Fixit
The Fixit includes all the tools necessary to perform basic repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. The tools and air pump are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel cables and tamperproof fasteners. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments. For help with repairs use the
Quick Read (QR) code on the front of the Fixit to view detailed instructions on your smart phone.

Fixit
Tools Needed for Installation
Hammer drill
3/8” masonry bit
Hammer
Socket Wrench
9/16” socket
Tamper-proof socket (included)
Socket extension, 6” min.
Recommended Base Materials:
Solid concrete is the best base material for installation. To ensure the proper anchors are shipped with your Air Kit, ask your representative which anchor is appropriate for your application. Be sure nothing is underneath the base material that could be damaged by drilling.
Installation
Be sure to save your tamper-resistant tools for any future maintenance.
They are costly to replace.
Reference the Fixit setback recommendations and place the upright in the desired location. Use the base as a template and drill (4) 3/8” x 3” holes in the concrete with a hammer drill and masonry bit. Clean up all concrete dust from drilling.
Decide which position the pump will be installed in and place the bottom pump flange over the corresponding wedge anchor.
Attach the top pump flange to the Fixit upright with a carriage bolt, washer, and tamper-proof nut. Tighten all wedge anchors with washers and nuts.
Reserve one of the tamper-proof nuts to secure the tools.
Hammer in the (4) wedge anchors. Leave at least
3/4” of an inch of exposed threads above the Fixit base.
Insert the tool cables into the cable slot on the
Fixit upright.

Installation Steps:
Fixit
Maintenance and Replacement
Please note: All threads for all parts of the pump are right-hand threads. They tighten clockwise, and loosen counterclockwise (“righty tighty, lefty loosey”). However, when you are looking top-town at a bolt that threads from underneath, if you move it counter-clockwise from your point of view, you are actually tightening, not loosening, the nut! This has led to some unnecessary breakage of pump parts. Be sure you are looking at the nut with the proper orientation before tightening or loosening.
Removing the Air Kit from the Fixit
1.
Remove the tamperproof nut and washer on the side of the
Fixit. Use the Penta tool supplied with the Fixit.
2.
Remove the nut and washer at the bottom of the Fixit on the anchor.
Changing the Metal Head™
Remove Metal Head™ by turning counter-clockwise.
You will need a 3/4” wrench.
Replace with new Metal Head and tighten.
If you are replacing a plastic pump head with a Metal Head™, you will need to also purchase a replacement hose.
Replacing the Tools
There are three bolts at the top of the Fixit. Underneath are two
3/8” nuts, and one penta tamper-proof nut (center bolt). These are all best removed with a socket wrench, using the extension tool to enable you to reach the nuts. Once the nuts are removed, take off the cap to replace tools.
