Answer 1

I don't recommend trying this by yourself. Get a friend to hold your bike while you practice.
--Put the kick stand down.
--Put some wood under the kick stand to straighten up the bike as much as you can while still being safe (so the bike won't tip over).
--Put the stand under your swingarm - the stand ****** so both fingers are on the swing arm, one wheel on the ground, the other up in the air.
--Push down on the stand.
--As the bike starts to straighten up, the other wheel will get closer to the ground.
--When both wheels touch the ground, while you're pushing on the stand, the bike will stand straight.
--Keep pushing until the stand is in place.
--Be careful the fingers of the stand don't spread apart and slip off the swing arm.
--To ensure the fingers don't spread, and to lock the stand to your swing arm, tie the stand's arms together with "tie downs".

Edit 3/9
--With the side stand down, put the wheel stand in position (one wheel will be on the ground, one up in the air).
--Hook a "tie down" under one of the fingers. Wrap the "tie down" up & over the swing arm and hook it on the other finger.
--This will keep the stand locked to your swing arm and prevent the arms from spreading.
--Holding onto the tail of the bike, lift it straight up & down.
--If you can in the process, put some pressure on the handle of the stand with your foot. So it won't swing up and hit the tail of your bike and it will creat a firmer stance to hold your bike up.
--Then push on the stand.

Answer 2

That stand is made so you can tilt it forward under your swingarm, put your bike straight up then with your foot push the stand down to the ground with your foot.

Answer 3

It is easy and not a big deal. I do it everyday on a similar stand.

Leave the kickstand down, get the stand in place, hold the bike up balanced with left hand, get stand in final position and push.

People lose it when they second guess it. lifting and lowering should be smooth motions. You will get it after just a few tries.
