Before installation of the light bar is attempted, it is important to read these instructions completely. The lives of
people are dependent on a proper installation of the light bar to the vehicle. The person installing this light bar
must have advanced knowledge of the proper method for mounting and securing the light bar to a vehicle's roof
or exterior, as well as knowledge of the vehicle's electrical system. Again, read this manual completely and note
any messages marked "IMPORTANT" or "WARNING''. A safe installation will prevent serious injury or damage
to the vehicle.
WATCHMAN comes completely wired and does not require any internal wiring by the installer. The power
cable has all the required wires with factory installed terminals and connectors for a successful installation.
Installation of the WATCHMAN Light Bar requires drilling into the vehicle. The installer must carefully inspect
both sides of the selected locations to ensure that there are no components, wires and/or any other vehicle part
that could be damaged by drilling. IMPORTANT: Always de-burr any drilled holes, ensuring that there are no
sharp edges. Install a rubber grommet into all metal holes that the wires are being routed through.
Always refer to the vehicle's shop manual for deployment location of air bags. Never install the light bar's switch
control panel, wires and or components in the deployment area of any air bag. Improper installation could reduce
the effectiveness of the vehicle's air bag system and or project an object that could cause serious personal injury
or death to driver and passenger. The user/installer assumes all responsibility to properly access a safe mounting
location of the light bar's control panel, to provide ultimate safety to the driver and passengers inside the vehicle.
The vehicle operator and or maintenance department should inspect the light bar frequently to ensure all
brackets are securely attached to the vehicle and that all mounting hardware is free of corrosion.
The light bar's control panel should be mounted in a location where the switches can be easily reached. Never
attempt to turn light bar on/off when driving under hazardous conditions.
These installation instructions should always be kept and stored in a safe location so that they can be referred
to when information, maintenance or reinstallation is required.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and installation procedures outlined in these instructions could result in
property damage to the vehicle, serious injury or death to you or others.
