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 Parkis on the floor, lean it to the wall and mark the spots for
screws. If you intend to mount PARKIS to the masonry wall (which is 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 wall,
please obtain suitable screws.
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 on floor
level (fig. 3.C), 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 your bike so that both wheels are on the line perpendicularly to the surface
that PARKIS is fastened to.
2.
Use one hand to lightly hold a handlebar of your bicycle (first-time users are advised to
pick the bar underhand) and firmly take the saddle with the other hand. We recommend
you to hold the saddle with your leading hand. (fig. 4.A)
3.
Firmly push the saddle forward while lifting up 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 a rear wheel so
that it goes in the middle of the stand. Your bike is parked! (fig. 4.D)
