SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS
FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS
People's lives depend on your safe instal-
lation of our products. It is important to
read, understand and follow all instructions
shipped with the products. In addition, listed
below are some other important safety in-
structions and precautions you should follow:
• To properly install a light assembly: you must
have a good understanding of automotive
electrical procedures and systems, along with
proficiency in the installation and use of safety
warning equipment.
• When installing equipment or wiring inside air
bag equipped vehicles, the installer MUST en‑
sure that the equipment or wiring is installed
ONLY in areas recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. Failure to observe this warn‑
ing will reduce the effectiveness of the air bag,
damage the air bag, or potentially damage or
dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury
or death to you or others.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure
that both sides of the surface are clear of any‑
thing that could be damaged.
• A light system is a high current device. In
order for it to function properly, a separate
ground connection must be made. If practical,
it should be connected to the negative battery
terminal. At a minimum, it may be attached
to a solid metal body or chassis part that will
provide an effective ground path as long as the
light system is to be used.
• Locate light system controls so the VEHICLE
and CONTROLS can be operated safely under
all driving conditions.
• This product contains high intensity LED de‑
vices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT stare
into the light beam at close range.
• You should frequently inspect the light system
to ensure that it is operating properly and that
it is securely attached to the vehicle.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer
to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling
the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in property damage, serious
injury, or death to you or others.
