Due to the weight balance after removing the front or rear wheel, any longer or heavier bikes are not suitable for use with the RS-1700. Also, RS-1700 is for light-duty maintenance only. • When mounting the bike, maintain the weight balance correctly by adjusting the main arm poisition. In addition, be sure the heavier side of the bike is located just above one of the tripod legs to support the weight safely. • Use on flat and horizontal floor. Fully open the tripod legs. • Bicycles that can be safely mounted to the RS-1700 are as follows; Front fork width is 100mm (plain hub nut, 9mm quick skewer or 15mm thru axle types). Rear frame end width is either 120, 125, 130 or 135mm (plain hub nut or 9mm quick skewer type) or 142mm (12mm thru axle type). Any other specs such as narrow 74mm fork width usually found on mini-velo bikes or 20mm thru axle on Downhill bikes cannot be mounted. • On any bike with hydraulic disc brake, do NOT grasp the brake lever once you remove the wheel. • When transporting RS-1700, do not just grab the top rubber part (BB Support) only. It may come off due to the stand weight. You must hold the stand frame. • RS-1700 supports the bike at the bottom bracket. If your bike is equipped with an electric transmission system and its battery is located just next to the bottom bracket, it may not fit RS-1700 properly. • RS-1700 can be used as the stand for washing bikes because of its unique swivel arm design. But you should dry the stand as quickly as possible after using because some steel parts may rust if it stays wet. • Use the included Velcro strap to securely hold the bike and keep it in the stand.

(see Fig. E) In the package, just the knob bolts and the plate nuts have been set on the Arm. The quick release skewer on the Front Fork Mount is a specially designed wide stroke type. Usually you need to loosen the skewer nut to remove the front wheel due to the projection on tip of the fork, but this skewer allows opening widely by just lever action to make the job quite easier. (Fig. G) To setup for the 15mm thru type axle fork, loosen (do not remove) two headless bolts under the fork mount and remove the red guide sleeve and the quick release skewer. Insert the 15mm axle of your bike into the hole then hold the front fork. Make the Arm horizontal, remove the knob bolts, adjust the plate nut position, then install the front fork mount and the rear end mount. ! ! ! Adjust the adapter length to your bike's frame end width correctly. Failure to do so should cause a serious damage to your bike frame.
