To install the Front Roof Lightbar Mounting Kit on your Polaris XPEDITION, follow these steps.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, ensure it is in PARK and remove the key.

2. Disconnect the battery with a T40 TORX® socket by removing and keeping the two screws from the front of the driver’s seat base. 

3. Lift the front of the seat and pull forward to remove.

4. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the screw to open the battery cover. Lift and slide it forward to remove. 

5. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery with a 13mm wrench.

6. To remove the grill, turn each stud one-quarter turn to release. 

7. Pull the top of the grill forward and lift up. 

8. Pull the rubber straps off the hooks to release the hood. Lift up to remove.

9. For vehicles equipped with a tip-out windshield, open the windshield and support the weight of the windshield while using the appropriate tool to release the clip at the lower end of the gas spring. Note: Use care when releasing the clip. The clip may spring away from the fitting and may strike objects or become lost. 

10. Disconnect the bottom of the gas spring(s) by removing the two screws and ball stud from the lower A-pillar trim panel. Use a flathead screwdriver, T30 TORX® and 11mm wrench.

11. Pull the A-pillar trim piece away from the vehicle and set it aside. Repeat on the other side.

12. Remove the three screws and washers from the windshield base with a T30 TORX®, and set them aside. 

13. To remove the panel, start by removing and keeping the two push-pin rivets from the center dash panel with multi-function pliers.

14. Remove and keep the panel by lifting the front edge and moving backward. 

15. To remove the head unit, start by removing and keeping the two push-rivets from the top of the head unit.

19. Remove one screw at each side of the dash cover with a T40 TORX®. Tip: The door will need to be fully open to access and remove these screws. Removal of these screws allows the cover to be pulled open in the next step to remove the push-pin rivet.

20. Remove the A-pillar outer cover to gain better access to the dash push-pin rivet. Repeat on the other side.

21. Carefully pull the plastic cover away from the lower A-pillar area, and remove one push-pin rivet from the side of the dash cover.

36. Remove and keep the three weld nuts from each side of the roof underside. 

37. Use an object to prop up the corner of the roof.

38. To install the harness, start by routing the harness through the upper grommet. Feed it through the dash and bring it across towards the opening in the lower ROPS on the driver’s side. 

39. Attach a wire to the harness and feed into the ROPS, pulling gently towards the opening at the top of the ROPS. Tip: Use caution to avoid damaging the harness connector.

40. Pull the harness through the A-pillar until connectors at the dashboard end of the harness line up. Secure the harness to the frame with push-dart clips. Note: Reference the written instructions for the exact locations.

46. To prepare the roof for the lightbar mounting, start by locating the two dimples on the two eyebrow features on the roof. Drill a hole at each dimple with an 11/16-inch (17mm) drill bit. Note: Be careful to control the drill depth to avoid damage to the vehicle.

47. Locate the drill point for the grommet behind the driver’s side eyebrow feature and drill a pilot hole at this location with an 11/16-inch (17mm) drill bit.

48. The lightbar kit will contain a grommet. Measure the grommet to determine the needed hole size. Tip: Grommet may already be installed on the lightbar wiring harness.

49. Be sure to use the appropriately sized drill or hole saw to expand the grommet pilot hole to the correct size for the grommet. 

50. Before assembling brackets, refer to your light bar kit instructions for proper mounting procedures.

51. To assemble the brackets for the 32-inch lightbar, start by assembling the hardware. This includes a bolt, rubber washer and nut for each side of the lightbar.

52. Assemble the bracket with the tubular spacer, washer plate, 3mm spacer and washer. Use an 11mm socket to torque to 18 ft-lbs (24.4 Nm).

53. For vehicles with a tip-out glass windshield, you will have hinges at the upper mounting holes. Lightbar mounts will share the upper mounting holes with the windshield hinges. Note: Reference the written instructions for your specific windshield application.

54. Close the tip-out glass windshield and remove one nut and one screw from the upper hinge mounting with a 13mm socket.

55. Install a carriage screw, tubular spacer, washer plate, 3mm spacer and the bracket. Note: Rotate the washer plate so that the other screw can be removed later. The tubular spacer will pass through the hole drilled in the roof.

58. Line up the washer plate with the remaining hole and install a carriage screw, tubular spacer and a 3mm spacer. 

59. Install a nut, and torque to 18 ft-lbs (24.4 Nm). Repeat steps for the other side.

60. Push the lightbar wiring harness through the hole, place the grommet around the lightbar harness and install the grommet into the hole. Tip: It may be necessary to slit the grommet to enable the harness connector to fit through the grommet. 

61. Zip tie an edge clip to the harness, and attach the harness to the roof. 

62. To reinstall the roof, remove any object(s) that were used to prop up the roof. Make sure the roof lays flat on the vehicle. 

63. Install three weld nuts on each side of the roof underside. Tip: On 2-passenger vehicles the rear nut on each side will need to be held in place while starting screws in the nut. All other nuts will be held in place by brackets on the ROPS.

64. Install three washers, spacers and screws on each side of the roof. Torque screws to 18 ft-lbs (25 Nm).
