2.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the OS-6 pack from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. The pack should include the main OS-6 bag, a removable white liner, and any included mounting straps or hardware.

2.2 Mounting Options

The OS-6 pack offers flexible mounting options:

2. Integration with Kriega OS-BASE or Platform:

   For enhanced versatility, the OS-6 can be attached to a Kriega OS-BASE or OS-PLATFORM (sold separately) using the alloy hooks. Follow the instructions provided with your OS-BASE or OS-PLATFORM for specific attachment procedures.

Important: Before each ride, verify that the pack is firmly attached and all straps and buckles are secure. Loose luggage can be a safety hazard.

3. Operating the OS-6 Pack

The OS-6 Adventure Pack is designed for ease of use and maximum protection of your gear.

3.1 Loading the Pack

Open the roll-top closure. Place your items inside the removable white liner. The liner ensures the contents remain dry and can be easily removed for cleaning or packing. Distribute weight evenly to maintain motorcycle balance.

3.2 Securing the Roll-Top Closure

To ensure 100% waterproofing, follow these steps:

1. Expel as much air as possible from the pack after loading.
2. Roll the top edge down at least three times, pressing firmly to create a tight seal.
3. Clip the side buckles together to secure the rolled top.

3.3 Using Acetal Cam Buckles and Straps

The pack features Acetal cam buckles and compression straps. These allow you to cinch down the pack to reduce bulk and further secure its contents. Adjust these straps to keep the load compact and stable.
