5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Adjusting Height
To adjust the height of the stand, loosen the quick-release lever on the main stand's central column. Raise or lower the telescopic support pole to your desired working height (adjustable from 42.5" to 74.8"). Securely tighten the quick-release lever once the desired height is reached.

5.2 Clamping Your Bicycle
The 360° swivel clamp allows you to position your bike at any angle. Loosen the red knob on the clamp arm to rotate the clamp. Open the quick-release clamp jaws to fit your bicycle's frame tube (suitable for 1"-1.6" / 25-40 mm diameter). The rubber material on the clamp protects your bike's paint. Once the bike is in place, close the quick-release clamp and tighten the red knob to secure the bicycle firmly.
