Installation:
WARNING! Since this installation will require drilling, it is absolutely necessary
to make sure that no other vehicle components could be damaged by this
process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If damage is
likely, select a different mounting location.
STANDARD MOUNTING:
1.
Dismantle the unit by first removing the 2 sheet metal screws which hold the lens onto the
beacons base and remove the dome and
gasket.
2.
Remove the three screws that hold the
beacon to the beacon bracket and
separate the beacon from it’s mounting
bracket.
3.
Remove the screws that hold the beacon
bracket to the base and slide the bracket
up and out so you can access the
mounting holes on the bottom of the
base.
4.
Position the base housing onto the
vehicle so that the lower light device is
facing directly rearward, locate the three
mounting holes drilled into the base
housing (See diagram) and mark them off
on the mounting surface of the vehicle.
5.
Remove the unit and position the base
gasket onto the vehicle. Line the gasket
up with the marks you made for the
mounting screws and mark off the center wire access hole using the gasket as a template.
6.
Drill the base mounting holes for the three #10 sheet metal screws and drill the center wire
access hole to 3/8 inch (Grommet wire hole as needed / Customer supplied).
7.
Feed the wires out of the unit, through the mounting gasket and through the access hole
and connect them to your power source. (See wiring)
8.
