EZ6015 Mounting:
1. Before proceeding with installation, plan all wiring and cable routing. Select the mounting location for the lightbar on a flat, smooth surface
and center the unit across the width of the vehicle. The mounting location for the mount should be chosen such that the lightbar is level,
there is no less than 1/4" clearance between the roof and lightbar at any point, and visibility to approaching traffic is optimized.
2. Attach the mount to the lightbar using the hardware supplied with the lightbar, ensure the bolts used do not extend more than 3/4". Do
not tighten the hardware - allow the mount to slide along the channels of the lightbar extrusion. Place the entire assembly on the roof of the
vehicle and determine the optimal placement (see Step 1). Tighten the hardware that attaches the mount to the lightbar. See Figure 1.
3. Loosen the four 1/4"-20 button head screws that attach the feet to the mounting brackets so that the feet can pivot freely. (Do not
completely remove the screws.) Prepare the roof of the vehicle by cleaning roof with detergent and water. Prepare the surface by wiping
with isopropyl alcohol pads. Coat the area with the tape primer and allow the primer to dry thoroughly. The surface temperature should be at
least 50°F(10°C) but 70°F(21°C) is preferred. Remove the backing on the VHB tape on one side of the mount sub-assembly and place it on
the roof of the vehicle. Make sure that enough pressure is applied so that the mount will stay temporarily in place. Repeat for the other side
of the assembly.
4. Remove the four 1/4"-20 button head screws and star washers from the mounting bracket and set aside. Remove the lightbar (with the
brackets still attached) from the vehicle roof and set aside. See Figure 2.
5. Press on each of the 4 feet evenly with at least 30 pounds of force for at least 5 seconds. Return the lightbar and mounting bracket
assembly to the roof of the vehicle, and line up the holes of the four feet with the mounting brackets. Replace the four 1/4"-20 screws and
star washers. (Do not fully tighten until all four screws are in place.) Once all screws are in place and the assembly is suitably located,
tighten all screws to 4.5 ft-lbs.
** Time for bond strength is greatly affected by time. At room temp 70F (21C) bond strength will be at 50% in 20 minutes and 90% after 24 hours. Temperature as low as 50F(10C)
can take more than 72 hours to reach 90%. Elevated temperatures (e.g. 150F [66C]) can speed up bond time, acheiving 80% in 20 minutes and 99% in one hour.
Cleanliness and application temperature has a significant affect on product performance.
