ASSEMBLY

FIG. 1

FIG. 2

FIG. 3

1. Insert the adjustable axle support
into the body of the stand as
shown. To do this, simply raise the
handle as far as possible and
slowly lower the support into the
body with the teeth facing away
from the handle.

2. To prevent the support from
coming out off the stand each
time the stand is picked up by the
support, the tab (Fig. 1 Inset)
requires reforming. This can be
carried out as follows.

• Lay the axle stand on a firm
surface with the tab facing
upwards.

• Insert a suitable flat bladed
screwdriver into the aperture as
shown in Fig.2. Carefully apply a
firm downwards pressure, bending
the tab inwards.

• Only bend the tab sufficiently to
act as a stop for the support.

3. If the tab requires further bending
use an open ended spanner
(13mm approx) as shown in Fig. 3.

4. Again push down on the spanner
until the tab is sufficiently formed.

5. The axle stand is now complete
and ready to be used.

NOTE: When forming the tab, DO

NOT OVERBEND it, bending
the tab too much could
cause it to foul the axle support and prevent it from functioning
correctly.
