!
You can leave the clamp lever in either open or close position when turning the knob counter-
clockwise.
However, if you have turned the knob too much, the inside link goes beyond the limit, and then you
will suffer a problem that you cannot open/close the jaws by lever action or you cannot move the
lever itself at all.
This is not a defect. You can fix thsi problem by turning back the knob clockwise.
!
Do not try to clamp the bike by just pulling up the clamp lever after adjusting the jaws opening a
little smaller than actual bike frame diameter (it's the way on the previous model).
This should cause damage to the clamp lever, and may give serious damage to your bike frame
due to too stong power by link system.
You MUST close the jaws by turning the yellow knob clockwise.
How To Use Lock Release Hook
In the case you need to clamp the angled seat-post instead
of horizontal top-tube, you should adjust the clamp angle
prior to action.
The clamp angle is adjustable in 15 degree increments.
But the seat post angle should stay towards the middle.
You can also keep the clamp rotation free by engaging the
Lock Release Hook.

bracket cannot be performed while the

It is strongly advised that the bike be set on
the ground to perform such maintenance.
