8. When both mounting feet are in their proper position, lightly tighten the
allen head set screws.
9. Return the lightbar to an upside down position. Slide each anchor plate
outwards until it is fully engaged with its corresponding mounting foot.
With the mounting foot and anchor plate in their proper positions firmly
tighten all of the set screws (2 or 4 per side). Flip the lightbar right side-
up and return it to its mounting position.
10.Open both drivers side doors. In the area directly below the mounting
foot, carefully pull the drivers side weather-strip away from the vehicle.
Remove enough so that the area where the mounting strap will be
secured to the vehicle is exposed. Repeat for passenger side.
11.Insert the mounting strap through the mounting foot. Be sure that the
strap fits flush against the area where it will be secured onto the vehicle.
Insert the tension bolt through the mounting strap and into the anchor
plate and secure it with the tinnerman nut. Tighten slightly with a long
shafted, Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure for passenger side.
12. If your mounting strap has mounting holes in the end, use these holes
as a template to drill holes through the strap and into the vehicle and
secure it with sheet metal screws. Repeat passenger side.
13.Firmly tighten the tension bolts to secure the lightbar to the vehicle.
NOTE: Model MKAJ is an adjustable mounting foot. On this model
you may loosen the screws on the rear of the foot and adjust the
angle of the lightbar. This feature can be used if the angle of the roof
is not level with the road.
IMPORTANT: To adjust the leveling screws you must use a torque
wrench set at 35 to 40 ft. lbs.
Installation: If your lightbar has a 5” mounting foot, it will
assemble differently than the standard mounting foot. It also
uses an extension to compensate for the extra height. Follow
these illustrations for assembly. Mounting to the lightbar is
the same.
