Using the Topeak Workstand PrepStand X is easy. First, unfold it using the three QR clamps. Adjust the height of the holder to a comfortable level between 85 cm and 145 cm according to your needs. Then, place your bike's fork into the holder. Make sure it fits well, whether it's a quick - release fork or a thru - axle fork with the compatible sizes. You can rotate the stand 360° to work on different sides of your bike, and adjust the fore - and - aft position for better stability. The 90° up/down angle adjustment can also be useful for getting the right working angle. When you're done, fold it up for easy storage. As for maintenance, keep it clean. Wipe it down after each use to remove dirt and debris. Check the QR clamps regularly to ensure they're tight. If you use the optional tool tray or carry bag, clean them too. Be careful not to overload the stand; the maximum load it can handle is 18 kg. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the aluminum parts.
