antennas!
Permanent Mounting:
1. Locate the mounting foot and mounting plate included with your lightbar. If not
already present, install the plate onto the mounting foot. When properly positioned,
this plate is centered from side to side on the mounting foot.
2. Flip the lightbar upside-down to expose the bottom of the extrusion and place the
mounting foot onto the extrusion.
3. Rotate the mounting foot 90° counter-clockwise. Make sure that the edges of the
mounting foot swing into position under the extrusion mounting lip.
4. Repeat this procedure for the remaining mounting foot and return the lightbar to its
right side-up position.
5. Position the lightbar onto the vehicle roof in the desired mounting location. One
often selected location is directly above the B-pillars. This area is the strongest part
of the roof. Refer to your lightbar manual for your lightbars cable exit location, to be
sure that the lightbar is facing the proper direction.
6. Adjust the two mounting feet outwards so that they are as close to the edge of the
roof as possible. Make sure that both mounting feet are in full contact with the roof.
Be sure that there is no less than 1/2” clearance between the roof and the lightbar
at their closest point. When the mounting feet are in their proper position, lightly
tighten the mounting foot allen head set screws.
7. Turn the lightbar upside down and firmly tighten all of the set screws from step 6 (2 or 4 per
side).
8. On the mounting foot, remove either the two outer or inner rubber mounting pads. Carefully
remove the mounting pad’s guide dart so the hole through the center of the pad is exposed then
replace the pad (Standard foot only). On the adjustable foot, use the hole in the pad as a guide to drill the
two holes into the mounting foot.
9. Place the
lightbar in its final
mounting position on
the vehicle, mark the mounting hole
locations off onto the mounting
surface, remove the lightbar and
drill the mounting holes.
10. Place the lightbar back onto the vehicle lined up with the
mounting holes and secure the mounting feet to the
vehicle using the supplied hardware.
Slide Bolt Mounting (Permanent):
This lightbar mounts with 4 bolts affixed to mounting plates that slide into the track on the bot-
tom of the lighbar base. The illustration below shows how the slide bolt assembly slides into
your lightbars base and mounts onto the vehicle. Use an appropriately sized drill bit sized for
a 1/2 - #13 X 2” bolt, to drill the mounting holes.
NOTE: Model MKAJ is an adjustable mounting foot.
On this model you may loosen the screws on the rear
of the foot and adjust the angle of the lightbar. This
feature can be used if the angle of the roof is not level
with the road.
IMPORTANT: To tighten the leveling screws you must
use a torque wrench set at 35 to 40 ft. lbs.
Temporary Mount (Magnetic, Suction Cup):
WARNING: The use of any magnetically mounted warning device on the outside of a vehicle in motion is not recommended and is at the sole
risk and responsibility of the user.
Magnetic/suction: Thoroughly clean the proposed mounting surface prior to mounting. For suction cup mounting, wipe the suction cup clean, place the
beacon onto its mounting surface and apply gentle pressure to ensure a good seal has been achieved. The Magnetic/Suction Cups mount the same way
as standard suction cups but are best suited to a flat, steel surface. Magnetic: Place the lightbar onto the mounting surface and plug it into the vehicle
cigar lighter.
