Setup and Installation
The Puig 9794N mirror is designed for handlebar mounting and is adaptable to various handlebar types using appropriate adapters (if not included, these may need to be acquired separately based on your specific vehicle's handlebar design).
- Prepare the Handlebar: Ensure the right side of your motorcycle's handlebar is clean and free from obstructions where the mirror will be mounted. If replacing an existing mirror, carefully remove the old unit.
- Attach the Adapter (if necessary): If your handlebar requires a specific adapter for mounting, attach it according to the adapter's instructions. The Puig 9794N mirror is designed to integrate with standard handlebar mounting points.
- Mount the Mirror: Position the mirror's mounting clamp onto the designated area of the handlebar. Ensure the mirror arm extends outwards and provides a clear line of sight.
- Secure the Mirror: Using appropriate tools, tighten the mounting screws or bolts. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the handlebar or the mirror's mounting mechanism. Ensure the mirror is firm and does not rotate freely.
- Initial Adjustment: Loosely adjust the mirror head to a preliminary position that allows you to see behind you. Final adjustments will be made during operation.

Operating the Mirror
The Puig 9794N mirror features an adjustable design and antiglare glass for enhanced visibility.
- Adjusting the Angle: While stationary, gently move the mirror head to achieve the widest possible view of the road behind you. Ensure you can see traffic in adjacent lanes without excessive head movement. The mirror's adjustable mechanism allows for precise positioning.
- Antiglare Feature: The integrated antiglare glass helps to reduce reflections from headlights and sunlight, improving clarity and reducing eye strain during various lighting conditions.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the mirror's position during your ride to ensure it has not shifted due to vibrations or wind pressure. Readjust as needed when safely stopped.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and functionality of your rearview mirror.
- Cleaning: Clean the mirror glass with a soft cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the glass or damage the mirror's finish.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mirror for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the glass, loose mounting points, or corrosion on the metal components.
- Tightness: Periodically check the tightness of all mounting bolts and adjustment screws. Tighten them if they have become loose, but do not overtighten.
