The swing arms must not be positioned at a pronounced angle on the motorcycle. To prevent
damage to the paddock stand and your motorcycle, do not place axles, wheel adjustment
components, shock mounts or other projecting parts of your motorcycle on the swing-arm supports.
Place the paddock stand with the supports against the rear third of the swing arms so that they rest
securely over their entire width, but the raised vehicle does not slip off the supports.
Before you jack up the motorcycle, check once again that the Rothewald Paddock Stand has been
assembled properly, and that your assistant is holding the motorcycle securely in position. Secure
the supports with the star grips. Then grip the front end of the paddock stand and push it forcefully,
but slowly and steadily, under the motorcycle until it rests on the stand.
6.3 | Use with V adapters for bobbins
First check that the swing arm is fitted with bobbins that are suitable for the Rothewald Paddock
Stand and that they are securely screwed in. If your motorcycle does not have bobbins, you will need
to purchase a set and install them in the internal threads on the swing arm.
Check the thread sizes.
To prevent damage to the paddock stand and to your motorcycle, you must not use axles, wheel
adjustment components, shock absorber mounts or other projecting parts of your motorcycle as
supports.
Adjust the V adapters on the paddock stand to the width of the rear wheel swing arm. To do this, a
second person must hold the vehicle firmly to keep it upright. Bring the paddock stand with fitted
V adapters up to your motorcycle from the rear and adjust the V adapters so that they engage the
bobbins precisely.
Before you jack up your motorcycle, check once again that the Rothewald Paddock Stand has been
assembled properly, and that your assistant is holding the motorcycle securely in position. Secure
the supports with the star grips. Now position the Rothewald Paddock Stand with fitted V adapters
so that the bobbins sit fully in the adapters. Then push the paddock stand firmly, but slowly and
steadily, by the connection tube under the vehicle until it rests on the Rothewald Paddock Stand.
6.4 | Lowering
You must also be very careful when lowering your motorcycle. A second person makes sure that
the vehicle is first held in an upright position after lowering, and is then parked securely on the side
stand.
If the motorcycle is on a stand at the front and back, lower the front wheel first.
Pull the paddock stand slowly and evenly upwards by the connection tube until the wheel is in
contact with the floor again.
