(ver.5.2 2015/5)

Features & Benets

• Save vast amounts of space by hanging the bicycles
vertically from the front wheel.

• Alloy pillar is durable, light weight and rust proof.

• You can choose from two different styles on the base
leg layout; K-style for more effective space saving by
placing just next to a wall, or X-style for added better
stability.

• Newly designed alloy clamp holds the attachment
securely and easily to adjust its height.

• Top hook is padded with soft plastic to prevent damage
to the rim

twisting the bike while hanging down.

• Holds a total of 40 kg (max 20 kg per side).

!

• For normal 2-wheel bicycle only. Tandem,
recumbent, long tail bike and DH bike with super
long suspension fork may not be used on this stand
in the case if the rear wheel has reached the oor
even if you set the top hook at the highest position.

• Set the stand on an even and horizontal oor.

Adjust each foot precisely to insure each of the

foot's four points touch the oor evenly.

• Be sure to keep the weight on the stand balanced.

A heavy bike on one side without a similar weight

bike on the other side may cause the stand to tip.

• The clamp is made of strong but lightweight

material.

Do not overtighten or the bolt may come out of the

housing, ruining the clamping mechanism.

• Follow the correct order for tightening the screws.
Failure to do so may lead to improperly tightened
screws.

• Screw the bolt by your nger at least in the rst 3 –
4 rotations in order to prevent wrong screwing. After
conrming the bolt is screwed properly without any
problem, you can now use tool for tightening.

• To prevent the stand from tipping over backwards,
the stand should be placed next to a wall when you
choose K-style leg combination.

• The rear wheel hook is a guide, not a lock. It is there
to help maintain balance.

. Its unique dual hook design avoids

You will install short Legs first, so you don't have to

Assemble P-600 in X-style Leg

Setting up the P-600 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 optional attachments
on the pillar.
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

Joint the Pillars

The pillars on P-600AL-5S are separated, not a single piece like as
previous model.
Both pillars have same diameter, and the pillar joint fastens the pillars.
The pillar joint has already been installed on the upper pillar.
You insert it into the lower pillar, then tighten the clamps to fix.

At first, loosen the clamp on the lower pillar by M5 hex wrench.

1

Insert the pillar joint into the lower pillar.

2

While keeping both pillars are tightly attached, tighten the clamp firmly.

3

(tightening torque: 8 N.m)

Reguraly check if the clamp bolts are securely
tightened. If these bolts have been loosened, the

!

pillar could be apart and fall down.

If you apply too much torque for tightening the bolt, the clamp may

!

be deformed. If the clamp ends touch each other, it no longer works
and you need to replace to a new clamp for your safety.

1

Install the top hook to the
upper clamp.
Make sure the clamp is
placed between the four
projections on the hook.

Screw the bolt using your
finger at least in the first 3–4
rotations. After confirming
the bolt threads without
any problem, use the tool to
tighten.

2

Install the bottom book to the lower clamp.
You don't have to fix the bottom hook. Adjust the tightening
as the hook won't come down by its own weight.

It's possible on any threaded mechanism that
the bolt can be forced on at an angle. If this

!

happens the bolt usually stops in one turn.
If you feel the bolt is threading incorrectly do
not continue or doing so will cause damage to
the thread, possibly destroying it.
Properly threaded bolts will turn easily so
using your ngers to get the bolt started
insures you'll know if the bolt is installed
correctly.

Pivot-Pin

Move the clamp with hook to your desired position.

The hook can be positioned at anywhere you want, but
you must place it to just beside the pillar when you choose
K-style leg.

To move the clamp, loosen ① clamp tighitening bolt and

pivot-pin fixing bolt together with M5 hex wrench, then

②

slide the clamp along the pillar.

③

The clamp may not move if you loosen the

!

!

!

side bolt only. You should loosen both bolts.

Be sure the clamp touches the pillar directly.
If you don't loosen the bolt enough, it may
cause scratching. You should loosen widely.

When you set the legs in K-style, you must
place the hooks just beside the pillar,
otherwise the stand may tip over due to
improper balance.

Clamp Tightening Bolt

(Fig. Y)

Put the Pivot-Pin through all 3 holes
on the clamp band from bottom side,
and screw the Pivot-Pin Fixing Bolt
with a flat washer temporally.

Make sure to insert the

Pivot-Pin from the bottom.
If you don't, you will not
be able to tighten the bolt
using a hex wrench.

Do not tighten the Pivot­Pin Fixing Bolt rmly yet.
The next job will become
difcult.

Turn the Pivot-Pin to align the thread
hole to the side hole on the clamp
band.
Screw the Clamp Tightening Bolt into
the Pivot-Pin.

To fix the clamp band firmly, tighten
the Clamp Side Pin first then tighten
the Pivot-Pin Fixing Bolt later.

Adjust the bottom hooks clamp height as the bike becomes
vertical when hooking the rear tire in the deepest position.

After moving, firmly tighten both ① and ② bolts.

How To Reinstall Clamp Band

The clamp bands come pre-installed and they should not
need to be removed. However, there may come time when
adding options to P-600AL-5S that you will need to remove
them.
Install the clamp peoperly as instructed below. Failure to do
so may cause parts damage or allow the bike to come off the
stand..
