1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Mimoke MMK-02 Bicycle Storage Rack. This rack provides a space-saving and secure solution for storing up to four bicycles in your garage or home. Its drill-free design and height-adjustable arms offer versatility and ease of use. Please read this manual carefully before assembly and operation to ensure safe and efficient use of your new bicycle rack.
2. Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum total weight capacity of 80 kg (176 lbs) for the entire rack.
- Stable Surface: Always place the rack on a flat, stable, and level surface to prevent tipping.
- Secure Bikes: Ensure all bicycles are securely placed on the support arms. Gravity holds bikes in place, but proper positioning is crucial.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the rack during assembly and when bikes are loaded to prevent accidents.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections and components for tightness and wear.
- Adjustments: Make sure to adjust the support arms to the appropriate height for each bicycle to ensure stability.

4. Setup and Assembly
The Mimoke MMK-02 rack is designed for straightforward assembly without the need for drilling or complex tools. Assembly typically takes around 30 minutes.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Assemble Base: Connect the base support components to form a stable foundation. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
- Assemble Vertical Frame: Connect the vertical frame sections. The design uses plastic caps between metal poles, secured with screws. Note that only two different screw sizes are used, simplifying the process.
- Attach Accessory Hook Plate: Slide the removable accessory hook plate onto the desired position on the vertical frame.
- Level the Rack: Once assembled, use the four leveling feet at the base to adjust the rack for optimal stability on uneven surfaces.

5. Operating Instructions
The Mimoke MMK-02 rack allows for flexible storage of various bicycle types and sizes.
- Adjusting Support Arms: To adjust the height of a bicycle support arm, simply slide it up or down the vertical frame to the desired position. Ensure the arm is level and stable before placing a bicycle on it. The arms are designed to hold securely under load.
- Placing Bicycles: Lift your bicycle and place its top tube onto the rubberized support arms. Ensure the bicycle is balanced and rests securely. The rack's gravity-based design keeps bikes upright and stable. You can store up to four bicycles, two on each side, by adjusting the arm heights appropriately.
- Using Accessory Hooks: The removable hook plate provides convenient storage for bicycle helmets, gloves, keys, or other small accessories. Simply hang items on the hooks.
- Space Optimization: The vertical storage design allows you to maximize space in your garage or home. Adjust the distance between the support arms individually to accommodate different bike sizes and types (e.g., mountain bikes, road bikes, children's bikes).

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Mimoke MMK-02 Bicycle Storage Rack, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the rack periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Arm Stability: If support arms feel loose when no weight is applied, ensure they are correctly positioned and the rubberized surface is clean. Some users have found that using cable ties can provide additional security if arms tend to shift when unloaded.
- Rubber Coating: Check the rubber coating on the support arms for any signs of wear or damage. This coating protects your bicycle frame.
7. Troubleshooting
- Rack is unstable:
- Ensure the rack is placed on a completely flat and level surface.
- Adjust the four leveling feet at the base to compensate for any unevenness.
- Verify all assembly screws are fully tightened.
- Bicycle support arms slide down:
- Ensure the arms are properly seated and the rubberized grip is clean and free of debris.
- Confirm the bicycle's weight is within the recommended limits for each arm and the overall rack.
- If arms tend to shift when unloaded, consider using a small cable tie around the arm and vertical pole for added friction, as suggested by some users.
- Difficulty during assembly:
- Refer to the illustrated instructions provided in the package.
- Ensure you are using the correct screws for each connection point.
- Do not force components; if parts do not fit, re-check the assembly steps.
