4.2 | Safety instructions

WARNING!
Risk of accident!
• The Rothewald Paddock Stand is designed solely for jacking up/raising
motorcycles, and must not be used for any other purpose.
• Before using the paddock stand, it is imperative to make sure that it is correctly
assembled and all the screw connections are properly tightened.
• If your motorcycle is fitted with bobbin threads on the swing arm, always
used compatible bobbins and the V-adapters for lifting the motorcycle. If
your motorcycle does not have bobbin threads, you should choose the set
comprising Rothewald Paddock Stand and swing-arm supports, provided your
motorcycle has a straight, conventional box-type swing arm.
• Only a two-arm box-type swing arm can be used for jacking up. The paddock
stand cannot be used on motorcycles with triangle swing arms, banana swing
arms without bobbins, or single-sided swing arms. Swing arms with a bottom
strut must have bobbins. Motorcycles with a drive shaft cannot be lifted.
• The full width of the swing arms must rest on the swing-arm supports so that
the motorcycle is supported safely and securely.
• When you use the Rothewald Paddock Stand with front wheel support, you
must always use a suitable rear paddock stand in addition.
• Be aware that the paddock stand must always be used by two persons.
• Only use the Rothewald Paddock Stand on a perfectly level surface with
sufficient load-bearing capacity (e.g. asphalt, concrete, stone). Never use it on
loose sand or soft earth because the motorcycle could slip/fall over and cause
damage or injury.
• Never put your fingers, hands or any other body parts under the vehicle whilst
it is jacked up. The same applies during the process of raising or lowering the
vehicle. Also pay attention to the safety of other persons involved. Always
make sure that there are no other persons or pets in the vicinity of the vehicle
while it is jacked up.
