Safety Message to Installers of Federal Signal Warning Light Systems
People's lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is important
to read and follow all instructions shipped with this product and the original product. Listed below are
some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow.
• 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.
• Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this
warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury.
• 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 devices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO NOT stare
into the light beam at close range.
• Always refer to the vehicle service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the vehicle wiring without reviewing
a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that your installation will not
affect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper
operation after installation.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that
could be damaged.
• A light system is a high current device. In order for it 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 system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all driving
conditions.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light control while driving in a hazardous situation.
• For additional precautions and information, refer to the instructions packed with related products.
• Frequently inspect the light system 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 or reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death.
