instructions manual
Thank you for choosing Minoura BikePit.
BikePit is a very convenient and easy-to-setup bike
storage stand that can be installed in the room
which ceiling height is between 1.7 and 3.1 meters.
BikePit comes with 2 sets of bike hanging hooks.
The bike will be hung down front the front wheel in
order to save storage space most efficiently.
You can add some more accessories by adding
optional attachment.
Read this instructions manual carefully before use
for your safety, and keep in hand for future reference.

Important Notes
• Keep the recommended tightening torque
(5 – 8 N.m) on every bolt.
• It's your duty to hold the top pillar to the ceiling
or wall by using the supplied plastic tie in order
to avoid falling down accident.
Minoura will not be responsible to any accident
caused by not using this plastic tie.
• For standard 2 wheel bike only. Not for use with
tandem bike, long wheel base bike or the bike
heavier than 25 kgs.
• Max load is totally 50 kgs. However, please be
aware that hanging on only one side is not good
for keeping balance and it may cause falling
down problem.
So the load shall be limited by 20 kgs (5 kgs less)
when using just one side.
• The pillar is supported by the internal spring
applying pressure to the ceiling.
Make sure that the pillar comes in contact with
a stud or other reinforced area of the ceiling
otherwise the pressure may cause the break
through dry wall or other non- supportive
material.
• Adjust the pillar length correctly.
If the red indicator appears in the upper rubber
cup even after setting up, it's the evidence the
pillar is not adjusted properly (too short).
Remove the pillar and extend slightly more.
• Do not use the pillar upside down. The larger
diameter pillar must be on the bottom.
Do not use the pillar horizontally.
• The ceiling and floor must be parallel and level. If
not, it cannot hold BikePit safely.
• The pillar must not be set at any angle.
If the pillar has been slanted, the pillar may
become loose and fall.
• The rubber cup material may leave a mark on
some ceilings and/or floor. We recommend
placing a small piece of fabric or paper between
the rubber cup and the ceiling.
• The pillar will turn together with bikes if it's
caught when you passing by. Keep away any
fragile items from the BikePit setting area.
