Installation Instructions
- Identify the mounting location on your bike's rear chainstay.
- Place the rubber pads onto the bike frame at the desired mounting point. These pads protect the frame and provide grip.
- Position the kickstand bracket over the rubber pads, ensuring it aligns correctly with the frame.
- Insert and tighten the screws using the provided hexagon wrenches. Ensure the kickstand is securely fastened to prevent movement. Do not overtighten.
- Before final tightening, ensure the kickstand is positioned far enough back to avoid interference with the pedals during cycling.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Kickstand Length
The kickstand's length can be adjusted to suit different bike sizes and parking angles.
- Locate the screw in the middle of the kickstand leg.
- Loosen this screw using one of the provided hexagon wrenches.
- Extend or retract the lower part of the kickstand to the desired length, between 13.4 inches (34 cm) and 15.7 inches (40 cm).
- Once the desired length is achieved, tighten the screw firmly to secure the adjustment.

Deploying and Retracting
To deploy the kickstand, push it downwards with your foot until it locks into position, supporting the bike. To retract, push it upwards until it clicks into its stored position, parallel to the bike frame.

Maintenance
- Regularly check all screws and bolts for tightness. Retighten as necessary to ensure stability and prevent loosening during use.
- Keep the kickstand clean from dirt and debris. Wipe with a damp cloth if needed.
- Inspect the rubber foot and frame pads periodically for wear and tear. Replace if damaged to maintain grip and frame protection.
- The aluminum alloy construction is water-repellent; however, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions to extend product life.
Troubleshooting
Kickstand feels loose or unstable after installation.
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened firmly. If the issue persists, verify that the rubber pads are correctly positioned and that your bike's frame shape and size are within the compatible range (oval or rectangular tube diameter 0.59-0.98 inches).
Kickstand interferes with pedals.
Re-adjust the kickstand's position on the chainstay. It should be mounted far enough back to allow full pedal rotation without contact.
Difficulty adjusting kickstand length.
Ensure the middle screw is sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust the length. If the mechanism is stiff, clean any accumulated dirt and apply a small amount of lubricant.
