To set-up your RS-4000, follow these steps. 1 Loosen the Lower Quick Release Skewer and raise up the Upper Frame to open the Leg with sliding down the Lower Bracket until it touches the Frame Stopper. A) ! When you open the Leg, be sure you place your hand away from the area where the Lower Bracket comes down to prevent from the problem of pinching your hand or finger by the bracket or the Reinforcement Bar. [. . . ] K) Also the inside edge of the Clamp Jaws may be sharp and you may cut your finger there. K) ! If the Clamp Jaws is not fully inserted, you can see the Clamp Jaws lies down slightly. This means the clamp cannot hold the weight of the bike enough and it may be broken or cause an accident, so you must make sure if the Clamp Jaws is set perfectly. L) HOW TO CLAMP YOUR BIKE ON THE RS-4000 1 Place the RS-4000 on flat and horizontal floor or the ground. N) 2 To adjust the angle of the Clamp Jaws, loosen the Clamp Knob a few turns, push the Clutch Release Lever and rotate the Clamp Jaws. O) When you complete at your desired angle, release the Clutch Release Lever with confirming the edge of the lever is fully bitten by the teeth of the Clutch, then tighten the Clamp Knob again firmly. (Fig. P) ! When you operate the Clamp Lever, be careful not to pinch your finger between the Clamp Lever and the Clamp Jaws. Q) -4- 4 To adjust the Clamp Jaws, turn the small Knob on the Clamp Lever. If you turn the knob in the direction of the counter-clockwise, the jaws will open wider. If you turn the knob in the direction of clockwise, the jaws will be narrower.

T) If you feel no resistance when the jaws areshut your bike is not clamped correctly. Turn the Knob on the Clamp Lever clockwise to make the clearance between the jaws narrower until you feel some resistance before clamping the jaws fully. T) ! Do not turn the knob on the clamp lever for adjusting the jaws AFTER you have shut the jaws. Adjusting the jaws step must be done BEFORE shutting the jaws. !
