Before Installation or Service
Qualifications
•
To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good
understanding of automotive mechanical and electrical procedures
and systems, along with proficiency in the installation and service
of safety warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle's service
manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
Light Hazards
•
In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces
bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a
close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close
range, or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
•
Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair or
blind the driver's vision. Ensure that the light system is mounted in a
position that is outside the driver's field of vision, so the driver can
maintain safe vehicle operation.
•
Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed to work
together as a system. Combining light heads and a power supply
from different manufacturers may reduce the warning effectiveness of
the lighting system and may damage the components. Verify or test
your combination to make sure the system works together and meets
federal, state and local standards or guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
•
A light system is a high current system. For the system to function
properly, a separate negative (-) connection and positive (+) connection
must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the
negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the
positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as possible.
