Hook-on Mounting
Begin the installation by attaching the rubber
feet to the mounting brackets using the 1/4"
bolts and acorn nuts provided. (See
Illustration 3;) do not install shims
at this time. Using a pad to
protect the roof of the vehicle,
place the light bar on the roof
and determine the correct
location of the bar and the best
pair of holes for attaching the
mounting tabs. Attach the
washers provided and one of
the three pairs of 1/4" mounting
holes supplied on each end of
the bar. (See Illustration 3 for
alternate hole locations.) Place
the bar on the vehicle
roof and attempt to
locate a position in
which the bar is level
fore and aft. If leveling
is required, install the
shim washers at this
time. (See Illustration 3.) If additional leveling is still needed, contact the factory for assistance. Lift each end
of the light bar and insert the 5/16-18 x 2-1/2" hex bolt from the back side. (See Illustration 3.) Install the
gutter hooks, lock washers, trim nuts, and tighten until secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN: It is not necessary
to dimple the roof in order to achieve a secure and stable mount.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of the siren and the safe operation of the
emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency
vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency
situation. The siren system should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the
acoustical performance of the system, B) Limit as much as practical the noise level in the
passenger compartment of the vehicle, C) Place the controls within convenient reach of
the operator so that he/she can operate the system without losing eye contact with the
roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents.
Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or
shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause
personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE
OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
