IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be located a minimum of 16"
from any radio antennas!
Installation:
Be sure you have the right sized lightbar for your vehicle. The lightbar
should be approximately the same width as the vehicle's roof. If the lightbar
is too large or small it may shift or come loose during driving.
1. Locate the mounting foot, anchor plate and locking plate included with
your lightbar. If not already present, loosely install the locking plate
onto the mounting foot using the supplied allen set screws.
2. Flip the lightbar upside-down and place the mounting foot onto the
extrusion (See illustrations below). Rotate the foot 90° counter-
clockwise. Make sure that the edges of the foot slide under the
extrusion mounting lip. Install an anchor plate (with allen screws) onto
the extrusion in the same manner.
3. Repeat this procedure for the remaining mounting foot and anchor
plate and return the lightbar to its right side-up position.
4. Position the lightbar on the vehicle roof and adjust the two mounting
feet outwards so that the mounting pads are resting inside of the
channel on the edge of the roof (Fig. 1). You must also center the
lightbar so that the mounting hole in the strap is centered exactly
where the front and rear door weatherstripping meet (Fig. 2) (so as
not to puncture the weatherstripping). NOTE: There is a vertical line
scribed into the mounting strap, just above the mounting hole to
use as a guide. Make sure that both mounting feet are in full contact
with the roof. When properly positioned, tighten the allen screws to
hold the foot in place. Repeat this procedure for the remaining foot.
(Refer to your lightbar manual for cable exit location, to be sure that
your lightbar is facing the proper direction.)
5. Insert the mounting strap
onto the mounting foot as shown. Be sure that
the strap fits flush against the vehicle where it will
be secured. Insert the tension bolt through the
mounting strap, through the anchor plate and into
the tinnerman nut. Tighten slightly with a long-
shafted, Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure
for the passenger’s side.
6. Use the hole in the end of the strap as a template to drill a pilot hole
for the sheet metal screw through the strap and into the vehicle.
Repeat this for the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
7. Insert the sheet metal screw into the hole you drilled in step 6 and
tighten firmly. Repeat for passenger’s side of the vehicle.
8. Now firmly tighten the tension bolt to secure the lightbar to the vehicle.
Loosely secure foot and locking plate.
