You should mount the heavier bike
on the bottom cradle and the lighter
bike on the top cradle for the better
weight balance.
If you take the bike off from the
bottom cradle and another bike
remains on the top cradle only,
please pay attention to the balance in
order to avoid the bikes causing the
stand to tip or fall down.
Mounting Your Bike
!
!
To mount your bike on the P-500, place the hooks
under the crossing sections of the frame tubing.
You should set the hook distance as wide as possible
for greatest stability.
On a normal diamond type frame, you will hook the
top-tube with both hooks, but in the case of sloping
frame or other specially designed frame, you can
change to another point such as behind the seat-tube
to avoid slippage problem. (see Fig. T)
Choose the most stable section for maximum safety.
If the bikes front wheel is positioned
higher than the rear, the front wheel
may move side-to-side.
This could cause incidental damage
to your bike if the handle bar or
brakes or other parts come in
contact with your frame.
Adjust the bike accordingly to avoid
incidental contact.
Or we strongly recommend you to
connect the front wheel and the
down-tube with a strap belt.
The hook material may leave stain to
the bike frame finish, especially on
the light color such as white.
To avoid this kind of problem, we
recommend you to put a piece of
bar-tape on the hook or wrap the
hook with bandage in order to
prevent touching each other directly.
