Power Cable:
1. Route lightbar power cables as close to vehicles power source (battery) as possible.
2. Install a 10Amp Fuse (customer supplied) to the end of the RED wire of the Lightbar Power Cable.
a. Remove the fuse before connecting any wires to the battery.
b. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.
3. Connect the other end of the Fuse to the Positive (+) terminal of the battery.
a. DO NOT use any more than 2ft (60cm) of wire between the battery terminal and the fuse. Ensure the wire is protected and secured from being
cut into: this non-fused wire
4. Connect the BLUE wire to the factory chassis ground right next to the battery.
Low Power (Standby) Mode
If there is no function input wire activated for 1 second, the lightbar will go into a "standby" mode. The standby mode is a low power mode that is used to
extend the life of your battery. The lightbar will awaken from the standby mode if any input is activated on the breakout box. In standby mode, the standby
current is <0.01A.
IMPORTANT
WHEN PASSING CABLES THROUGH FIREWALL OR OTHER
SHEETMETAL, INSERT GROMMET TO PROTECT THE CABLE!

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 airbag deployment zone.

CLEANING & CARE OF YOUR LIGHTBAR:
Keeping the lenses clean and scratch free will optimize the performance of
the lightbar. The exterior of the lightbar including lenses should be cleaned
with mild soapy water and a soft cotton cloth to remove dirt, grime and
insects. Never use window cleaners or harsh chemicals on the lenses; this
may cause failure of the lenses or reduce clarity resulting in the reduction of
light output.
MOUNTING INTEGRITY:
A review of bolt/hardware/mounting bracket integrity should be performed
at the beginning and end of each shift.
WARNING - DRILLING ANY HOLES INTO THE LIGHTBAR IS NOT
RECOMMENDED! THE RISK OF DAMAGING INTERNAL COMPONENTS

ANY METAL SHARDS OR REMNANTS. INSTALL GROMMETS INTO
ALL WIRE PASSAGE HOLES.
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 OWNER’S MANUAL FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
ZONES.
