INSTALLING THE PEDALS
Locate the right pedal (marked with the letter R) and left pedal (marked with the letter L).
Install the right pedal (R) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank
arm on the right side of the bike and screwing it clockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until it
is tightened using a 15mm fixed wrench.
Install the left pedal (L) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank
arm on the left side of the bike and screwing it anticlockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until
it is tightened using a 15mm fixed wrench.
Regularly inspect and check the correct tightening of the various bolted parts, fixing screws,
quick-clamping mechanisms (quick-release) and through-axles, and also perform a general check
to make sure that all parts are as expected.
The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to
be periodically checked and tightened.
The values of the recommended tightening torques for fastening the specific components present
on the product can be identified in correspondence with the relative elements.
A correct tightening torque (screws, bolts, nuts) is essential for safety. If not enough force is
applied, the seal is not ensured. An excessive force can damage the threads or cause elongation,
deformation or breakage of the fixing device. In both cases, a wrong tightening torque can cause
losses of control and falls.
Where indicated, check that every screw is tightened to the specified torque.
After the first use, and then in a regular manner, recheck the tightening of each screw in order to
ensure a safe fixing of components.
