Mounting the bike on the stand – Elite Real AXIOM User Manual

Page 16

Before fitting the unit make sure that the stand
is perfectly positioned on the floor, completely
opened, and that the support plate is horizontal.
TAKE CARE, AS THE UNIT IS VERY HEAVY AND
COULD CAUSE THE STAND TO CLOSE.

MOUNTING THE BIKE ON THE STAND

First of all, completely lower the unit 2, by
loosening the stand adjustment screw. If the
handle 5 is locked, move the lock ring toward the
handle as shown in illustration 5.
Adjust the space between the bushings by turning
the handle, anti-clockwise as far as it will go.
Make sure that the rear wheel QR skewer is well
tightened. To have a safe locking of the bicycle
on the stand, make sure that the left support
cup (where the quick release lever is blocked) is
positioned with the undercutting facing upwards
(see ill. 7)
Place the bike on the stand by fitting the
left-hand side of the rear QR skewer into
the left-hand side bushing of the stand 1.
Turn the handle 5, to tighten the right-
hand support of the hub housing until the
right-hand bushing touches the right-hand
end of the QR skewer. Then rotate the
handle 5 by about half a turn in order to
lock the bike to the stand.
Lock the handle by moving the lock ring
towards the stand (illustration 6). When
the ring is in this position, the handle can
no longer turn.
Check the stability of the bike by pulling
and pushing the top tube of the frame and
the saddle.
If the bike is unstable, make sure that the

QR skewer and its lever are correctly positioned
and that the lock pin is well tightened. If the
quick-release device is not compatible with the
bushings, it needs to be substituted with one that
is compatible.
Tighten the adjustment screw on the support plate
until the roller touches the wheel.
Then rotate the adjustment screw by three turns
in order to obtain the correct pressure of the roller
on the wheel. If the wheel slips while you are
pedalling, rotate the adjustment screw by another
complete turn.
Illustration 8 shows the correct position of the
bike mounted to the stand.
