4. INSTALLATION
4.1
To install PARKIS, the surface of the wall has to be even, and the floor has to be
level. Rest the lower end of the stand on the floor, lean it to the wall and mark the
spots for the screws. If you intend to mount PARKIS to the masonry wall (recommended),
make pilot holes for fastening screws, install screw anchors, lean the equipment to the
wall accurately and screw the equipment to the wall tightly. For other types of walls,
please obtain suitable screws. For installation on other surfaces, such as railings, remote
support and walls with skirting board (plinth), please refer to the PARKIS accessories.
4.2
Remove safety-catch (fig. 3.A).
4.3
Put a wheel’s support to the horizontal position (fig. 3.B).
4.4
Push a wheel locking mechanism (further in the text – dolly) to the ground position
limit. You will normally feel resistance while pushing. It will fix automatically at floor
level (fig. 3.C), and now your PARKIS is ready to use!

5.1 USE - PARKING
1.
Before parking your bicycle, make sure that there are no children or pets around to
avoid accidents. Hold the bike so that both wheels are perpendicular to the surface that
PARKIS is fastened to.
2.
Use one hand to lightly hold your bicycle’s handlebar (first-time users are advised to
pick the bar underhand) and firmly take the saddle with the other hand. We recommend
you hold the saddle with your leading hand. (fig. 4. A)
3.
Firmly push the saddle forward while lifting the handlebar lightly (stronger for heavy
bicycles) and directing the front wheel towards the wheel locking mechanism, until the
wheel locks. Attention! Do not push the handlebar downwards! Let the front wheel go
up freely (fig. 4. B and 4. C). At the same time, hold the saddle firmly and direct the rear
wheel the way it goes in the middle of the stand. Your bike is now parked! (fig. 4. D)
