Cradle Hook

The stand should be in
contact directly with the

oor or carpet. Do not put

anything between the stand

and oor that might cause

the stand to slip.

• Remove any sand and dust from the

area Leg touches to prevent slippage
problem. Do not place paper or
sheet under the leg.

• The hook may stain lighter colored
frames. We suggest wrapping the
hook in bar tape to prevent any
cosmetic damage from happening.

• Check to make sure the bolts on the
stand are tight. Tighten rmly with

the proper tools when needed.
