The SHAD top case is a versatile and robust luggage solution designed for motorcycles, offering secure storage and ease of use. This manual details the assembly, operation, and key features of various SHAD top case models, including the SH40, SH40 Cargo, SH42, SH45, and SH46.
The primary function of the SHAD top case is to provide secure and convenient storage for personal belongings, such as helmets, during motorcycle travel. It is designed to be mounted on a motorcycle's rear rack, offering an additional cargo capacity that enhances the utility of the vehicle. The "Press Lock System" is a core feature, ensuring that the case is securely closed and locked, preventing accidental opening or theft. This system allows for quick and easy access to the contents while maintaining a high level of security. The SHAD top cases are also designed with a "Waterproof Sealing System," which protects the contents from rain and moisture, making them suitable for various weather conditions. Furthermore, the cases are "Impact Resistant," built to withstand the rigors of road travel and potential minor impacts, ensuring the safety of both the case and its contents.
The SH40 Cargo model, specifically, includes additional features for increased versatility. It is designed to carry extra load on top of the case itself, making it ideal for users who need to transport larger or irregularly shaped items that might not fit inside. This is achieved through an integrated top rack system, allowing for bungee cords or nets to secure items externally.
The SHAD top case is designed for straightforward installation and operation. The assembly process begins with fitting the D1B40PA rack to the motorcycle. This rack serves as the base for mounting the top case and is included with the purchase. The manual provides detailed instructions for securing the rack, involving the use of screws, washers, and nuts to ensure a stable and safe attachment to the motorcycle's original packet-holder. Once the adaptor rack is in place, the top case can be easily fitted.
To attach the top case, the key should be inserted and left in the vertical position. The rear tongue of the case slots into the adaptor groove, and the front anchorage fits into its housing. A distinct "click" indicates that the pin has engaged, confirming the case is properly fixed. It is crucial to ensure the front opening lever is correctly positioned for secure attachment.
Operating the top case involves a simple key mechanism. To open the case, the key is inserted in the vertical position, and the locking mechanism is operated as shown in the manual's illustrations. To lock the top case, the key is turned in a clockwise direction. This action not only secures the case but also prevents it from being detached from the adaptor. The key can be removed in either the locked or unlocked position, offering flexibility.
Removing the top case is also a simple procedure. With the key in the vertical position, the case is held by its handle, and the lower part of the opening mechanism is operated. Gently lifting the case allows the anchorage to come out, after which the upper tongue can be pulled to remove it from the adaptor groove. This quick-release system is convenient for users who frequently need to remove the case from their motorcycle.
The design of the SHAD top cases also considers the user's comfort and convenience. Many models are capable of holding a normal helmet and a jet helmet, making them practical for daily commutes or longer trips. The "Designed in Barcelona" label highlights the product's origin and commitment to quality and design.
While the manual does not explicitly detail a separate "maintenance" section, several aspects of the design imply ease of maintenance and durability. The robust construction, including impact-resistant materials and a waterproof sealing system, inherently reduces the need for frequent maintenance related to wear and tear or weather damage. The use of standard screws and nuts for assembly suggests that components can be easily replaced if necessary, using common tools.
The "Press Lock System" is designed for long-term reliability, but like any mechanical system, it benefits from proper handling. Ensuring the key mechanism is kept clean and free of debris will help maintain its smooth operation. Similarly, the waterproof seals, while durable, should be periodically checked for any signs of damage or wear to ensure continued protection against moisture.
Optional accessories, such as an "Optional backrest as an accessory" and an "Optional brake light as an accessory," further enhance the functionality and safety of the top case. The backrest provides added comfort for a passenger, while the brake light increases visibility, contributing to overall road safety. These accessories are designed to integrate seamlessly with the top case, indicating a modular approach to the product line that allows users to customize their setup as needed. The availability of individual parts, as listed in the "PARTS" section of the manual, ensures that specific components can be sourced for repair or replacement, extending the lifespan of the top case. This commitment to providing replacement parts is a key aspect of long-term maintenance and user support.
