BikeTower10
• For standard 2 wheel bike only. Not for use with
tandems or long wheel base bicycles.
• Each bke cradle is rated to hold 25 kgs.
If mounting heavy bikes, check the bolts often to
make sure they are not loose.
• 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 the break
through dry wall or other non supportive
material.
• Adjust the pillar length correctly. If the red plastic
appears in the upper rubber cup, the pillar is
not adjusted properly (too short). Remove the
BikeTower and and extend the pillar slightly
more.
• Do not use BikeTower upside down. The larger
diameter pillar must be on the bottom.
NEVER use BikeTower horizontally. It is for
vertical use ONLY.
• The ceiling and floor must be parallel and level.
If not, it cannot hold BikeTower safely.
• The pillar must not be set at any angled.
If the pillar has been slanted, BikeTower may
become loose and fall.
• The rubber cup material may leave a mark on
some ceilings and/or floor. We recommend
placing a small piece of fabric or paper between
the rubber cup and the ceiling. Do not use slippy
Vinyl sheet.
• The hook material may stain on your bike frame,
especially in light color such as white, depending
on the top finish condition.
We recommend placing a piece of bar-tape
between the hook and the frame or wrapping
the hook with bandage in order to avoid direct
touching each other.
• The clamps for installing the bike cradles are
pre-installed on the pillar and you don't need
to remove it basically. However, if you need
to disassemble and install the clamp onto the
pillar again, carefully follow the instructions
described in page 4. Wrong clamp direction will
cause serious problem that the clamp cannot
hold the pillar properly and the bike will slide off
suddenly. It's really dangerous.
