5. Operating Instructions
To safely lift your motorcycle using the Geko G02172 stand:
- Position Motorcycle: Park your motorcycle on a flat, level surface. Ensure the motorcycle is in neutral and the side stand is deployed for initial stability.
- Adjust Stand Width: Adjust the width of the stand's support arms to align perfectly with the lifting points on your motorcycle's swingarm or frame. The lifting pads should make full contact.
- Position Stand: Roll the stand into position behind the motorcycle's rear wheel (for a rear stand) or under the front forks (for a front stand, if applicable). The lifting pads should be directly under the motorcycle's lifting points.
- Lift Motorcycle: While holding the motorcycle stable with one hand, firmly push down on the stand's handle with the other hand. The stand will pivot, lifting the motorcycle's wheel off the ground. Ensure the motorcycle is balanced and stable on the stand.
- Lower Motorcycle: To lower the motorcycle, firmly hold the motorcycle stable, then gently lift the stand's handle, allowing the motorcycle to slowly descend until its wheel is back on the ground. Remove the stand.
Always exercise caution and ensure the motorcycle is stable throughout the lifting and lowering process. It is recommended to have assistance for the first few uses.

- Lubrication: Apply a light lubricant to the wheel axles and pivot points annually or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the stand in a dry, clean environment when not in use to prevent rust and damage.
