Installation & Mounting
Mounting Hardware
All mounting hardware is packed in a small box inside the main carton. The standard kit included with the bar is the PERMX mount. Other
mounting options can be bought separately such as: : (1) Hook-On Type, (1) Tow and Recovery and a second Permanent Type. These
are discussed in detail later. Note: Hook-on mounting for "gutterless" type vehicles will require a special hook for mounting. Several
special application hooks are available. Contact the factory for details.
Utilizing non-factory supplied screws and/or mounting brackets and/or the improper
number of screws may result in loss of warranty coverage on the equipment.

Hook-on Mounting
Begin the installation by attaching the rubber feet to the mounting brackets using the black 1/4" carriage bolts and 1/4" nuts provided.
See Figure 1. (Do not install shims at this time). Place the light bar upside down on a table or other work surface, being careful not to
scratch the lenses. Slide the 5/16" carriage bolts into the frame. Secure the mounting brackets finger tight so they support the weight
of the light bar, but can still be positioned. Locate the vehicle on a level surface. Place the light bar on the roof of the vehicle. Place
a soft pad in the center of the roof to protect the paint. The mounting brackets must be placed so that the rubber feet are resting on
the curved section of the roof, see Figure 2. This is the strongest part of the roof. Once the light bar is centered, tighten the mounting
bracket to the light bar. Using a tape measure and a level, center the light bar from side to side and locate a position on the roof where
the light bar is level.

PERMX Std. mounting kit: (Provided with the light bar)
For flat roof installations.
1. Mount the PERMX mounting feet to the bottom of the light bar frame using the stainless steel hardware
supplied in the kit. Carriage bolts are slid into the frame ends to the desired location on the frame rails.
2. Position the bar onto the vehicle roof and center in desired location.
3. Mark the roof using the holes in the mounting feet as a template for screw hole locations.
4. Remove the light bar from the roof of the vehicle and center punch the (4) mounting holes using a center
punch. (This will prevent drill (walking) during drilling operations)
5. Drill roof of vehicle to accept mounting screws being installed.
6. Set bar onto roof and check for levelness of bar front to back using a level.
7. Place shims under feet of mounting foot if needed to acheive level attitude.
8. Install (4) foam pads under mounting feet to prevent etching of painted surfaces.
9. It is recommended that a bead of silicone sealant be used around each mounting hole in roof to assure
against any water infiltration.
10. Install mounting bolts through vehicle roof up into mounting feet of light bar.
