Federal Signal Corporation SignalMaster SMLED-PLS-6 Instruction Sheet

SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND OPERATORS
People's lives depend on your safe installation
of our products. It is important to read, under-
stand and follow all instructions shipped with the
products. In addition, listed below are some other
important safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
• To properly install this light, you must have
a good understanding of automotive electrical
procedures and systems, along with proficiency
in the installation and use of safety warning
equipment.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure
that both sides of the surface are clear of any-
thing that could be damaged.
• For the light to function properly, a separate
ground connection must be made. If practical,
it should be connected to the negative battery
terminal. At a minimum, it may be attached
to a solid metal body or chassis part that will
provide an effective ground path as long as the
light system is to be used.
• Locate the light control so the VEHICLE and
CONTROL can be operated safely under all
driving conditions.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate light
control while driving in a hazardous situation.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify
with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat
needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag
deployment.
• This product contains high intensity LED de-
vices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO
NOT stare into the light beam at close range.
• You should frequently inspect the light to
ensure that it is operating properly and that it
is securely attached to the vehicle.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer
to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling
the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions
may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

tering on the warning label and nameplate legible.
