Keep navigational aids / GPS antennas out of the beam path of the light. Be sure the 4 nylon shoulder washers, supplied with the searchlight, have been inserted in the searchlight base mounting holes to prevent a galvanic reaction between the mounting hardware and the base of the searchlight, and also that the mounting base gasket is securely in place before bolting down. Silicone grease should be applied to the bottom of the gasket to help in waterproofing the unit. When mounting, be sure that the unit is able to rotate 360° without hitting any obstructions. (See instructions on controls) CAUTION: The searchlight is not designed for inverted mounting. [. . . ] Remove four screws holding front flange and glass with provided 6mm hex wrench.
