4.5” diameter, 2" high. M6 female threads.

Holding Force: 65 lbs each

NOTE: If you have a curved roof, the mount itself has slight flex but you may need to use our swivel leg adapters for maximum surface area contact when using rubber coated magnets, VHB landing pads, or suction cups. Please add to your order if required.

See installation instructions below.

Installation

Suction Cup Mount:

1. Feed bolts through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount

2. Thread the screws into the landing pads and tighten using the allen key supplied.

3. PLEASE NOTE: The mounting substrate that your suction cups will be stuck to should be non-porous, clean, and smooth. Inspect the suction cups to ensure they too are free of dirt and debris.

4. Place the TRIO flatmount with suction cups onto the freshly cleaned surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT ETC.

5. To attach, apply gentle downward pressure on the suction cups to ensure that the entire edge of the cup is touching the surface. Then, simply press the pump repeatedly until the colored indicator band completely disappears.

6. Click the Starlink into the TRIO Flatmount and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!

** To remove the cups, lift the edge of the vacuum pad away from the surface by pulling either of the tabs on the top of the vacuum pad up and towards the center of the vacuum mount. You’re really just trying to lift the edge of the vacuum pad up off the mounting surface, which breaks the seal and lets you remove your mount.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many factors beyond TRIO Flatmount’s control and uniquely within user’s knowledge and control can affect the use and performance of a mounting product in a particular application. Given the variety of factors that can affect the use and performance of a TRIO Flatmount product, user is solely responsible for evaluating the product and determining whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application. Please note that suction cups should be checked for suction every 24-48 hours.
