Hold the backpack by its handle

Stand upright, hold the backpack's top handle in one hand with your palm forward and let your arm hang by your side.

Bend your elbow and bring the backpack toward your shoulder, then lower it until your arm is almost straight.
Most common mistake
Don't swing the backpack with your body, stand still and keep your upper arm by your side as your elbow bends.
