6.3 Functional description
The front wheel of the bicycle to be parked is hooked into the lowered
rubberised hook. After releasing a lift lock, the gas pressure spring pulls
the bicycle upwards by the front wheel. In the Bicyclejack Twist version, the
wheel recesses accommodate the front and rear wheel and thus protect
the wall from dirt. In this position, the bicycle can be secured to the
Bicyclejack Twist/Bicyclejack Basic with a bicycle lock. With the Bicyclejack
Twist variant, it is possible to swing the hanging bicycle to the left or right
against the wall like a page in a book.
To remove the bicycle, pull on the saddle with a small jerky movement.
The bicycle then swings down, the lift lock engages (lift lock on the
Bicyclejack Basic variant is engaged manually), and the front wheel of
the bicycle is lifted out of the hook.

9 Assemble product
WARNING!
Improper assembly of the product at the destination may result in injury.
➢Ensure proper installation.
•The product can be mounted in a higher position without any
problems. A higher mounting favours the force/lever travel, thus the
bicycle can be parked out even more easily. several Bicyclejack can
also be mounted closer or further apart. The following mounting
instructions reflect recommended dimensions.
•Appropriate mounting material can be obtained from the
manufacturer.
•The recommended ceiling height is 210 cm.
•Several products can be mounted next to each other. The side
distance from product to product should not be less than 35 cm. A
minimum distance of 70 cm between two products is
recommended.
•The following assembly instructions reflect recommended dimensions,
based on standard bicycles with a handlebar width of 65 cm and an
overall length of 180 cm.
•6 screws with Ø 8 mm are required for mounting a product.
•The following assembly instructions are illustrated using the
Bicyclejack variant as an example. The Bicyclejack Basic variant is
assembled in the same way.
•The asymmetrical design of the Bicyclejack results in the following
distance dimensions to lateral objects:
Top mounting hole of Bicyclejack Twist to obstacle on left (wall,
cupboard etc.): ≥ 28 cm
Top mounting hole of the Bicyclejack Twist to obstacle on the
right (wall, cupboard etc.): ≥ 45 cm
Top mounting hole of Bicyclejack Basic to obstacle left & right
(wall, cabinet etc.): ≥ 35 cm
Distance dimensions from bicycle lift to bicycle lift see below

Assemble product
Page 13 from 21
Step 1:
Measured from the floor, mark the first
fixing point for the top screw hole of the
Bicyclejack wall spacer at a minimum of
130 cm (preferably at 150 cm) (a higher
mounting makes it easier to park out).
Distance top screw hole to ceiling
≥ 60 cm / Bicyclejack for wide tyres ≥ 63cm.
Preferably mount the Bicyclejacks at an
identical height with a recommended
minimum distance of 70 cm.
Attention! If several Bicyclejacks are to be
accommodated in a confined space, the
Bicyclejack alternating by 20 cm
The minimum dimensions from the floor to
the top screw hole are 150 cm / 130 cm
(distance from top screw hole to ceiling for
Bicyclejack version for tyre width up to 61
mm: ≥ 60 cm / Bicyclejack for wide tyres ≥
63 cm).
A side distance from Bicyclejack to
Bicyclejack should not be less than 35 cm.
Step 2:
Depending on the surface and the
choice of screws, drill the hole (when
using the Bicyclejack fixing kits in
stone/concrete, a 10 mm masonry drill
bit is required for setting the dowels).
Step 3:
Orientation of the Bicyclejack frame: the
lettering is on the left.
The Bicyclejack is first fixed to the
corresponding wall by a screw in the top
hole of the upper wall spacer. Screw
do not tighten yet.

Assemble product
Page 14 from 21
Step 4:
After the Bicyclejack has been levelled, the
positions for the other 5 fastening points
are marked.
Step 5:
Now drill the remaining holes, depending
on the surface and the choice of screws.
Step 6:
The Bicyclejack is now fixed with another 5
screws Ø 8 mm. All 6 screws are now
tightened. Finally, the lever arm is
swivelled downwards by hand until it
engages in the groove of the side plate
(variant "Bicyclejack Basic": engage it
manually by turning the locking knob in the
lever arm!) Depending on the force level
selected, a greater or lesser force of the
gas pressure spring must be overcome
here. This work is now largely done by the
weight of your bicycle.
The product is now fully usable

Care and
maintenance
Page 18 from 21
11 Care and maintenance
WARNING!
Improper care or maintenance of the product may result in injury.
➢Ensure that the product is only cared for and maintained by persons
who have read the operating instructions and have been instructed
accordingly.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to incorrect care and maintenance.
➢Work that is not described may only be carried out by authorised
customer service. Contact the manufacturer if you have any
questions.
11.1 Check product
➢Before each use, check the screws, nuts and moving parts for
tightness.
➢Before each use, check that the anti-lift device engages. You will hear
a "click" sound when it engages.
➢Check regularly that the type plate is legible and that the
instructions for use are accessible to all operators.
11.2 Clean product
➢Clean the product with a soft, damp cloth.
11.3 Replace gas strut
A necessary exchange of the gas pressure spring due to a bicycle change
(bicycle is heavier or lighter than the weight specification of the already
mounted Bicyclejack) is possible without great effort. It does not matter
which gas strut is to be used. All gas springs offered by Bicyclejack are
compatible with all Bicyclejacks.
The gas spring must always be mounted with the piston rod pointing
downwards. This protects the internal seals from premature embrittlement.
Ensure that the lever arm is in the upper position and secured
against falling down.
Then loosen the locking ring on the bolt of the lever arm/gas pressure
cylinder attachment. The gas pressure spring is supported and the bolt
can be removed.
Now lift the lever arm a little upwards, the eye of the gas strut slips
out of the holder. The gas spring is now exposed on one side.

Disposal
Page 19 from 21
12 Disposal
Loosen the nut for fastening the gas cylinder / Bicyclejack central frame
and then remove the screw. The old cylinder is now free and the new
cylinder can be inserted - the assembly procedure is the opposite of the
previous description.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to the pressure in the gas struts.
➢Wear suitable safety glasses
ATTENTION
Incorrectly disposed of gas spring oil causes environmental damage.
➢Dispose of oil separately within the framework of the
respective national regulations.
NOTE
The filling medium used (nitrogen) is neutral and a component of the
earth's atmosphere. Its release therefore does not pose a chemical
hazard.
The pressure in the gas springs is between 20 and 250 bar. The
pressure must be released as follows before disposal.
Release gas spring pressure
Detach the product from the wall and
dismantle the gas spring.
Prepare a saw suitable for metal.
Example illustration
Clamp the gas strut lightly in a vice and
place a protective cloth over the saw
blade.
Example illustration
Saw open the gas strut perpendicular to
the axle in an area between 30 and 35
mm from the pressure tube base.
Stop sawing as soon as you hear a
hissing sound.
The degassing is completed,
Example illustration
as soon as the piston rod can be
moved freely by hand.
