WARNING
Improper handling of a luggage rack may cause you to fall!
Improper handling of a pannier rack or the luggage attached to it may lead to serious crashes.
• Never exceed the rack’s maximum load limit.

load of 8 kg per side.
• Do not exceed the load limit of the bicycle even when the rack is loaded (see “1.9 Weight limit”).
• A loaded rear rack may change the steering and braking characteristics of your bike.
• Always attach additional accessories for the rack (e.g. panniers) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure lights or reflectors are not obstructed when the pannier is attached.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the rack.
• Secure luggage against sliding or falling down. Make sure there are no loose parts hanging down.
• Secure and regularly check the rack’s mounting brackets.
• Racks must not be modified.
• Do not attach trailers to the rack.
