NOTE: The mounting straps are made to fit the contours of individual
vehicles. The strap
may look different. 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.

Foot
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the
lightbar mounting feet must be sitting as
close to the edge of the roof as possible.
Mounting feet must also be in full contact
with the roof and not be hanging off
the edge. IMPORTANT: For strap mounted bars, be sure you have the right
sized lightbar for your vehicle. The lightbar should be about the same
width as the vehicle roof. If the lightbar is too large or small it will not mount properly to the vehicle and may shift or come loose during driving.
1/2" Minimum Clearance at Closest Point
Insert the tension bolt through the mounting strap and anchor plate, into
the tinnerman nut. Tighten slightly with a long-shafted, Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat procedure for passenger side.
10. If your mounting strap has mounting holes in the end of the strap, use
these holes as a template to drill appropriately sized pilot holes through
the strap and into the vehicle. Repeat for passenger side of the vehicle.
11. 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 40in./lbs.
