General Advice
Installation and/or maintenance of these products require good technical understanding. For your own safety, SW-MOTECH recommends having installation and/or servicing carried out by a specialist workshop. SW-MOTECH assumes no liability for damage caused by improper installation and/or maintenance work. Carefully follow all directions given in the mounting instructions and pay attention to relevant information in the vehicle manual during assembly. Nonconformance can lead to vehicle damage or endanger the driver. These instructions are written based on current knowledge; legal requirements for accuracy do not exist. Products are developed for vehicles in factory setting; compatibility with original or other manufacturers' accessory parts is not guaranteed. Ensure all moving parts (e.g., chain) are in original maintenance state before installation. Installed accessories can change driving behaviour and/or stability.
Preparation
Read the mounting instructions carefully and ensure all parts from the parts list are included. Make sure your vehicle is parked safely. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. Let the motor/exhaust cool down if necessary. Disconnect the vehicle battery when working on the electrical system. Use appropriate tools. Have another person assist you.
Mounting
All parts and connections removed from the vehicle must be reinstalled according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications or replaced by SW-MOTECH supplied parts. Secure all threads, unless otherwise specified, with medium-strength liquid thread locker. Torque specifications not defined by SW-MOTECH must be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer or a specialist workshop.
Function Check
After installation, ensure all previously removed parts and connections are properly replaced. Check for unimpeded movement and flawless function of all vehicle parts. Cables, wires, and hoses must not rub or be pinched. Perform a comprehensive function check before riding. After the first 50 km and at regular intervals, check the tightening torque of all screw connections and the proper fit of the product.
Product Specific Information (General)
Maximum Load: Varies by product, typically 10-12.5 kg per side. Maximum Speed: 130 km/h (80 mph). The indicated maximum load is inclusive of case/luggage and adapter kit. The vehicle manufacturer's maximum load specification must not be exceeded. Use side carriers and cases in pairs. Dismount carriers when not in use. Keep cases away from exhaust gas flow to prevent burns.
