SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS AND USERS

People’s lives depend on your safe installation of

our products. It is important to read, understand 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.

• O NOT install equipment or route wiring

in the deployment path of an air bag.

• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be

sure that both sides of the surface are clear

of anything that could be damaged.

• In order 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 light control so the VEHICLE and

CONTROL can be operated safely under all

driving conditions.

• o not attempt to activate or deactivate

light control while driving in a hazardous

situation.

• 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 to you or others.

A. GENERAL.

The Model GH1 is an economical, low wattage,

halogen light designed to be used in a flashing mode.

It is designed for use on a vehicle’s exterior. The

supplied universal mounting hardware and installed

4-foot cable provides easy and fast installation.

The Model GS1 is a high intensity, strobe light

head intended for use on a vehicle’s exterior. It is

designed for use with Federal’s Model SPS2 (two

head power supply) or Model SPS4 (four head power

supply). These power supplies will provide 75 double

strobe flashes with flash energy of 10 joules per

double flash. The supplied universal mounting

hardware and installed 4-foot cable provides easy

and fast installation.

B. INSTALLATION.

WARNING

This product is intended for supplemental

warning and for use in conjunction with an

approved primary warning light system. This

strobe head can be powered by several types of

strobe power supplies. Consult local codes and

regulations to determine if the power supply/

strobe head combination complies.

NOTE

For maximum coverage and effectiveness, the

light assembly should be mounted in a horizon-

tal orientation.

To install the unit using the supplied bracket and

screws, proceed as follows:

1. etermine the desired mounting location.

Scribe drill position marks on the mounting surface

for the 8mm mounting bolt and for a cable routing

hole (if desired).

2. Assemble the mounting bracket to the light

assembly using the bolt, lockwasher, and nut as

shown in figure 1.

CAUTION

Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle,

be sure that both sides of the mounting surface

are clear of parts that could be damaged; such

as brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wiring or

other vital parts.

Figure 1.

D. MAINTENANCE.

1. General.

WARNING

Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause reduced

effectiveness of the light. o not use cleaning

agents (which will cause crazing) such as

strong detergents, solvents, or petroleum prod-

ucts. If crazing of lenses does occur, reliability

of light for emergency signalling purposes may

be reduced until lenses are replaced.

Ordinary cleaning of the plastic lenses can be

accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag.

Should fine scratches or a haze appear on a lens, they

can ordinarily be removed with a non-abrasive, high

quality, one-step, automotive paste cleaner/wax and

a soft cloth.

2. Model GH1 Lamp Replacement.

age to the colored lenses.

a. See figure 5. Remove and retain the four

screws which secure the lens. Carefully pull the lens

straight away from the grille light assembly.

WARNING

A serious injury may result if lamp is touched

when hot. Always allow lamp to cool before

removing. Halogen lamps are pressurized and

if broken can result in flying glass. Always

wear gloves and eye protection when handling

the lamps.

CAUTION

touched. If glass has been handled, clean with

a grease solvent.

b. Remove the defective lamp by carefully

pulling it out of the socket. Install a new lamp by

aligning the pins on the lamp base with the holes in

the socket, and carefully pushing the lamp into the

screws which secure the lens. Carefully pull the lens

straight away from the grille light assembly.

c. Turn the strobe tube assembly counter-

clockwise to unlock it from the finished reflector.

d. isconnect the strobe tube assembly’s

SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS

Peoples’ lives depend on your safe use of our

products.

Listed below are some important safety instruc-

tions and precautions you should follow:

• Although your warning system is operating

properly, it may not be completely effective.

• Also, situations may occur which obstruct

your warning signal when natural or man-

made objects are between your vehicle and

others, such as: raising your hood or trunk

lid. If these situations occur, be especially

careful.

• At the start of your shift, you should ensure

that the light is securely attached and oper-

ating properly.

Failure to follow these safety precautions may

result in property damage, serious injury, or death to

you, to passengers, or to others.
