About MPT-200S

● MPT-200S is a multi-use base stand
that accepts many of Minoura's
accessory attachments.

● You can choose the leg pattern from
K-style or X-style.
K-Style allows set-up next to a wall only
while X-Style o󱐯ers more exibilty in
where the stand and attachments can
be placed.

● The pillar is light weight and durable
made of 45mm diameter light alloy
tubing.
Choose the attachment for 45mm size.

(ver.2.0 2014/8)

Cautions

!

● Place the stand only on a level, stable

oor. Adjust all four feet to level the
stand.

● When using the stand in the K-Style

layout, place the stand as close to the
wall as possible to prevent the stand
from tipping over backwards.
Do not install the attachments on the
back side of the stand.

Assemble MPT-200S in K-style Leg

Setting up your MPT-200S in the K-Style leg conguration saves valuable
room because the stand can be placed next to a wall. ONLY place the
bikes on the front side of the stand so as to maintain balance and keep the
stand from toppling over. Maximum bikes per stand is TWO (2).

Pillar

Attach two Leg Brackets to the

1

Pillar.
One is set directly, and another
one is set beyond the silver
Collars.

Assemble MPT-200S in X-style Leg

Setting up the MPT-200S in the X-style allows the stand
to be placed anywhere due

to the larger footprint and

maximum stability of the X.

It also allows you to install

extra bike cradles and/or

optional attachments on the

back side (max number of
bikes is 4).

(Fig. J)

Please note, setting the stand up in the

X-style does require more oor space.

Put the longer M6x70 Bolt to the end hole on the

4

Short Leg, then screw it into the Pillar.
