●
Both bike cradles are exactly same.
●
It is different from the original cradle found on BikeTower20 on its hook position. It is 40mm further from the pillar
in order to avoid conflicting the pedal to the pillar when it is rotated.
It is sold separately under the name of "Bike Cradle 20.2". When you need to add more cradles, choose this model.
●
The gray plastic shim found on BikeTower series doesn't come with P-500 because the 45mm diameter pillar doesn't
require such spacer. The shim is used only for the 40mm diameter pillar.

Join The Pillars
The pillars on P-500AL-6S are separated, not a single piece.
Both pillars have same diameter, and the Pillar Joint fastens the pillars.
Pillar Joint has already been installed on the Upper Pillar.
You insert it into the Lower Pillar, then tighten the clamps to fix.
1
At first, loosen the clamp on the Lower Pillar using 5mm hex wrench.
2
Insert the Pillar Joint into the Lower Pillar.
3
While keeping both pillars tightly attached, tighten the clamp firmly.
(Tightening Torque = 8 N.m)
!
Regularly check if the clamp bolts are securely
tightened. If these bolts have been loosened,
the pillar could come apart and fall down.
!
If you apply too much torque when tightening the bolt, the clamp
may be deformed. If the clamp ends touch each other, it no longer
works and you'll need to replace it with a new clamp immediately.
