Big Dummy Bag Instructions
Hi there. Thanks for spending your hard-earned cash on this Surly product. Surly stuff is designed to be useful and durable.
We're confident it will serve you well for years to come.
Read these instructions completely before beginning installation of this product. Have your local professional bicycle mechanic
perform the installation if you lack the knowledge or tools to perform installation correctly.
WARNING: FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ANY OF THESE SAFETY WARNINGS COULD CAUSE A CRASH
AND SERIOUS INJURY.
• Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic. Never modify
your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings including information on the
manufacturer's website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride. Always wear a helmet.
* Do not exceed the maximum cargo rating of your particular rack model. Exceeding the cargo limit of your rack could
cause the rack to fail resulting in serious injury. Check with other manufacturer's systems to determine if they are
compatible with the Dummy Cargo System. Do not modify the luggage carrier in anyway. Hardware included with the
rack and bags must be used. Do not use included other accessories not intended for use with these bags.
• The maximum load capacity of the Big Dummy Bag is 75 lbs. per bag. Check rack manufacturer's specs to determine
the maximum cargo weight limit of your rack. Distribute load weight evenly on both sides and secure your load.
• What you load and how you load it makes a big difference in how a bike like this handles! Use caution with unusually
heavy, long, or large cargo. The bicycle may behave differently (particularly with regard to steering and braking)
when loaded.
• Make sure your load is evenly balanced and secure before every ride. Entanglement of cargo or straps in your wheel
could stop the rotation of the wheel, causing a loss of control or crash that could lead to serious injury. Check that the
bags do not interfere with the function of your bicycle BEFORE attempting to ride. Ensure even cargo distribution,
and confirm lights and reflectors are not obstructed by the bags.
• Position reflectors and lights so that they are not obstructed when the bags are installed.
