Important Notes
•
Use the supplied plastic tie to hold the pillar to the ceiling
or the wall to avoid the stand from toppling over if the pillar
length was shortened if there was an issue with the locking
bolt.
Minoura is not responsible to any trouble if you don't use
this plastic tie correctly.
• For standard 2-wheel bike only. Not for use with
tandems or long wheel base bicycles.
• Each bike cradle is rated to hold up to 25 kgs.
If mounting heavy bikes, check the bolts often to make
sure they are not loose.
•
Check to make sure the Pillar Joint has remained secure by
pulling down the Upper Pillar after tightening the Pillar Joint
Bolt and the Lock Plate Bolt.
If the pillar has moved after tightening, discontinue using
and contact your dealer or Minoura directly. You may need to
replace the metal ring of the Pillar Joint.
• The pillar is supported by the internal spring applying
pressure to the ceiling.
Make sure that the pillar comes in contact with a stud
or other reinforced area of the ceiling otherwise the
pressure may cause a break through on dry wall or
other non-supportive material.
•
Adjust the pillar length correctly. If the red plastic appears
beneath the Upper Rubber Cup, it means the pillar is not
adjusted properly (too short).
•
Do not install the pillar upside down.
NEVER use BikeTower horizontally. It is for vertical use
ONLY.
•
The pillar must be completely vertical, and not at any angle.
Failure to do so will cause the stand to fall.
•
The rubber cap material may leave a mark on some ceilings
or floors.
We recommend placing a small piece of fabric or paper
between the rubber cup and the ceiling. Do not use a slippery
material.
• The coating on the cradle hook may leave a mark on
your bicycle frame, especially in light colors.
We recommend wrapping a piece of bar tape on the
hook where it comes in contact with the frame.
• Depending on the bike size, you may have to change the
clamp position from the fatter Upper or Lower Pillar to the
narrower Center Pillar.
In this case, install the supplied plastic shim between the
clamp and the pillar.
• The pillar is just a single pole so it's easy to turn. Do not place
any fragile items or sharp edge articles around the pillar.
• This product is subject to change without prior notice
for quality and safety improvements.
