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
visibility to the oncoming traffic.
CAUTION:
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that the
area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle
upholstery,etc., that could be damaged.
!
1. Using the mounting holes of the minibar, mark the loca-
tions 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 washers and nuts,
and secure the unit.

Vacuum-Magnet Mounting:
The vacuum-magnet mount feature includes two (2) suction 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 mini-
bar 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 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.
Installation & Mounting:
Carefully remove the minibar and place it on a flat surface.
Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. If
damage is found, contact the transit company or ECCO. Do
not use damaged or broken parts.

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 damage to other vehicles, and injury or death to the pas-
sengers. 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.
