PRE-INSTALLATION
To prevent damage to lightbar and vehicle, ensure that all equipment operates
properly, and carefully plan where to mount and wire the lightbar and
controlling equipment:
- Verify that the lightbar and mounting hardware fit the vehicle.
- Pre-configure desired lightbar functions (e.g. flash pattern)
- Determine:
- the location to mount the lightbar.
- the location to route the lightbar’s power/function cable.
* **WARNING** : Take extreme care when routing wires around airbag areas to not interfere with it’s proper operation.
- Separate all electronic equipment wiring from two-way radio equipment wiring.
- To avoid interference, keep two-way radio antennas a minimum of 50cm away from warning equipment.
- Before drilling holes in ANY part of the vehicles, ensure that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts that could be damaged, such as brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wiring, or other vital parts.
- After drilling holes, deburr and smooth sharp edges, and insert grommets to protect the wires from chafing.
- When frame-ground the equipment, use the manufacturer-supplied ground locations in the vehicle.

PERMANENT MOUNT
Install the Lightbar on the Vehicle Roof
-
Place lightbar on the vehicle roof at the desired location. The lightbar is usually centred on the door center post (B-pillar).
-
Adjust both mounting feet inward or outward as necessary until the footpads rest near the edge of the roof or gutter (where the roof is the most rigid).
-
Level the lightbar by shifting the lightbar slightly forward or backward.
-
Using the mounting feet as a template, mark two drilling holes on each side of the vehicle roof.
-
Remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes as marked.
WARNING : DO NOT DRILL THROUGH the roof support structure that spans the distance between the driver’s and passenger’s side. Drilling through this will weaken the roof of the vehicle. -
Tighten the bolts that secure the mounting feet to the lightbar.
-
Place lightbar on the vehicle roof and align the mounting holes with the mounting feet. Secure mounting feet to the vehicle roof with carriage bolts and nuts (user-supplied).
-
Apply silicone sealant around mounting holes (wherever nessassary) to prevent possible water leakage.
NOTE : Set driver torque force at 30~40 kgf-cm. NOTE : After installation, frequently inspect the lightbar and mounting feet to ensure that all fasteners are tight.
STRAP KIT MOUNT
Install the Lightbar on the Vehicle Roof
The Strap Kit is designed for specific vehicle model. Before installation,
ensure that the correct strap kit is used.
-
Place the lightbar on the vehicle roof at the desired location. Usually, the lightbar should be centered on the center door post (B-pillar).
NOTE : Water may leak into the vehicle interior if the straps are improperly installed. Ensure that the straps are positioned above or near the center door post (B-pillar). -
Determine where the straps will attach to the vehicle.
-
Place the strap in the position on the roof as shown in the diagram.
-
Using the mounting strap as template and mark drilling holes on the vehicle.
-
Remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes as marked.
-
Apply silicone sealant around the holes before attaching the straps.
-
Secure the straps to the vehicle with screws (user supplied).
-
Place the lightbar on to the vehicle roof and align the strap bolt holes with lock nuts.
-
Insert the bolt through the strap hole to the lock nut.
-
Secure the bolt firmly; repeat steps for the other side; ensure that the lightbar is centered on the roof.
NOTE : Set driver torque force at 30~40 kgf-cm.
RUBBER FEET MOUNT
