Prior to lifting make sure the ABS Sensor and Wire are clear of the lift points where the wheel stand will contact the fork legs indicated by the green arrow.
Insert tire in the correct orientation in between the fork legs
Work the brake disks and ABS ring into position without damaging the disks, ring or fork legs. (Not difficult to do just need to go slow and be carefull)
Once the hub center is in line to the axle placement, lift the wheel up to meet the axle as it is being passed thru the left (Throttle) side fork leg - Green Arrow
Manually turn the axle to ensure proper thread engagement
Tighten the axle until hand tight and this will be enough to support the wheel assembly and the bike so that you can torque the axle to spec after the bike is lowered off the stand.
