two bicycles in a single space.
● Alloy pillar is lightweight, rust proof and
durable. Max load is 100 kgs (in X-style
leg mode).
● Legs are switchable between K-style
and X-style depending on the number of
bikes or setup location.
● Alloy clamp securely holds the bike
cradle and allows for easy position
changes.
● The bike hook is designed to be low
profile to get the bike on and off easily.
Soft plastic pads prevent frame from
being scratched. It fits up to 70mm
diameter frame.
● Bike Cradle is same design as Bike-

are fully adjustable.
CAUTIONS
● For normal 2-wheel bicycle only. Tandem,
recumbent and long tail bikes may not be
used on this stand. Place heaviest bike in the
lower cradle to maintain stands balance.
● Set stand on an even, horizontal floor. Adjust
each foot precisely to insure each of the
foot's four points touch the floor evenly.
● Leaving a bike in the top cradle only may
cause an imbalance and the stand could fall
down. Be careful to keep weights balanced
at all times.

● Do NOT hook the bike with the down-tube and seat-tube. Hook the top-tube.
● Set up close to a wall to prevent the stand from falling down when setting the stand up in the K-leg configuration.
● Do NOT try to remove the clamp from the bike cradle when installing on the pillar.
● The clamp is made of light alloy material. Do NOT over-tighten or the bolt may come out of the housing, ruining the
clamping mechanism.
● Tighten the bolts equally. Do NOT tighten just one bolt firmly. Failure to do so may lead to improperly tightened screws.

First of all, confirm the Base Plates. They are not the same.
The upper side plate (will be attached to the Lower Pillar) has
larger holes to allow the bolts putting through, and there are 4
holes in the center area for connecting to the Lower Pillar.
The lower side plate has smaller threaded holes, and there is no
hole in the center area.
Please be sure that the hole pattern is not symmetric. The in-
line 4 holes comes to backside. (see Fig. A)

Place the Lower Pillar on the floor with the top cut
out facing up. Set the Upper Base Plate to the pillar as
shown in the Fig.C.
Screw 4 – M6x30 bolts to the threaded C-shaped
ribs in the Lower Pillar through the center
holes. Tighten the bolts with the 5mm hex
wrench.

If the C-shaped ribs are threaded, those must be at the bottom
with the non-threaded end at the top.

Assemble P-500 in K-style Leg
Setting up your P-500 in the K-Style leg configuration 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).

Look at the Lower
Pillar end.
The threaded side
must come to the
bottom.
The other side is
not threaded.

Install the legs.
All 4 legs are exactly the same size.
Each leg has an inner Reinforcement Bracket on its
end to prevent deformation when tightening the bolt.
Make sure this bracket is set in the deepest position in
the tube. (see Fig. D)
Do not use the leg without the bracket.

Place 4 legs as the letter-K. Sandwich them with the
Upper and the Lower Base Plates. Put 8 – M6x50
bolts into the holes (marked in black) on the Upper
Base Plate, pass through the leg tube, and screw to the
threaded hole. (Tightening Torque = 6 N.m)

Setting up the P-500 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).
Please note, setting the stand up in the X-style does require
more floor space.

Fig.I. Screw 4 – M6x30 bolts to the threaded
C-shaped
ribs in the Lower Pillar through the center
holes. Tighten the bolts with the 5mm hex
wrench.
