Figure 1. Attaching 2-Up Rack

Pull the rotary latches (3) back into their rearmost position. Position the rear rotary latches over the rear docking points (4), making certain the latches and sideplates (5) fit into the neck (6) of the rear docking points. This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the sideplates or docking point brackets.

Push downward and close the rotary latches by pressing the latch lever as far forward as it will go. You will hear a click when the latch is in place. If the latch does not easily close, do not force. Recheck alignment as described in Step 2.

To remove the rack, press the release button (7), and pull the rotary latch lever back. Carefully lift the rear of the rack up and pull the rack out of the front docking points.
