3.8 Installing the bag on the tunnel
NOTE: Before beginning to install the bag on the tunnel, ensure
the size of the tunnel is adequate for the bags you are
using. If necessary, change the tunnel (see section 9).
Place the bag on the tunnel
1. Remove the bag from the box and unfold the edges so the markings and the stretch band are
on the side (Figure 19 – Preparing the Bag). They will thus appear on the side when the bag
will be installed on the tunnel.
Figure 19 – Preparing the Bag
2. With the handles provided, lower the rear plate (A) (see Figure 20 – Bag Installation Sticker).
