Before beginning the installation:

- Determine where the Traffic Director is to be mounted (on your lightbar, on
your roof, in your rear window, etc.

- Check to see that there are no obstructions hindering the visibility of your
traffic director.

- Then select a location to mount your controller. The controller must be
located in a dry location out of direct sunlight, free of dirt and dust. Under the
vehicle's instrument panel is usually the best choice.

- Once you have selected these locations, determine the path your cable,
which connects the controller to the Traffic Director, will take. The cable
should exit the left side of the Traffic Director when you are facing both the
stick and the controller.

These traffic directors come with a short pigtail out of the side of the light that
attaches to the main harness. The available lengths for the harnesses are 15',
30', 45', and 60'. Be sure the harness you ordered is long enough for proper
installation. Star does not recommend “splicing in” additional cable when
the supplied cable is too short. If it is too short, you will need to order a
harness of the correct length.

It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the lightbar is
mounted securely. Check your light every time you enter the
vehicle to ensure that it is mounted securely. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for the secure mounting of this light.

Mounting Instructions

Please Note: These instructions are provided as a general guideline only. Some
vehicles may require special mounting, wiring, and/or weather-sealing. This is the
sole responsibility of the installer. Star Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. assumes no

responsibility for the integrity of the installation for this or any of its products.

1. Caution: There are two vapor vent holes drilled in the bottom of each endcap.
These are not visible, so be sure that

the cable exits the left side of the
Traffic Director when you are facing
both the stick and the controller.

2. Each Traffic Director assembly
comes equipped with two slots
that run along the entire length of
the rear of the extrusion.

The top slot will contain four
¼” x 20 x ¾” hex head bolts
pre-installed.

3. Two “L”-Brackets (274-LLBK) are included
with each traffic director to assist in

mounting.

4. Also included are four flat washers, four split
washers, and four nuts to attach the
L-Brackets to your traffic director.

In addition, there are four ¼” x 20 x ¾” hex
head bolts enclosed that can be optionally
used to mount the L-Brackets to your
mounting surface.

5. Slide the mounting bolts to their desired location (usually two bolts towards each end)
and mount the bolts through pre-drilled holes in your vehicle (for direct mounting)
or through the slots in the L-Brackets. Use a flat washer,
split washer, and nut on the bolt. You can mount
the L-Bracket with the base bending towards the
bar (as pictured below) or bending away
from the bar.

6. If you are using the L-brackets
provided, use the four
enclosed bolts or
other locally
obtained fasteners
to attach the L­Brackets to your
mounting surface.
