Installation.

Remove the rack from the bike.

1. Note shallow circular pockets, marked with orange.

2. Inside larger shallow circular pocket, there is a small shallow circular pocket.

3. Position the small M6 washer inside the small shallow circular pocket, as shown.

4. Put mushroom shaped part on top of the washer and insert the M6x25 countersunk bolt from above.

5. From the underside, use M6 small washer and M6 safety nut.

6. Make sure that washer on the top side is still sitting in the shallow pocket and tighten everything.

7. Put pyramid shaped part over the marked holes. Position it so cavity is facing forward.

8. Insert one M6x20 button head bolt from the underside. Use small M6 washer. Tighten lightly.

9. Looking through the hole, center the part so threaded holes are centered in the middle of the slot, as shown on the photo above. Than insert another M6x20 button head bolt and small M6 washer and tighten everything.

10. Insert rubber grommets as shown below.

11. Put the rack on the bike, following instructions from chapters I, II or III.
