angle, so you can keep your standing position during your work
even for maintenance on lower part of your bike such as the bottom
bracket or the derailleur.
In addition, this stand can be used as a bike display stand.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do NOT use W-300 without
clmapin the frame, otherwise the
bike may fall off.
Set the Plate Le on proper position otherwise the

HOW TO SET-UP YOUR W-300
1Place the Lower Frame on the level floor and
fully open the Leg. Attach the Plate Leg onto
the bottom of the Lower Frame and secure it
with supplied Knob Bolt. (see Fig. A & B)
(Fi . A)
Be careful not to pinch your fin er when you open the le .
(Fi . B)
Be sure the Plate Le is installed properly so the Plate Le
doesn’t come over any uide projections. These are
located on the bottom of the Lower Frame.

(Fi . C)
Install the Foot Adjuster on both legs. (see Fig. C)
(Fi . D)

(Fi . E)
Fix the Height Adjusting Screw at your prefered position.
There are two holes on the Lower Frame. If you choose the
upper hole, the total stand height will be around 1.3 meter. If
you choose the lower hole, the total height will become 10 cm
lower. (see Fig. E)
This adjuster is very important for keepin the stand
stable for your own safety.
Once you place the completed Lower Frame on the floor,
you should check if ALL ed es are touchin the floor at
same time (see Fi . D) and adjust the len th of each Foot
Adjuster if nessessary. Then fix the position by ti htenin
the lock nut with a 10mm open wrench.

!The Tool Tray is made of steel plate, so you may be in-
jured if you scratch the ed e of the plate with your fin er.
Be careful. (see Fi . I)
!
!If the pedal or somethin hits the tray durin crank rota-
tion, move the tray to be behind so its behind the stand
frame.
4Insert the Upper Frame into the Lower Frame (see Fig. F) then
fix the position by tightening the supplied small knob bolt and
the spring. (see Fig. G)
Make sure if the direction of the Upper Frame is correct
that the “V” shaped cut-off on the bottom of the Upper
Frame must be on the Hei ht Adjustin Screw.
The wron direction will not ali n the frame rotation and
will cause stability issues when you clamp your bike on the
W-300.

6Insert the Clamp Jaws to the upper horizontal tube of the
Upper Frame, insert the washer from the backside then
tighten the knob nut. (see Fig. J)
(Fi . J)
If you ti hten the knob nut so ti ht, the clamp jaws may
not rotate easily. The proper amount of ti htenin should
be so the clamp jaws can rotate smoothly but without any
looseness.
If you purchased the optional “Tool Tray”, insert it to the Upper
Frame before inserting the Upper Frame into the Lower Frame,
and tighten the knob bolt to fix the position and angle. (see Fig.

HOW TO REPLACE THE CLAMP RUBBER
!
HOW TO USE THE CLAMP
W-300 has unique one lever operation system for both opening/shutting and adjusting the jaws.
Please read the following operation manual carefully and use it effectively and safely.
(Fi . L)
TO OPEN/SHUT THE JAWS
Simply pull down the Clamp Lever, the jaws will open.
Pull up the lever, the jaws will shut. (See Fig. L)
TO ADJUST THE JAWS
(Fi . K)
When the clearance between the clamp jaws and the bike is too small,
turn the adjuster knob on the lever anti-clockwise.
When the clearance between the clamp jaws and the bike is too great,
turn the adjuster knob on the lever clockwise. (see Fig. K)
1
(Fi . M)
Remove both E-rings which hold the clamp rubber with a
plier. (see Fig. M)
When the turnin the adjuster knob anti-clockwise with
the lever in the open position, do NOT over-ti hten or
force the knob as this will dama e the threads on the
lever.
When turnin the adjuster knob clockwise with the
lever in the open position, do NOT loosen the knob too
much as this will unthread the lever and could dama e
the mechanism.

(Fi . P)
(Fi . Q)
(Fi . R)
(Fi . S)
1Once you had removed the thread of the roll nut in the clamp
jaws compeletely by your improper adjustment (Fig. P), you
cannot use it any more.
2To fix the problem, remove the clamp bolt completely from
the roll nut (see Fig. Q), then tighten the clamp bolt again and
stop when the first a few threads are seen from the roll nut.
(see Fig. R)
Be sure NOT to over-tighten the bolt until NO threads remain
from the roll nut, otherwise the later steps for adjustment may
be difficult.
3Insert the tip of the bolt to the rear roll nut (may be hidden in
the square tubing) and keep this position.
This bolt has a special thread that is opposite to the one on
farthest part. This system makes both roll nuts come together
when you tighten the bolt.
4Stop tightening when the clearance between the roll nuts is
apporoximately one inch (see Fig. S), and check if it becomes
possible to set the bolt down completely in the horrow of the
frame.
