Due to the shipping bulk created by the curved frame, the Framus backpack may be delivered unassembled.

Assembly Instructions for the Framus Backpack

1. Open the Internal Sleeve: Open the Velcro closure of the inner sleeve, as well as the two channels where the frame will be inserted.
2. Insert the Aluminum Bars: Refer to the video below to ensure correct bar orientation. Insert each bar all the way to the bottom of its channel. For new packs, you may need to apply a little extra pressure only during the last 3–5 cm of insertion, as the tip passes through the reinforced pocket at the bottom. When fully inserted, the top of the bars should extend approximately 2 cm (1″) above the top of the channel.
3. Close the Channels and Sleeve: Secure each Velcro tab at the top end of the channels, then close the inner sleeve.
4. Ready to Use: Your Framus backpack is now fully assembled and ready for action!

Tip: You can also watch the video below to see how it’s done step by step.
