SECURING PACK TO PACK-RACK
To secure the pack use the straps with the quick release clips and
attach around the horizontal rung on the Pack-Rack carrier. On
some models the quick release system is not available. In this
situation loop the shoulder straps around the rung and fasten to the
buckle. If the securing straps hang down below the rack, loop the
excess up behind the quick release clips.

Always place heavy items at the bottom of the pack and load evenly.
Do not position sharp objects against the fabric of the pack.

Unless specified to the contrary in the fitting instructions or the
motorcycle manufacturers recommendations/specifications the
recommended maximum load capacity of this system is 9kg (20lbs).
It is important that the pack is always securely fastened to the Pack-

130 kph (80mph) or the legal speed limit, whichever is the lower.
This limit may be reduced by other accessories, worn tyres,
improper handling, overall motorcycle condition or weather
conditions.

Exceeding the weight capacity or the recommended maximum
speed may drastically affect the motorcycles handling, stability and
performance.
