Side rack plate - Installation Instructions

A. INSTALLATION

1. Choose position of clamps, based on pannier rack hoop and according to what you will use Side rack plate for. Different mounting positions are possible. It is preferred that two clamps are on top side, two on bottom and one at each side. 

2. Shown below is proper way to insert clamps - "flat" part is on the inside, so Side rack plate will fit inside the hoop. Compress each clamp, so it will be easier to install Side rack plate.

3.Secure upper clamps first, in "tilted up" position. This way you can easily engage bolts and washers and than just tilt the plate downwards.

Don't forget washers - Bolt - washer - plate - clamp - washer - nut! 

Tip - use small zip tie to compress clamps. That way mounting will be much easier. When bolts and nuts are engaged, just cut zip ties. 

5. When everything is well aligned, tighten up all bolts and nuts. No need to tighten up too much, since safety nuts are used. Just make sure there is no free play between Side rack plate and clamp.

6. After first longer ride, check everything again and tighten up if needed.

B. ROTOPAX MOUNT

Rotopax container can be mounted in various positions, it is up to your preference. Bolt Rotopax mount onto Side rack plate using proper bolts. 

4. Rotopax container should "sit" tight on the clamp rubber.

Do not ride with just Rotopax mount (without Rotopax container on it). It is 2 minute job to dismount Rotopax mount.
