Mounting the SignalMaster

LOCATING OPERATOR CONTROLS—Locate the light system controls so the vehicle

and controls can be operated safely under all driving conditions. Failure to heed this

caution could result in driver distraction or driver error while operating the vehicle.

ROOF SUPPORT STRUCTURE—There is a roof support member that spans the

distance between the driver and passenger side. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS

MEMBER! Adjust any hole locations until the holes can be drilled without going

through this member. Failure to follow this warning will weaken the roof of the

vehicle and may lead to an increased chance of bodily injury or death in a roll-over

accident.

SIGNALMASTER ORIENTATION—The SignalMaster lightbar must be oriented

correctly for proper operation. The assembly should be installed with the ROC board

on top.

IMPORTANT:Planallcableroutingbeforecompletingtheinstallation.Planthelocationofthewire-

routing hole so that the cable does not have tight bends.
