Adjust the angled universal adapters on the Rothewald 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
supports up to the motorcycle's swing arms from the rear, and adjust the adapters so that they fit
fully under both swing arms. The full width of the swing arms must rest on the supports so that the
motorcycle is held securely.
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. Lock the
supports with the tommy screws. 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 | Using the paddock stand 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 mounts or other projecting parts of your motorcycle as supports.
Adjust the V-adapters on the Rothewald 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 Rothewald 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. Lock the
supports with the tommy screws. Now position the Rothewald Paddock Stand with fitted V-adapters
so that the bobbins sit fully in the adapters. Then grip the front end of the paddock stand and push it
forcefully, but slowly and steadily, under the motorcycle until it is resting on the Rothewald Paddock
Stand.
