PEGS
Some models may come equipped with 2 or 4 pegs. To install pegs, DO NOT loosen or
remove axle nuts. Check to make sure axle nuts are properly tightened before installing
pegs. Thread the pegs on the axle over the axle nut, and insert a screwdriver or similar
tool through the peg holes and tighten by turning the peg with the tool (Fig. 3.47).
Periodically check to make sure pegs are tight.
TRAINING WHEELS
Attaching training wheel brace to bicycle
There are three different braces used to attach the training wheels to the bicycle:
the c-shape brace, the flat brace and the flat brace with stabilizer. Determine which
brace was included with your bicycle and follow the given instructions for that
particular brace.
It is very important to check the training wheel connection to the bicycle.
Failure to properly tighten may cause the training wheel to dislodge and the
rider to lose control and fall.
C-Shape Brace
Remove the outer axle nut and washer from the rear wheel axle. Place the brace
stabilizer washer onto the axle and align the washer so that the notch on the washer
fits into the rear frame drop out. Next, place the C-shaped wheel brace onto the axle
and replace the washer and axle nut. Tighten the axle nut securely, making sure that
the wheel brace stays in the proper vertical position. The elongated hole on the wheel
brace allows the training wheel height to be adjusted for proper fit (Fig. 3.48).
