How to Operate

Step-by-step operating instructions: attach the bungee to stabilize the front wheel; pull down the EZ coiler; attach the harness to the bike; pull the release cord; push down slightly on your bike to release the lifting mechanism; smoothly guide your bike up to the ceiling, or stop the ascent by pulling down a short distance to your desired height.

Installing Your Kradl

Mount Kradl to your ceiling using the two provided lag screws. Then install the metal docking arm into the main unit.  Now you are ready to watch the Setting Up Your Kradl video below for the important next steps.

Setting Up Your Kradl (Required)

Perform these procedures after mounting your Kradl to the ceiling. Using a water bucket or another weight will allow you to unspool the cable to bring the harness down to the height of your bike's crossbar for the first time.
