INFORMATION NOTE:
Most quick release levers are marked “open”
(unlocked) and
“closed” (locked) so look for these markings.
You can adjust
the locking strength, by turning the adjusting nut or the quick
release lever. When the nut or the lever is turned in a
clockwise direction, the locking strength increases, and when
the nut or the lever is turned in a counter-clockwise direction,
the locking strength decreases.

STEP 4. With the wheel centered in the
fork, adjust the quick release by holding
both ends (nut and quick release lever), and
turning either end clockwise, until, when
you close the lever about halfway, you feel
some resistance. At this point, try to lock
(close) the quick release by flipping the
lever to the locked position. IMAGE (C). The
adjustment is correct when you can fully
flip the lever 180 degrees, but with some
effort. You should see an indentation in
your hand that lasts 4 to 8 seconds after
flipping the quick release lever, this is a
sign it should be tight enough. If you can
only close the lever half way, flip the quick
release lever to the unlocked (open)
position again, slightly unscrew one of the
ends counter clockwise, re adjust and try
again.

STEP 5. After the quick release has been
properly installed, owner/user must further
test the correct installation by trying to flip
the quick release lever to the unlocked (open)
position.
If it resists, it’s tight and safe. If it
opens with only a little effort,
it’s not tight
enough. If it is not tight enough repeat the
process in step 4. It might take a couple of
tries before getting the final proper
adjustment of the quick release.
