4.3. Drill Holes and Install Anchors

Drill holes at the marked points using a drill bit appropriate for your chosen mounting hardware and wall type. Insert wall anchors if necessary (e.g., for drywall or hollow walls).

4.4. Mount the Main Rack Unit

Align the rack with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using appropriate screws. Tighten all screws firmly, but do not overtighten.

4.5. Install the Lower Wheel Support

Position the lower wheel support bracket directly below the main rack unit, ensuring it aligns with where the bicycle's rear wheel will rest. Mark drilling points, drill holes, and secure the bracket to the wall.

4.6. Adjust Height (5-Stage Adjustment)

The main rack unit features a 5-stage height adjustment mechanism. This allows you to customize the rack's height to accommodate different bicycle sizes and wheel diameters (508mm-737mm) and tire widths (53mm-71mm). Adjust the height by releasing the locking mechanism, sliding the arm to the desired position, and re-engaging the lock.
