• Alternator racks are not designed for carrying anything
other than panniers or rack-specific bags

the warranty

forces of your bike, especially when loaded
• Be sure to test the handling in a safe area before riding
• Make sure your load is evenly balanced and secure before
every ride (i.e. no loose straps to get caught in the wheels)
• Position reflectors and lights so that they are not obstructed
when the rack is loaded
• Do not use any hardware not included in Alternator Rack
packaging. Existing frame hardware may not be rated for
rack use!
