All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights
are polarity protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires
connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the
battery for their rated load. Testing the light before this fuse is
properly installed will void the warranty on the light.
CAUTION !!
1. Your new warning light comes complete with a
foam mounting gasket, two mounting screws,
two lock washers, and two well nuts.
2. These non-flanged lights come equipped with a
combination base, allowing the light to be
mounted on either a 1/2" NPT conduit pipe or
permanently mounted. For NPT pipe, mount the
light using the threaded entrance hole in the
base of the light, then skip to Step 11. For the
permanent mount, proceed to Step 3.
3. Carefully remove the dome as follows:
4. Examine the inside of
the base and use a
punch or drill to remove
the knock-outs present.
5. Remove the foam gasket from the
shipping box. Each gasket comes
furnished with three holes. (NOTE:
You might have to stretch the gas-
ket to find the location of the holes.)
Place the gasket in the exact posi-
tion the light is to be mounted
6. Using the gasket as a template, mark the holes on the mounting surface. Take care to
ensure that the gasket does not move while you are marking each of the holes.
7. Remove the gasket and drill a 3/8" hole in the outer two locations only.
CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner of the vehicle below.
8. Push the enclosed rubber well nuts through the holes until the
bottom side of the wider lip rests on the surface of the vehicle.
9. If you are mounting the light on a vehicle and plan to wire it
through the roof of the vehicle remove the headliner from the
inside of the vehicle. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center marked
location. Place the light on the surface of the vehicle, routing
the wires through the hole.
10. To secure the light to your mounting
surface, align the holes with the well
nuts. Install the two screws through
the base, into the well nuts, and
tighten until snug.
