Setup and Installation

1. Prepare Components: Unpack all components and verify that all parts listed in the "What's in the Box" section are present.
2. Select Grilles: Choose your preferred mesh grille design (plain, Axial, or PIAA) for each of the five light buckets.
3. Install Lenses and Grilles: Carefully place the clear plastic lenses into the light buckets. Then, snap or secure the chosen mesh grilles over the lenses.
4. Install LEDs (Optional): If you are adding LED lights (sold separately), insert them into the back of the light buckets before assembling the light bar. Ensure proper polarity if applicable.
5. Assemble Light Bar: Attach the individual light buckets to the main light bar frame using the provided small screws. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not overtighten.

Use the included mounting screws and nuts to securely attach the assembled light bar. The universal mounting system allows for various attachment points.
7. Wire LEDs (If Applicable): If LEDs were installed, route the wiring neatly and connect them to your vehicle's power source or a dedicated LED controller (not included) according to the LED manufacturer's instructions.

For best results, refer to your vehicle's specific manual for optimal mounting locations and wiring considerations.

Operating the Light Bar

The Axial AX30709 Universal 5 Bucket Light Bar Set is a static accessory. Its operation depends entirely on the LED lights you choose to install (sold separately) and how they are wired to your RC vehicle's power system.

• Once LEDs are installed and wired, they will illuminate when power is supplied to them, typically through your vehicle's receiver or a dedicated lighting circuit.
• Ensure that the power source matches the voltage requirements of your chosen LEDs to prevent damage.
• If using a remote-controlled switch for the lights, operate them according to the instructions provided with your switch.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your light bar set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the light bar and lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and mounting points to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• LEDs (if installed): If any installed LEDs stop working, check their wiring connections and replace faulty LEDs as needed.
• Storage: When not in use, store your RC vehicle and accessories in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
