The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an
emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can
proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against trafc, responding at a high rate of speed, or
walking on or around trafc lanes. The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct
mounting and wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The
vehicle operator should insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator
should insure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or
compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized
personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning
devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes
no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Proper installation is vital to the performance
of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the
operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency
situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the output performance
of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate the system
without losing eye contact with the roadway. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages
and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of
electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle

damage, including re. Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After
installation of any electronic device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of
interference. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding
circuit with radio communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufcient 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 specied 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. PROPER
INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING
DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
Unpacking & Pre-installation
Carefully remove the SuperVisor and place it on a at surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage the cable coming out of
the top. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. Report any damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton.
Standard light bars are built to operate on 12 volt D.C. negative ground (earth) vehicles. If you have an electrical system other than 12
volt D.C. negative ground (earth), and have not ordered a specially wired light bar, contact the factory for instructions.
Test the unit before installation. To test, touch the black wire to the ground (earth) and the other wires to +12 volts D.C., in accordance
with the instructions attached to the cable (an automotive battery is preferable for this test). A battery charger may be used, but note that
some electronic options may not operate normally when powered by a battery charger. If problems occur at this point, contact the factory.
Note: Before beginning the installation process, be absolutely certain
that the Light Bar functions as desired (See page 6 for options)!
WARNING!
Mounting Hardware - All mounting hardware is packed in a small bag inside the main carton. There are four brackets used to mount
the SuperVisor to the vehicle. These are discussed in detail later.
Utilizing non-factory supplied screws and/or mounting brackets and/or the improper
number of screws may result in loss of warranty coverage on the equipment.

Installation and Mounting Instructions
Step 1 Remove the plastic covers from the driver and passenger outer sun visor pivot brackets (see Figures 1 & 2). Remove the
(2) small Torx screws as shown in Figure 3 from each pivot bracket but leave the screws slightly threaded in the plastic brackets. Pull
the visor pivot brackets down from the headliner and carefully allow the sun visors to hang by the vehicle's attached vanity mirror light
wires. Rethread the Torx screws back into the brackets until they are almost bottomed out.
Step 2 With a thin at blade screwdriver remove the inner sun visor retaining clips by carefully prying open the small screw cover
that is attached to the visor clips (see Figure 4). Unscrew the single Torx screw holding each clip in place as shown in Figure 5.
Step 3 Attach the inner visor clip brackets to the SuperVisor Inner Mounting Brackets as shown in Figure 6 and position them up to
the headliner as shown in gure 7 page 4. Loosely thread the supplied #8 X 1" Phillips Truss Head Black Oxide Screw up through the
vehicle's plastic inner visor clip and into the screw hole in the vehicle's headliner. Leave the screws very loose so that you can swing
the SuperVisor Inner Mounting Brackets to one side as shown in Figure 8 page 4.
Step 4 Route the SuperVisor's cable to the desired side of the vehicle and through the cable clearance slot at the end of the Super-
Visor's Outer Panel. Make sure the cable will not interfere with the vehicle's headliner and windshield as you position the SuperVisor
up to the headliner in front of the SuperVisor Inner Mounting Brackets as shown in Figure 9 page 4.
Step 5 Swing the SuperVisor's Inner Mounting Brackets into mounting position with the SuperVisor, line up the slots in the SuperVi-
sor Inner Mounting Brackets with the threaded holes in the SuperVisor, and thread the supplied 1/4"-20 screws and internal tooth lock
washers through the slots and into the SuperVisor's Outer Panel (see Figure 10 page 4).
Step 6 Attach the vehicle's plastic outer visor pivot brackets to the supplied SuperVisor Outer Mounting Brackets noting the differ-
ence between the passenger and driver side brackets and screw the (2) Torx screws as shown in Figure 11 on page 4. Tighten the
screws up to bring the brackets up against the headliner but do not fully tighten any of the screws at this time.
Step 7 Thread the supplied 1/4"-20 screws and internal tooth lock washers through the slot in the SuperVisor's Outer Mounting
Brackets and into the SuperVisor's Outer Panel (see Figure 12 page 4).
Step 8 Tighten the two #8 X 1" Phillips Truss Head Black Oxide center inner mounting screws (see Figure 13 page 4).
Step 9 Make sure the SuperVisor is exactly centered in the vehicle and while pushing the SuperVisor very tightly up against the
headliner, tighten the (2) 1/4"-20 SuperVisor Inner Mounting Bracket screws as shown in Figure 14 then tighten the (2) 1/4"-20 SuperVisor Outer Mounting Bracket screws as shown in Figure 15 page 4. Note: It is best to have an assistant push up on the SuperVi-
sor while you tighten the screw to assure that it is tight against the vehicle's headliner.
Step 10 Replace the plastic covers on the driver and passenger outer sun visor pivot brackets (see Figure 16 page 4).
