Remove the two Torx head screws that secure the end cap to the base. (Fig. 1) 2. Slide the lens sections off the end of the base and remove the dividers to gain access to the lightbar base (Fig. 2). Be sure to note the order the lenses were installed on the lightbar. IMPORTANT: The lenses are seated very tightly into the lens divider gaskets to prevent leaks. You will need to insert a screwdriver at each corner (between the black endcap and aluminum base) and gently pry the lens out to break it free from the dividers. Pry each side out a little at a time, alternating from one side to the other until the lens slides out easily. Before reassembling, apply a small amount of liquid dish detergent to the sides of the rubber gaskets to help them slide in easier and obtain a better seal. NOTE: If this is a replacement for an existing old style rotator, remove any remaining VHB adhesive tape (if present) from the base of the lightbar before proceeding (see page 3). 3. Measure the base to locate the center point of the lightbar. Using this center mark, place the rotator assembly on the base with the motor cradle oriented toward the front of the lightbar. Secure the rotator assembly to the appropriate channel in the base using the two flat washers and 3/8" hex head screws provided (Pg. 3). 4. Mount the 2 mirrors supplied as shown in the illustration. Note the mirror orientation as well as the location and clearance dimensions. Secure the mirrors using the 114" hex head screws provided. Wiring: 1. Secure the ground lug for the rotator assembly to the channel in the base using the internal tooth lock washer and 1/4" hex head screw provided. 2. Connect the ORANGE extension wire to the faston connector coming from the rotator assembly. Run the input wire along the base as illustrated and connect to the ORANGE wire (or any unused wire) in the lightbar wiring harness. 3. Neatly dress and place any loose wires under the cable clamps in order to avoid interference with any moving parts. 4. Replace and secure all domes. Mounting hardware threads into the grooves in the light bar base. Page 2 EFTA_R1_00168396 EFTA01809694 -U CO 0 L6ES9L00- 1.21- V.LAB CITY. 01lf. OTT.
