General Safety Instructions

During all tasks involving the KetLift4Bike, please observe the following general safety instructions:

Risk of electric shock from damaged live electrical components. (Only applies to electric variant!)

• Do not carry out any work if the electrical components are damaged. Risk of electrical hazard from liquids entering the bicycle repair stand. (Only applies to electric variant!)

• Avoid liquids from entering the inside of the bicycle repair stand. Risk of entanglement, catching, or grabbing due to the rotating spindle drive system.

• Do not touch moving parts during operation.

• Pay attention to the stability of the bicycle repair stand.

Risk of pinching and impact injuries from lifting motion.

• Ensure no persons or objects are within the danger zone of the bicycle repair stand. Risk of breakage from incorrect assembly or failure to observe the allowed operating data.

• Follow all safety instructions and information in this manual during assembly, commissioning, and operation.

Risk of a falling bicycle due to incorrect mounting.

• Follow all instructions for safely securing the bicycle to the bicycle repair stand.

Risk of cuts from dangerous surfaces.

• Wear appropriate protective gloves.

Trip and fall hazards from the base plate and transport rollers.

• Watch out for tripping hazards due to the edge of the base plate and transport rollers.

(Only applies to electric variant!) In dangerous situations, immediately press the emergency stop button by pressing the red actuator. After pressing the emergency stop button, the bicycle repair stand will be electrically released, and all movements will be safely stopped. Before resetting the emergency stop button, the cause of the danger situation must be eliminated. To reset the emergency stop button, turn the actuator to the left or right until it springs back.

(Only applies to electric variant!) Avoid getting liquids into the housing, electrical components, or accessory sockets while cleaning a bicycle on the repair stand. Avoid cleaning with high pressure, e.g., using a hose or pressure washer. The guiding and spindle drive system, as well as accessory sockets, hand switches, or foot switches, can be damaged by penetrating liquids. If liquids enter electrical components, there is a risk of electrical short circuits or malfunctions.

When using the bicycle repair stand with a base plate without additional fastening, the stability factor is > 2. To improve stability, secure the base plate with the included anchor bolts. Ensure proper assembly. When working on the bicycle at the highest position, do not apply more than 10 kg of pressure/tension to the bicycle to prevent tipping over of the repair stand.

Intended Use

The electrically operated bicycle repair stand is designed to lift and lower bicycles weighing up to 50 kg using its integrated motorized spindle drive system. The manual variant can be operated with an appropriate cordless screwdriver. The fastening clamps and holders offered as accessories are approved for safe use by the manufacturer. Other accessories may be used at the user's own risk and responsibility. The company Ketterer is not liable for property damage, personal injury, or any consequential damages resulting from foreseeable misuse.
