Mounting - URBAN ABS Side Case
Step 1: Attach the side case (1) to the SLC side carrier.
Place the three locking openings of the side case onto the guide bolts of the mounted SLC side carrier. Then press the side case slightly downward until it properly rests on the SLC side carrier.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows a hand pushing the side case onto mounting points. A "CLICK!" sound is indicated. Arrows show the correct alignment. A visible red marking indicates an incorrect lock, warning of potential loss.
ATTENTION: Make sure that all three guide bolts engage at the same time! Pay attention to the clearly audible snap sound of the locking mechanism and that the red marking under the slider is not visible!
To release, press the slider downward.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows a close-up of the locking mechanism with a slider and a button to press. An arrow indicates the direction to press the slider to release.
ATTENTION: All components of the side case must not contact any hot or moving parts of the vehicle! All parts should also remain 5 cm away from hot parts of the vehicle and remain clear of the exhaust stream! After mounting, make sure there are no clearance issues while the suspension is both compressed and extended.
Step 2: Secure the side case against theft.
Open the mounted side case (1) to protect it against theft. Press the locking button and turn it according to the arrow mark until it engages. Then lock the closed zipper with the included lock (2). It is recommended to leave the locking button in the closed position during the ride.

Step 3: Load the side case.
Use the included waterproof inner bag (3) to protect your luggage from moisture.

For easier loading of the side case (1), open the buckles and hook and loop fasteners of the opening reductions, as shown in the drawing.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows the side case with its opening expanded by releasing straps and fasteners.
ATTENTION: Make sure weight is evenly distributed between the left and right side if you want to use both side cases! Make sure that the loading is secured against shifting during the ride!
ATTENTION: Never store pointy or sharp-edged objects, which could cause injury to persons or damage to the vehicle/side case!
Care Instructions
To clean the side case, use warm, soapy water and a soft, clean cloth. Rinse with clean water. Do NOT use strong cleaning agents, rough cleaning tools, or a high-pressure washer!
Clean the side case after riding in salty conditions to avoid damage from salt.
Hard-to-open zippers can be loosened with a small amount of talcum powder.
