Installing the Device on a Rear Rack

Before you can install the Varia™ eRTL615 tail light, you need 3 mm and 4 mm hex keys and a cable to connect your device.

  1. Complete the required steps based on the configuration of your rear rack:
    • If the rear rack can accommodate the friction flange adapter, complete steps 2 through 5.

    • If the device can be attached directly to the rear rack, complete steps 6 through 9.

  2. Attach the friction flange adapter Callout number 1 to your Varia eRTL615 tail light using two M4 screws.
    TIP: For longer bike racks or if you have other attachments on the back of your bike, attach the extender Callout number 2 to the friction flange adapter.
