4. Maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
Wheel Inspection: Check the wheels for smooth rotation and ensure the locks function correctly. Clean any debris from the casters.
Storage: Store the stand in a dry environment to prevent rust, especially if used outdoors. The powder-coated steel is rust-resistant but prolonged exposure to moisture can affect it.

5. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Stand is unstable or tips easily.	Bike not properly secured; stand on uneven surface; weight capacity exceeded.	Ensure bike is centered and secured with straps. Move stand to a level surface. Verify bike weight is within 80 lbs limit.

Bike does not fit the stand.	Tire width/diameter incompatible; bike has vintage-style rear mudguards.	Check tire width (max 4 inches) and diameter (20-29 inches). The stand is not compatible with bikes featuring vintage-style rear mudguards.
