Code 3 E-10 Beacon Series - Manual (Page 3)

3
1) Rust Stains: The magnetic mount is not intended as a permanent mounting for the beacon. Long
duration usage of any magnet will expose the high iron content of the steel causing rust. The device
should be removed when not used to prevent rust stains. Metallic debris collected by the magnet
will also contribute to rust stains. Insure that the magnet is kept clean.
2) Surface rust stains can usually be removed with chrome polish, available at most auto part
stores.
3) As with any magnetically-mounted warning device, its use on the exterior of a moving vehicle
is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
This magnetic mount product provides a secure, temporary installation in most circumstances and is recommended for sta-
tionary use only. For maximum warning signal, mount the beacon on the highest possible flat, level surface of the vehicle.
Magnetic Mounting
The Magnetic Based Beacon provides a secure, temporary installation in most circumstances. The
beacon should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs. The
beacon should not be used on a vinyl covered roof. Before installing, check the magnet for clinging
debris. Any foreign matter can reduce holding power and scratch your vehicle's paint. The roof surface
should be dry and have a dull, not glossy finish. A glossy, highly waxed finish will reduce the friction; and
the magnet, though quite powerful, will have a greatly reduced effect. Place and remove your beacon
without sliding to avoid scratching. When removing, lift one edge straight up without sliding. When the
beacon is placed on the roof, it should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily, a
proper installation has not been achieved, most probably for one of the reasons mentioned above. In
this situation, the user should not attempt to drive with the beacon in place. If the user has attempted
to obtain a good installation and still has questions, we recommend that the user (customer) contact his/
her distributor or the factory.
Do not install the beacon closer than 20" to any antenna or aerial.
The Beacon is equipped with a cord that plugs into a 12 Volt D.C. cigarette lighter. If you rotate and push
with reasonably moderate force, this should insure the best possible connection.
WARNING!
Do not oil or grease this unit. It is constructed with permanently lubricated bearings which do not need
lubrication. Keep the unit clean by wiping away any debris or dirt. Clean lens and base with mild soap
and water, or lens polish using a soft cloth. The lens may be removed, and the lamps replaced. Use only
the same type lamps, with the same rated wattage and voltage.
Use no SOLVENTS on lens.
Failure to follow above warnings or installation and user instructions can result in loss of
warranty coverage.
Lamps are extremely hot! Allow to cool completely before attempting to remove.
Gloves and eye protection should be worn when handling halogen lamps as they
are pressurized and accidental breakage can result in flying glass.
