1. Attach the supplied screws to the mounting foot to
secure the rubber pad as shown in Figure 3.

hook brackets.
3. Keeping the lightbar level to the road, attach mounting
feet to the roof of the vehicle using the 4 supplied
T-Slot bolts.
4. Place lightbar centered on the roof, and hold brackets
up to the lightbar. A 1/4" to 1/2" gap should be
between the hook bracket and front wall of the
mounting foot prior to putting any tension on the hook
bracket bolt (See Figure 2). Adjust the mounting foot
position to accommodate for this gap.

with max torque between 40-60 in/lbs. DO NOT OVER

7. Tighten the hook bracket bolts, torque details below:
Due to different vehicle construction and mounting
locations, the torque levels for connecting hooks to the
lightbar foot may be different based on the vehicle.
A. Minimum requirement for torque should
be 10 IN/LB, with a maximum level of 45
IN/LB.*
B. When installing the bolts connecting the
hook to the lightbar foot, monitor both the
lightbar and roof of the vehicle.
C. Tighten to ensure there is no movement of
the lightbar or foot by ensuring there is no
movement either side to side, or front to rear
after the torque has been done.
The lightbar must be securely mounted to the vehicle for
safe operation.
*Deflection of the lightbar and/or the roof of the vehicle
may occur when torquing the bolts connecting the hook
to the lightbar foot. Any deflection should be kept at a
minimum to avoid damage to the lightbar or vehicle.
NOTE: As always, it is recommended to check the
integrity of mounted lightbars on a daily basis
to ensure secure attachment to the vehicle for
continued safe operation.
8. Insert the retainer plates over the 2 bolts on each of
the hook kit brackets. Screw in the retainer plate to the
hook kit bracket using the 8-32 bolts.
9. Install the cover door over the hook bracket bolt to
finish the assembly. Place tab of one side into place
and then push the second tab into place with a flathead
screw driver.
