Setup and Installation
The GIVI WL901 case is designed for easy installation on any GIVI Monokey plate. Ensure your motorcycle or scooter is equipped with a compatible Monokey plate before proceeding.
- Prepare the Monokey Plate: Ensure the Monokey plate on your vehicle is clean and free from debris. The plate's four elastic spacers are designed to absorb oscillations and vibrations, providing a secure and stable contact surface for the case.
- Attach the Case: Align the WL901 case with the Monokey plate. Gently press down until you hear a click, indicating that the case is securely locked onto the plate. Verify the attachment by attempting to lift the case.
- Lock the Case: Use the provided key to lock the case to the Monokey plate. This prevents accidental detachment and secures your belongings.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to clean the ABS plastic exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Interior: The removable interior bag can be cleaned separately with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the case.
- Zipper Care: Periodically check the expansion zipper for debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if it becomes stiff.
- Lock Maintenance: Keep the lock mechanism clean and lubricated with a small amount of graphite powder or a specialized lock lubricant.
- Storage: When not in use, store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
- Case not locking onto plate: Ensure the case is correctly aligned with the Monokey plate and pressed down firmly. Check for any obstructions on the plate or the case's locking mechanism.
- Zipper difficulty: If the expansion zipper is stiff, clean it thoroughly and apply a zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
- Water ingress: While the interior bag offers IPX5 waterproofing, ensure the main case zipper is fully closed and the case is properly sealed when exposed to rain. Inspect the case for any damage that might compromise its water resistance.
