ASSEMBLY

1. Insert the adjustable axle support into the body of the stand as shown. To do this, simply raise the handle as far as possible and slowly lower the support into the body with the teeth facing away from the handle.
2. To prevent the support from coming out off the stand each time the stand is picked up by the support, the tab (Fig. 1 Inset) requires reforming. This can be carried out as follows.
   • Lay the axle stand on a firm surface with the tab facing upwards.
   • Insert a suitable flat bladed screwdriver into the aperture as shown in Fig.2. Carefully apply a firm downwards pressure, bending the tab inwards.
   • Only bend the tab sufficiently to act as a stop for the support.
3. If the tab requires further bending use an open ended spanner (13mm approx) as shown in Fig. 3.
4. Again push down on the spanner until the tab is sufficiently formed.
5. The axle stand is now complete and ready to be used.
   NOTE: When forming the tab, DO NOT OVERBEND it, bending the tab too much could cause it to foul the axle support and prevent it from functioning correctly.
