This unit must be mounted within the interior passenger compartment of the vehicle only. I t
is not intended for use in exterior applications.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied
to the device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should
be mounted. This device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones
specified by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment area of
an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or
dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and
electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors.
Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a method other than permanent installation is not
recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving, sudden braking or collision.
Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury.
Installation & Mounting
The Warrior™ and Gladiator™ lights are interior lights designed for easy mounting . The following instruc-
tions must be followed to insure that the unit is mounted correctly.
For suction cup mounting, attach the (3) set of suction cups to (3) of the mounting bracket (see Fig. 1 for
orientation) with the #10 self tapping screws, do not overtighten the screws. Next, fasten the bracket without
suction cups with (2) #10-24 machine screws, #10 lock washers and #10-24 nuts, but do not tighten the nuts
at this time. Make sure one screw captures the tether cord. After the suction cup assembly is fastened to
the unit, adjust the bracket so that the unit will be level with the ground when mounted to the windshield. Be
certain that the vehicle is on level ground before adjusting the bracket. Also try to keep the unit as close to
the windshield as possible. This can be adjusted by sliding the suction cup assembly back or forward on
the unit before tightening it down. When the angle is set, tighten all screws and nuts. The mounting brack-
ets (#4 or #6 in Fig. 1) can be reversed to improve the fit to the window . The Warrior version disassembles
with the removal of two #6x5/8" sheet metal screws. To disassemble the Gladiator, remove the lighthead
(attached with two 6-32 machine screws) then remove the two #6x5/8" sheet metal screws. T09795 can be
added to the visor to take up any gap that remains. The visor can also be trimmed with scissors or tin snips
to improve the fit.
Once the unit is mounted on the windshield, locate a place to mount other end of the tether cord. Depending
on where the unit is mounted, the tether cord can be attached anywhere on the dash or to the roof of the
vehicle, as long as it is into sheet metal. Hold the free end of the tether cord in position and verify that the
LED unit cannot reach the passenger or driver. Then, attach the tether cord to this section of sheet metal
(not to plastic or rubber). Note: When removing the unit from the windshield be sure to release the suction
cups by lifting the tabs on each suction cup. If the unit is pulled off the windshield, it could result in stripping
out the holes in the suction cups.
The L-Bracket Mounting option allows the LED unit to be mounted to the rear deck of your vehicle. The
following instructions must be followed to insure that the unit is mounted correctly:
Attach the mounting hardware to the unit as shown in Fig. 1. Place the unit against the rear deck and make
adjustments with the hardware until the product is located in an area that does not obstruct the view or inflict
injury to either driver or passenger. Tighten loose hardware and mark the position of each mounting foot.
Remove bracket assemblies from the unit. Using the marked positions, mount the brackets on the rear deck
with user supplied sheet metal screws or through-bolts. Adjust the unit to provide the most effective signal.
Caution: The unit must be mounted through the steel of the vehicle. Avoid mounting to plastic or
other non-structural members.
This Product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage,
DO NOT stare into light beam at close range.
