Jack up the vehicle securely in a
well-lit, clean workstation. To do so,
you should use a paddock stand or
the centre stand wherever possible.
If neither is available, the side stand
should be secured with a lashing strap
to prevent it from folding away.
Check the luggage rack (sold
separately) to make sure that it is
in perfect, loadable condition and is
screwed flawlessly and firmly to the
vehicle.
Remove the adaptor plate from the
top box and place it on the luggage
rack symmetrically, as shown in the
illustration. The plate should rest
evenly and over a large area on it.
Now hold one of the two clamping
rails with the smooth side against the
luggage rack from below and slide it to
find the fastening point which enables
you to push the screws through the
adaptor plate and into the clamping
rails, so that the clamping rail secures
the adaptor plate firmly to the luggage
rack. Once a good fastening point has
been found for each clamping rail, the
screws can be pushed through and
fastened under the clamping rail with
washers and nuts. The screws must
be tightened carefully so that the adaptor plate is not deformed in the process.
Finally, check whether the adaptor plate is fastened firmly to the luggage rack in
such a way that it does not slip.
Then push the top box into the shackle on the adaptor plate from the rear using
the projecting lug, and screw it in place on the adaptor plate with the star knob
