5.2 Installing in a vehicle
5.2.1 Permanent mounting
Your ARB Fridge Freezer has four threaded inserts in its base that can be used to
permanently mount the cabinet to a solid base or fridge slide. One threaded insert is
located in the centre of each of the rubber feet. ARB recommends this method of
mounting if the fridge freezer is to be permanently mounted. If your fridge freezer will
be removed on a regular basis, please refer to section 5.2.2 (temporary mounting).
To permanently mount the fridge freezer:
Position the fridge freezer on the mounting surface at the desired location and
mark the outline of the cabinet.
Remove the fridge freezer and mark the centre of the cabinet. The centre is
shown as point C in Figure 5a.
Mark and drill four 6.5 mm holes in the mounting surface using the diagram in
Figure 5a as a guide.
To make use of the drain plug, mark and drill one 13 mm hole in the mounting
surface at point C as shown in Figure 5a.
Remove the M6 bolt from the centre of each of the four rubber feet using a hex
key as shown in Figure 5b. Ensure that the rubber feet remain in the base of the
cabinet.
Position the fridge freezer on the mounting surface so that the drilled holes line
up with the threaded inserts in the cabinet.
Attach the cabinet to the mounting surface using M6 bolts as shown in figure 5c.
Do not exceed the fastener assembly torque of 3.5 Nm (2.5 lbft) when tightening
the M6 bolts. ARB recommend apply no permanent thread sealant to the bolts.
NOTE - The rubber feet must be fitted between the base of the cabinet and
the mounting surface.

NOTE - I longer bolts are required M6 x 1.0 high tens le socket head cap
screws with a minimum grade o 8.8 must be used. To avoid damaging
e ectrical components within the fridge, the bolt length must only be
increased by the thickness of the mounting surface (dimension ‘A’ in F gure
5a) plus 8 mm to allow for the recess in the rubber feet.
NOTE - When removing the M6 bolts avoid turning the fridge freezer on its
side.
5.2.2 Temporary mounting
The steel handle at each end of your ARB Fridge Freezer has been engineered to be
used as a tiedown point. ARB recommends that the ARB tie down system be used to
securely mount the fridge freezer to solid anchorage points.
