Vacuum-Magnet Mount:
The Vacuum-Magnet Mount feature includes suction cups on the
bottom of the minibar, with a magnet inside of the suction cup,
for a secure, temporary mount. The minibar should be placed in
the center of the roof where the least amount of curvature occurs.
Before installing, make sure the mounting surface is clean and
there is no debris on the bottom of the minibar or on the roof of the
vehicle, which could reduce the holding power of the suction cup
and magnet. Place and remove the minibar without sliding to avoid
scratching the paint on the vehicle. After placement, the minibar
should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or moves easily,
a proper installation has not been obtained. To release the vacuum,
lift the tab to release the airlock (see Figure 4). To protect the
Vacuum-Magnet Mount assembly, return minibar to the box when not
in use. Do not attempt to attach the minibar to an ice-covered
surface.

WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe operation
using the Vacuum Mount model is 65 mph (104 km/h), when
fitted to the center of a vehicle roof of steel construction.
Higher speeds could cause the mount to fail, resulting in the
minibar flying off of the vehicle, which could cause dam-
age to other vehicles, and injury or death to the passengers.
The vacuum-magnet mount is not intended as a permanent
mounting for the minibar. The vacuum-magnet mount unit
must be mounted on a flat smooth magnetic surface (i.e. no
fiberglass, ribbed style roofs, etc.). Ensure that the magnet is
kept clean.
