Move the quick release lever to the OPEN position and set the wheel so it firmly touches the 1.
interior of the fork end (See sketch below).
Open and close the quick release lever with your right hand while gradually tightening the adjust- 2.
ing nut (located on the opposite side of the hub) with your left hand in the clockwise direction.
Continue tightening the nut until you feel resistance with your hand at the point when the lever is
parallel to the hub (as indicated by the dotted position in the diagram on the right).
Grip the fork with your fingers and use the palm of your hand to close the quick release lever with 3.
as much strength as possible. When closed, the quick release lever must be in the “CLOSE” posi-
tion shown below in the diagram on the right. The side of the lever with the inscription “CLOSE”
must be facing away from the wheel, and the lever should be parallel to the fork as shown below
in the diagram on the left.
Notes
If the quick release lever can be easily pushed to the CLOSE position, this means the clamping
strength is insufficient. Return the quick release lever to the position perpendicular to the bicycle
frame and again turn the adjusting nut clockwise to increase the clamping strength. Push the quick
release lever back to the CLOSE position.
If the clamping strength is adjusted too strong and the quick release lever cannot be pushed to
the CLOSE position, turn the adjusting nut in a counter-clockwise direction to reduce the clamping
strength. When doing this, do not fully release the adjuster nut. Turn it 1/8 of a revolution, and then
try to push the lever to CLOSE, to set the maximum clamping strength with which you can push the
quick release lever to the CLOSE position.
Positioning of the quick release lever
For safety, the quick release lever should be along the bicycle frame when in the CLOSE position.
