Install each Bike Cradle to the Main Pillar.
To install the Stainless Band Clip, follow the steps below;
1) Once disassemble the Stainless Band Clip.
2) Open the band and wind it around the Main Pillar.
3) Lap the band ends (see Fig. J). The end with a welded nut
must be inward. Make sure that both ends t each other. If
not, adjust the bending angle.
4) Attach the Plastic Bracket onto the band. It should be
snapped in.
5) Put the bolt into the hole on the hook, then screw into the
bracket gently.
6) Adjust the hook position and tighten the bolt rmly.
If the inside band end with welded nut has
been angled against the bolt, you won't be
able to screw the bolt in.
Make sure the nut side end is properly set
at right angle to the bolt. (see Fig. K)
Do not push the bolt so much when
screwing in.
The band end will have to be bent and you
are no longer tighten the bolt.
Stainless Band must be
located in upper position
Bottom Arch must be
located in lower position

later to t the actual bike frame size. (see Fig. G)

Assemble the upper Bike Cradle for the Top Frame.
Put the Alloy Bar onto the Angle Adjust Plate and install them to
the Top Frame with bolts. (see Fig. M)
The upper bolt is M6x20 (type-A) with a spring washer, and the
lower bolt is M6x14 (type-C).
11
Insert the Top Frame to the Main Pillar. Make sure the cut out
on the plastic Pillar End Cap faces backward and is just above
the M6x18 bolt.
There are two holes on the Top Frame to adjust the stand
height. Choose either hole to t your ceiling height.
Tighten the M6x18 Bolt (type-B) rmly. (see Fig. N)
Stand Height: Lower Hole = 2,120mm (6' 11")
Upper Hole = 2,040mm (6' 8")

The Bike Cradle is angle adjustable to hold your bike stable.
Set the bike horizontal or make the front wheel a little lower than
the rear wheel.
To adjust, loosen the lower bolt (not the upper bolt), adjust the
angle, then tighten the bolt rmly again. (see Fig. O)

To display your bikes as securely as possible, the P-500AL-2 must
stand vertical.
Using the Foot Adjusters, make sure all feet are contacting the
ground evenly. Then tighten the Lock Nut using a 13mm spanner.
(see Fig. P)
Place your bike on the Bike Cradle using both hooks supporting
the top tube. The hook distance should be as wide as possible for
greater stability. (see Fig. Q)

If your bike has a heavily sloping top tube, change
to hook the juncture of the seat tube and seat stay
to set your bike more stable.
!
<Fig. Q>
If you have set the bike in the angle that the front
wheel is located higher than the rear wheel, the
handlebar and front wheel may turn rapidly due to
the weight balance.
To avoid this problem, you should set the front
wheel a little downward.
