If you remove the spring-loaded hood
when it is closed (in the down
position), the hood may suddenly fly
open and you or someone else may be
bruised, pinched, or injured in another
way.
Always open (raise) the hood before
you remove or install it on the quick-
attach bracket.
3. Install the bags by sliding the bag frame
hooks onto the retaining brackets.
