Always use the seat straps.The Expedition Dry Saddle Bags and racks are designed for these, as the seat
straps distribute the weight of the bag. Failure to use the seat straps can result in damage to the bags,
motorcycle and bodily harm. This will also void any and all warranties.
Loading the bags. You can load the bags either on or off the bike.
12- Loading and unloading the bags while on the racks: You will have to unclip the 1”center buckles on the
upper and lower side mounting straps to release the compression of the bag, doing this will make the contents
slip in and out much easier.
13- When closing the Expedition Dry Saddle Bags make sure you roll the bags down to “burp” and let as much
air escape as possible. Re-roll the main bag with a minimum of 3 rolls to create a tight seal. Fasten the side
straps. Pass the top compression strap through the upper D-ring above the top 1” center buckle and fasten to the
top clip securely. This strap keeps the Expedition Dry Saddle Bags tight to the side racks and prevents the bag
from sagging. FIG14

14- For maximum safety make sure ALL straps are snug and secure. Make adjustments
as necessary.
To remove the bags:
15- Loosen the two 1” center buckles on the upper and lower side mounting straps, this will release the tension
on the Universal Saddle Bag Strap secured to the rack. Reverse steps 3 through 8. Do the lower Straps first
then the upper straps.
On the exhaust side, be careful not to touch the exhaust as you can be burned!
16- Use the top straps as handles and remove the bags away from the side racks.FIG15
Note: All of the mounting straps on the Wolfman Expedition Dry Saddle Bags are removable and replaceable.
