2. Setup

The SHAD TR55 Terra Pure Black Top Case is designed to be mounted on a motorcycle using a compatible SHAD mounting plate (sold separately). Ensure you have the correct mounting kit for your specific motorcycle model.

2.1 Installation of Mounting Plate

Refer to the specific instructions provided with your SHAD mounting plate for detailed installation steps. Generally, this involves attaching the plate to your motorcycle's rear rack using the supplied hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely according to the torque specifications in the mounting plate manual.

2.2 Attaching the Top Case

1. Align the bottom of the TR55 Top Case with the mounting points on the installed SHAD mounting plate.
2. Press the top case down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is securely latched onto the plate. The 'TERRA Lock System' ensures a secure attachment.
3. Verify the case is firmly attached by gently pulling upwards on it. It should not lift off the plate.

The top case comes with a set of keys for the integrated lock system. Keep these keys in a safe place.

3. Operating

3.1 Opening and Closing the Top Case

1. To Open: Insert the key into the lock mechanism located on the front of the top case. Turn the key to the unlock position. The lid will unlatch, allowing you to lift it open.
2. To Close: Lower the lid of the top case. Press down firmly on the lid until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the latching mechanism has engaged securely.

3.2 Locking and Unlocking

After closing the lid, turn the key to the lock position to secure the contents and prevent unauthorized access. Remove the key. To unlock, insert the key and turn it to the unlock position.

3.3 Using the Retractable Carrying Handle

The TR55 Top Case features a retractable carrying handle for easy transport when the case is detached from the motorcycle. To extend the handle, locate the handle mechanism on the top of the case and pull it upwards until it locks into place. To retract, press the release buttons (if present) or push the handle down until it is flush with the case.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SHAD TR55 Terra Pure Black Top Case.

4.1 Cleaning

• Clean the exterior of the top case with a soft cloth and mild soap and water.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matt black finish and other components.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots.

4.2 Lock and Hinge Care

• Periodically inspect the lock mechanism and hinges for smooth operation.
• If the lock cylinder becomes stiff or difficult to operate, apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Ensure the stainless steel structure is free from dirt and debris.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your top case.

5.1 Lid Does Not Close Securely

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no items inside the case are preventing the lid from closing completely or obstructing the latching mechanism.
• Verify Latch Alignment: Inspect the latches and corresponding hooks to ensure they are aligned correctly.

5.2 Key Is Stiff or Difficult to Turn

• Lubricate Lock: Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyhole. Insert and remove the key several times to distribute the lubricant.
• Check Key Condition: Ensure the key is not bent or damaged. Use the spare key if available to determine if the issue is with the key or the lock.

5.3 Top Case Does Not Attach Securely to Mounting Plate

• Verify Plate Installation: Ensure the mounting plate is correctly installed and all fasteners are tightened.
• Clear Debris: Check for any debris or foreign objects between the top case and the mounting plate that might prevent a secure connection.
• Inspect Locking Mechanism: Examine the 'TERRA Lock System' on the top case for any visible damage or misalignment.
