Lightbars provide an essential function of an effective visual warning system. The use of the lightbar does not insure that all drivers can or will abide by or react to an emergency warning signal, especially at high rates of speeds or long distances. The operator of the vehicle must never take the right of way for granted and it is the operator’s responsibility to proceed safely. The effectiveness of the this lightbar is highly dependant on the correct mounting and wiring. The installer must read and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and warnings in the manual. The vehicle operator should verify daily that the lightbar is securely fastened to the vehicle and properly functioning before operating vehicle. The lightbar is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure they understand and operate the emergency warning devices in compliance with the applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. (SoundOff Signal assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.)

FIXED HEIGHT BRACKETS
&HOOK MOUNTING
1.Mount fixed height brackets (See Figure 1) using supplied (3) T25 torx screws on each side. Temporarily place the lightbar in it’s correct position on the roof of the vehicle. The bar should be positioned about the center line of the “B” pillar.
2.Based on the bar’s position, determine wire entry into vehicle. Mark location for later use. Note: Take into consideration the location of any structural, airbag, or heating and cooling system components that can be in the way of the the wire entry point or wire routing.
3.Install supplied vehicle specific hook brackets using supplied 1/4”-20 x 2.5 Hex Head bolts and Nylon Locking Nuts onto the bar mounting foot as shown in Figure 2. Nut will nest into molded socket to prevent turning and improve ease of installation. It’s recommended that you position the nut into the foot and tap it slightly with a hammer to seat it into the cast foot prior to placing the bar on the roof. This will make installation easier.
4.Adjust fixed height bracket position on the Lightbar by loosening the (3) T25 Torx Screws on each side (See Figure 1). Be sure that there is enough clearance between fixed height brackets and vehicle specific brackets to allow for tensioning to roof. When the correct position is found, tighten T25 torx screws that attach fixed height bracket to lightbar base end plates.
5.Using the vehicle specific hook brackets as a template, drill 4 pilot holes using a #30 (.128 dia.) drill bit on each side of the vehicle.

6.Secure each vehicle specific hook bracket by using the 8 supplied #8 x 1/2” Truss Head Sheet metal screws on each side.
7.Tighten each vehicle specfic hook bracket by turning the 1/4”-20 x 2.5 Hex head bolt clockwise until bar is snug and no side to side or fore to aft movement occurs.
8.Route cables into vehicle. Use supplied rubber grommet in roof for sealing/protection of wires. It is recommended that silicone be placed around grommet to ensure roof sealing.
WARNING - ROUTE WIRES ONLY IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT SUBJECTED TO POTENTIAL WEAR. MAKE SURE TO AVOID ROUTING WIRES IN THE DEPLOYMENT AREA OF YOUR AIR BAG. REFER TO YOUR VEHICLE’S OWNER’S MANUAL FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES.
