on the roof of the vehicle, which could reduce the holding power of the magnet. Place and remove the light without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the light should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily, a proper installation has not been obtained. To protect the light and magnet mount assembly, return light to the box when not in use. Do not attempt to attach the light to an ice-covered surface. Note: The Magnet Mount is not recommended for use on a moving vehicle, nor is it intended as a permanent mount for the light. Long duration usage of the magnet in the presence of moisture will cause the steel to rust. The Vacuum-Magnet Mount kits feature a magnet(s) inside of the suction cup(s) for a secure, temporary mount. The light should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure there is no debris on the bottom of the light or on the roof of the vehicle, which could reduce the holding power of the suction cup(s) and magnet(s). Place and remove the light without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the light should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily, a proper installation has not been obtained. To release the vacuum, lift the tab to release the airlock. To protect the Vacuum-Magnet Mount assembly, return the light to the box when not in use. Do not attempt to attach the light to an ice-covered surface.! WARNING! Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation using the Vacuum Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when fitted to the center of a vehicle roof of steel construction. Higher speeds could cause the mount to fail, resulting in the beacon/minibar flying off of the vehicle, which could cause damage to your and other vehicles, and injury or death to the passengers. The Vacuum Mount is not intended as a permanent mounting for the beacon/minibar. Metallic debris collected by the Vacuum Mount will contribute to rust stains. Ensure that the Vacuum Mount is kept clean. 920-5500-00 Rev. H Page 1 of 5
