1) Extend pillar, 2) Adjust pillar length, then 3) Install in room.
Loosen the upper bolt, extend Top Pillar, attach to
both ceiling and floor to measure the length, then
tighten the bolt temporally to keep the pillar size.
Remove the pillar and lay down on the floor.
Loosen the upper bolt again and extend Top Pillar
20mm
more, then tighten the bolt firmly (5 – 8 N.m).
That is the correct pillar length.

If you see red plastic part in the upper rubber cup when you setup
BikeTower, it's the warning sign that the pillar is not extended
enough. Remove from the ceiling, adjust the pillar length properly,
and try to install again.

To avoid any chance of
the pillar falling, hold Top
Pillar to the ceiling or the
wall by using the supplied
plastic tie. It's not just
a recommendation, but
your duty.
Wrap the tie around the
pillar just beneath the top
rubber cup and wring it,
put the screw in the hole
on the tip of the tie, then
screw it to the ceiling or
wall.
Make sure the screwing
area is reinforced solidly.
Just the panel will not
work.
