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 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.
