it is mounted securely. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for

the secure mounting of this light.

The following mounting instructions describe the standard, most

common way to mount this light. This method may or may not apply to

your vehicle. Because vehicles can vary widely in their design, it may be

necessary to configure the brackets differently than described. Some

applications may require you to design your own custom brackets. The

installer assumes all responsibility for the integrity of the installation. It is

the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the light is secure.

CAUTION: Take extreme caution not to over tighten the screws!!! Over

tightening of the screws can strip the holes.

1. Insert one of the carriage

bolts through one of the

washers. Please note that

washer is used as a spacer

on the square neck of the

carriagebolt. Slide the bolt

and washer through the

back of the left bracket.

Be sure to select the correct

bracket. The larger flange

tapping Phillips pan head screws and

use them to install the left attaching

bracket on the light.

CAUTION: Take extreme caution not

to over tighten the screws!!! Over

tightening of the screws can strip the

holes and result in a faulty mount.

3. Once the left attaching bracket is installed

securely on the light, fasten one of the

forked “L” brackets to the attaching

installed visor clips already located on

the vehicle, in conjunction with the

suction cups or window adhesive

mounts. If you do not have any visor

clips, use theAlternate Mounting

section on the next page.

2. Locate the two visor clips on the vehicle.

The style may vary from vehicle to vehicle.

Some styles use only one screw each,

while others may have more. Verify that

both visor clips are a minimum of 3” from

the center of the window, and a maximum

of 8” from the center.

4. Slide one forked bracket under each visor clip

and tighten the clip such that it securely holds

eachbracketinplace.

5. Once the brackets are installed securely under the visor clips or with a suitable

fastener, check to see that the bottom of the light is level front-to-back. If it is

not level, remove the light from the visor clips and carefully bend the forked

brackets as necessary. Reinstall the light and check again for levelness.

Repeat this process until the light is level.

described installation, or may completely lack any visor clips. An alternate

mounting screw hole is provided in the bracket for these situations. This hole

can be used with an appropriate user supplied screw or other suitable fastener.

securely mount the brackets to the roof brace. When selecting a screw, take care to

ensure that it is capable of supporting the weight of the light and it will not penetrate

theroofofthevehicle.

5. Carefully drill any necessary pilot holes in your roof brace. CAUTION: Take care to

ensure when selecting a screw and drilling the hole that it is capable of

supporting the weight of the lightand that it does not penetrate the roof of the
