Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel

of Warning Light Equipment

People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Fed-

eral Signal products. It is important to read and follow all instructions

shipped with this product. In addition, listed below are some other im-

portant safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

Before Installation or Service

Qualiﬁcations

• To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good

understanding of automotive mechanical and electrical procedures and

systems, along with prociency in the installation and service of safe-

ty warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manuals

when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.

Light Hazards

• To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light

that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range.

Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close range or per-

manent damage to your eyesight may occur.

• Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair or

blind the driver’s vision. Ensure that the light system is mounted in a

position that is outside of the driver’s eld of vision, so the driver can

safely operate the vehicle.

• Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed to work

together as a system. Combining light heads and a power supply from

different manufacturers may reduce the warning effectiveness of the

lighting system and may damage the components. You should verify or

test your combination to ensure the system works together and meets

federal, state and local standards or guidelines.

Electrical Hazards

• Strobe systems present a shock hazard because they use high voltage

to operate. Do not handle strobe cables, the power supply or bulbs or

remove the lens while the equipment is connected. Strobe systems can

also hold their charge even after they have been turned off. After dis-

connecting power to the unit, wait ve minutes before handling any

parts of the strobe system.

2Qu a d r a Fl a r e Warning Lights

• A light system is a high current system. For the system to function

properly, a separate negative (–) connection and positive (+) connec-

tion must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the

negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the

positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as possible.

Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device

and system amperage requirements.

• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the ve-

hicle 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.

• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes,

LEDs, and the outer housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to dis-

connect power to the system and allow the system to cool down before

handling any components of the system.

• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can

burst and result in ying glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection

when handling these components.

• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the light-

ing system. Placing the antenna too close to the lighting system could

cause the lighting system to malfunction or be damaged by strong radio

elds. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system may also

cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere with

the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.

• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is con-

nected to its power source.

During Installation and Service

• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the

product can cause the system to fail. If drilling must be done near the

unit, place an ESD-approved cover over the unit. Inspect the unit after

mounting to be sure there are no shavings present in or near the unit.

• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other

electrical connections are made, mounting of all components is com-

plete, and you have veried that no shorts exist. If the wiring is shorted

to the vehicle body or frame, high current conductors can cause hazard-

ous sparks resulting in electrical res or ying molten metal.

• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the

deployment path of an airbag.

Qu a d r a Fl a r e Warning Lights

• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manu-

facturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deploy-

ment.

• Before mounting any components, check the manual to be sure that

the component you are installing is suitable for use in that area of the

vehicle. Many components are not suitable for use in the engine com-

partment or other extreme environmental exposure areas.

• The service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the

glass portion is touched during installation. Use gloves when handling

these components. If the glass portion has been touched, clean the glass

carefully with isopropyl alcohol.

• Before drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the

surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs

from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all drilled

holes through which wiring passes. Also, ensure that the mounting

screws do not cause electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.

• Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper electri-

cal connections, additional precautions and information.

• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not

drive a vehicle with a magnetically mounted warning light installed.

The light could y off the vehicle causing injury or damage. Repair

of damage incurred because of ignoring this warning shall be the sole

responsibility of the user.

• To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the lightbar mounting

feet as close to outer edge of the roof as possible.

• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened.

On lightbar models other than Legend, tighten the hook adjustment

bolts 10 ft-lb to 11 ft-lb to prevent the lightbar from sliding front-to-

back when pulling on the mounting bracket. On all other models, tight-

en the hook adjustment bolts 6 ft-lb to 7 ft-lb.

• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS

can be operated safely under all driving conditions.

After Installation or Service

• After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating

properly.

• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety

functions and vehicle light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure

4Qu a d r a Fl a r e Warning Lights

that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed

any vehicle safety function or circuit.

• Scratched or dull reectors, mirrors or lenses will reduce the effective-

ness of the lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or

petroleum based products when cleaning the lighting system. Replace

any optical components that may have been scratched or crazed during

system installation.

• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system controls while

driving in a hazardous situation.

• You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is oper-

ating properly and that it is securely attached to the vehicle.

• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these in-

structions to instructional staff and all operating personnel.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintain-

ing and/or re-installing the product.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in

property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others.

some important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while

driving in a hazardous situation.

• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be

completely effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal.

You must recognize this fact and continue driving cautiously.

• Also, situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when

natural and man-made objects are between your vehicle and others, such

as raising your hood or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially

careful.

• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds which may cause,

in certain situations permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers

should consider taking appropriate safety precautions such as wearing

hearing protection.

Qu a d r a Fl a r e Warning Lights

• To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light

that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range.

Cleaning the Plastic Lenses

CRAZING/CHEMICALS

Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause reduced effectiveness of the light.

Do not use cleaning agents (which will cause crazing) such as strong de-

tergents, solvents, or petroleum products. If crazing of lenses does occur,

the reliability of light for emergency signaling purposes may be reduced

until lenses are replaced.

Failure to follow this warning can damage the domes and reﬂectors and

may result in bodily injury or death to you or others.

Clean the plastic lenses with a solution of water and mild soap and a soft rag.

To remove ne scratches and haze, use a specialty plastic cleaner/polish such

as Plexus® and a soft cloth. You can also use a high quality automotive paste

cleaner/wax that is non-abrasive.

NOTE: The most effective product you can use for cleaning, protecting, and

polishing clear and colored plastics is Plexus. Plexus is available in cases of

12 aerosol cans from Federal Signal Corporation, Emergency Products, in

either 7-ounce cans (PX7) or 13-ounce cans (PX13). Over time, exposure to

heat, sunlight, and smog causes plastic to fade, discolor, scratch, or become

brittle. Plexus seals the pores of the plastic, making the domes easier to clean,

improving scratch resistance, and increasing product longevity.
