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.
•
Frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is securely attached
to the vehicle.
•
Always refer to the vehicle service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that
could be damaged.

If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

Introduction
This publication provides instructions for installing the Vision™ SLR lightbar to a vehicle with the Hook-On
Mounting Kit. To complete the installation, it is necessary to purchase a vehicle-specific mounting hook kit.
Unpacking the Kit
After unpacking the kit, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If it has been damaged, file
a claim immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping
labels, and tags before removing or destroying them. Ensure that the parts shown in Table 1 on page 2 are
contained in the packing carton. If you are missing any parts, contact Customer Support at 1-800-264-3578,

- Page 2 RH mounting foot is for the right side. Failure to follow this precaution may damage the lightbar. The Service Kit requires that you assemble the mounting feet on the lightbar. If you are installing a new lightbar, which is shipped with the mounting feet already attached, see “Installing the Adjustable Foot Brackets” on page 4. New lightbars may require that you loosen the 3/8"-16 nuts to adjust the positions of the mounting feet on the vehicle roof. To install the Service Kit mounting feet: 1. To avoid marring the plastic domes, invert the lightbar on soft rags or cardboard. 2. Use the four 3/8"-16 nuts and lockwashers to install a mounting foot assembly and a hook-attach bracket on the lightbar (Figure 1 on page 3). Tighten the nuts only enough to hold the mounting foot assembly in place. Vision SLR Lightbar...

To avoid marring the plastic domes, invert the lightbar on soft rags or cardboard. 2. See Figure 3. Use the 5/16"-18 pan Torx screws, 5/16" flat washers, and 5/16" lockwashers to install the adjustable foot brackets on the mounting feet.

Ensure that the gutter hooks, when installed, do not interfere with the door or door glass. Improper clamping on the vehicle roof may result if the gutter hooks contact the mounting feet. Adjust the mounting feet, if required, before tightening the 3/8"-16 hex nuts. 4. Remove the lightbar assembly from the vehicle roof and place it on soft rags or cardboard to avoid marring the plastic domes. 5. Turn the lightbar assembly over so that the bottom faces up. Tighten the eight 3/8"-16 nuts (four on each mounting foot) installed in “Installing the Service Kit Mounting Feet” on page 2. Hook-Mounting the Vision SLR on the Vehicle To mount the lightbar on the vehicle: 1. Place the lightbar assembly back into its original position on the vehicle roof. 2. To maximize aerodynamic efficiency, it is recommended that the lighting system be mounted as high as possible. Adjust the adjustable foot brackets on the mounting feet as required (Figure 4 on page 6). 3. Check to ensure that the lightbar assembly is level. If it is not level, adjust it by rotating it in the mounting foot slots. 4. See Figure 4 on page 6. Using the holes that are most closely aligned between the 5/16" Torx pan screws, install a #10 Type B pan Torx screw to lock in the adjustment. Minor adjustment may be necessary. Repeat this step for all four adjustable foot brackets.

Cut the cable tie securing the connector to the underside of the foot and unplug the connector. 2. Remove the two 10-32 pan Torx screws and the takedown light. Install the split grommet over the cable, and feed the cable through the foot from the top. Install the grommet securely in the hole (Figure 6 on page 7). 4. Aim the LED takedown and install the 10-32 pan Torx screws from the bottom of the foot. 5. Reconnect the connector and secure it to the foot with the cable tie. 6. Test the light to verify that it operates properly. Vision SLR Lightbar...
