1. Remove the cover from the storage bag included in the kit.
2. Unfold the cover completely.
3. Place the unfolded cover over your motorcycle from the front and
above, then pull the cover down at all four corners. The „FRONT“ and
„BACK“ labels sewn to the inside of the cover indicate the front and rear
sides of the cover. Do NOT install the cover backwards.
SNAG HAZARDS: Avoid catching the cover on
 mirrors,muerends,shifters,brakelevers,foot
pegs and antennae. Failure to use care around
these wear points could result in a tear or
puncture of the cover.
4. The cover has elastic hems at the front and back (illustration no. 4);
pull the elastic hems over the front and rear tires of your motorcycle.
5. OPTIONAL: If you are parking in a public area, check to make sure your
license plate is visible through the license plate window (illustration no. 8).

locking mechanism (illustration no. 5). To secure your motorcycle with the cover
installed, slide your lock through one of the openings, through your motorcycle,

5. General Notes
Failure to obey the following instructions
could result in property damage to the
cover or your motorcycle:
• This cover is approved for use with two-wheeled motorcycles
only. Do not use this cover with other vehicles, equipment, or ob-
jects.
• Thiscoverisauniversalproductthatisnotspecicallydesignedfor
a particular motorcycle. It is available in sizes Medium, Large, XL and
XXL.Consultyourmotorcycleowner’smanualforspecicationsor
check the sizing chart on our website at www.velmia.com/cover, or
you can email us at [email protected]. If in doubt, consult a
specialist or a professional repair shop.
• Although the cover is equipped with heat-resistant fabric near the
exhaust area, never place the cover over a motorcycle with parts
hotter than 575 °F (300 °C). The heat-resistant areas of the cover
donothavethesoftinnereeceappliedtothem;ifanyhotparts
of your motorcycle do not line up with these areas, allow your
motorcycle to cool down completely before installing the cover.
• Avoid direct sunlight whenever possible; park your covered mo-
torcycle in the shade.
• Always park your covered motorcycle so that it is sheltered from
the wind. Do not use the cover at higher wind speeds, as this may
cause your motorcycle to tip over.
• Do not use the cover for covering your motorcycle while it is trai-
leredorinthebackofaatbed,trailer,opentruckbed,orsimilar
open carrier because this cover is not designed for it. Doing so
will void the warranty.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE [AE]
• Makesurethatthemotorcycle’sheadlightsareswitchedobefo-
re you install the cover.
• Avoid placing the cover over a dirty motorcycle. Sand and dirt
trapped between the cover and motorcycle parts can cause scrat-
ches on the motorcycle.
• Do not use the cover on freshly painted, polished, sealed or ot-
herwise chemically treated vehicle parts. Solvents can take up
to six months to evaporate after application, and when trapped
under the cover, the gases can damage the cover and the motor-
cycle. This is particularly important for new motorcycles, which
often need a curing time of several months.
• In cases of extreme heat, polycarbonate windscreens or head-
lights may be damaged due to the heat trapped under the cover.
Use care when using the cover on a motorcycle equipped with
such components.
• Intheeventofextremeoutsidetemperatureuctuations,uncover
the motorcycle at regular intervals to avoid condensation.
• Do not modify or alter this cover in any way. Any alterations to this
product will void the warranty.
• Check the cover for damage after each use and replace the co-
ver when necessary. For questions and problems, please contact
technical support by email at [email protected].

Your cover needs very little maintenance. To maximize the lifespan of
thecover,wipeonormaldirtandgrimewithasofttowel.Cleanwith
clear, lukewarm water only. Make sure that the inner surfaces of the
cover are always kept clean. Before each use, check that the surfaces
touching the motorcycle are clean.
For a light hand wash, place the cover on your vehicle and clean it
with a clean, damp cloth only. Never use detergents or other cleaning
agents. Avoid cleaning the cover with petroleum-based products, harsh
detergents, grease, or other chemicals. Do not use mineral oil for clea-
ning. Place the cover over a clothesline outdoors or in a suitable lo-
cation to air-dry; do NOT wring or twist the cover to remove excess
moisture. Do not machine-wash or machine-dry the cover.
Although the cover is protected with UV-inhibitors, the cover may fade
in direct sunlight after continuous use. This is normal wear.
7. Storing the Cover

make sure it is clean and completely dry before placing it in the storage
bag.Totyourcoverintothebag,donotsimplystuitin;carefullyfold
