Unpacking:
Carefully remove the minibar and place it on a flat surface.
Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc.
Installation & Mounting:
Permanent Mounting:
Select the mounting location for the minibar on a flat, smooth
surface. If the minibar is to be mounted on a curved surface,
such as on the roof of the vehicle, choose a placement with
the least amount of curvature. The mounting location for the
minibar should be chosen such that there is maximum visibil-
ity to the oncoming traffic.
Caution:
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure
the area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle
upholstery, etc. that could be damaged
Use the following instructions for mounting.
1.
Using the holes in the base, mark the locations for the
mounting holes. Drill the mounting holes using a 7/32"
drill.
2.
Drill a 3/8" hole for the minibar's power supply wire. The
hole should be underneath where the minibar will be
mounted. Place the supplied grommet in the hole, to
protect the wires from the sharp edges of the hole.
3.
Place the four (4) mounting bolts in the bottom of the
base as shown in Figure 1. The base has a mechanism
to hold the bolts in place for installation.
4.
Mount the minibar, with the bolts going through the
holes drilled in step 1, routing the wire through the
grommet installed in step 2. See the Wiring section of
this manual for further wiring instructions. Install wash-
ers and nuts, and secure the unit.

Vacuum-Magnet Mounting:
The vacuum-magnet mount feature includes two (2) suc-
tion cups on the bottom of the minibar, with a magnet inside
each of the suction cups, for a secure, temporary mount. The
minibar should be placed in the center or the roof where the
least amount of curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure
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 cups and magnets. 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 remove unit from vehicle, lift each
tab to release the airlock (See Figure 2). To protect the rubber
cushion/magnet assembly, return minibar to the box when not
in use. Do not attempt to attach to ice covered surface.
WARNING!
Maximum recommended vehicle speed for safe opera-
tion 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 damage to other vehicles,
and injury or death to the passengers. The vacuum-
magnet mount is not intended as a permanent mount-
ing 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.
