Safety & Fuel Hazard Warnings
Please read these warnings.
They’re for your safety and
they’re very important.
Installing this product incorrectly could result
in a fire or explosion leading to serious bodily
injury or death to you or others.
Using this product other than as described
and approved by BestRest could result in a
fire hazard leading to serious bodily injury or
death to you or others.
Carrying flammable or explosive fluids exter-
nally on any vehicle presents an inherent
safety hazard. The only truly safe method of
carrying fuel is in your vehicle fuel tank.
Carry external fuel only when you anticipate
conditions where you won’t be able to get
gasoline through normal sources.
As soon as your vehicle fuel tank level has
been consumed, transfer fuel from the
Peg-
Packer
™
to your vehicle fuel tank.
In the event of a collision or tip-over, exter-
nally mounted containers may leak, burst,
vent, or otherwise spill their contents. This
may result in a fire hazard leading to serious
bodily injury or death to you or others.
If the
PegPacker
™
is mounted so that it’s
wider than your panniers, the Blitz
®
container
could be torn from it’s mounts and could spill
its contents. The Blitz
®
container is not abra-
sion resistant. If it contacts the road surface
the container may spill its contents. This may
result in a fire hazard leading to serious bod-
ily injury or death to you or others.
This product is designed for “off road use
only”. If you choose to use the
PegPacker
™
on the streets, you are doing so completely at
your own risk.
Read and follow all the safety warnings on
the Blitz
®
container. Read the colored sticker
on the end of the container, and read the
embossed warnings on the side of the con-
tainer.
When refilling the Blitz
®
container, place it on
the ground to prevent static charge and
sparking that may result in a fire or explosion
hazard. Read and follow the safety warnings
on the service station fuel pump.
Read all of the instructions before you begin.
If you don’t have proper tools or lack me-
chanical experience, DO NOT PROCEED.
Take the
PegPacker
™
to a qualified me-
chanic for installation.
If you intend to use the container for potable
water, clean the inside with a dish detergent
solution and/or disinfectant. Mark the con-
tainer clearly so it doesn’t get mixed up with a
fuel container. Don’t ever put fuel in a con-
tainer intended for carrying water. Once
you’ve put fuel in a container, it can NEVER
AGAIN be used to carry potable water! Mark
water containers with white paint, or wrap
white tape around the handle so you don’t
accidentally mix water and fuel.
The
PegPacker
™
is for SOLO riding only. It
should never be used when carrying a pas-
senger.
Failure to properly secure the nylon straps
could result in the container falling off the
motorcycle, resulting in a fire hazard leading
to serious bodily injury or death to you or
others.
Failure to tighten the nozzle may cause fuel
leakage and a fire hazard leading to serious
bodily injury or death to you or others.
Do not overfill the Blitz
®
containers. Leave
plenty of room in the container for expansion
of fuel. Hot weather will cause the gasoline
to expand, which may cause the nozzle to
leak. Allow for expansion by leaving an air
space at the top. The Blitz
®
container has an
embossed “SAFE FILL LEVEL”. Do not ex-
ceed this mark.
When opening a Blitz
®
nozzle, do so slowly to
allow vapors to safely escape. If you open
the nozzle too quickly, the fuel may spray
outward and cause a fire hazard leading to
serious bodily injury or death to you or others.
Do not smoke when you are opening, refill-
ing, mounting, or demounting the
Peg-
Packer
™
. Keep the Blitz
®
container away
from any spark, flame, or other ignition
source.
Yeah, we know, these are dire warnings, full
of doom and gloom. We don’t mean to
frighten you, but we do want you to clearly
understand the risks involved when you carry
fuel externally. Use common sense.
