Using your Aeroe Rear Rack is easy. First, decide whether you want to mount the Cradle on the top or sides of the rack. Then, place your drybag or tent in the Cradle and secure it with the built - in straps. If you want to customize your setup, you can add extra Cradles and Pods. When loading, make sure not to exceed the 16kgs (35 lbs) load capacity. For maintenance, clean the rack regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the high - grade stainless steel, anodized aluminium, glass - reinforced nylon, and silicone - coated straps. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and damage.
