FRONT WHEEL
PEDALS

Flip the bike over so it’s resting on the saddle and handlebars.
Remove the small black plastic protector from the fork dropouts.
Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel and insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Insert the tab of the safety washers into the small holes on the outside of the fork dropouts
(Figure 8).
Inspect the wheel to make sure it is centered in the fork
(Figure 9)
. Tighten each axle nut a little at a time with a 15mm wrench, alternating between sides, until each axle nut is properly tightened.
Return the bike onto its wheels and align the handlebar stem to the front wheel. Once the stem is aligned to the front wheel, tighten the stem bolt located at the top of the stem
(Figure 6)

. You should be able to thread the pedal in part of the way by hand with minor
resistance. If it seems difficult and binds, stop, remove the pedal, realign the threads and try again. Be sure you are turning the right pedal axle in a clockwise direction!
Tighten the pedal with a 15mm or adjustable wrench until the pedal is securely attached to the crank arm. The pedals need to be tightened with a considerable amount of force so that they do not come

and tighten with a 15mm or adjustable wrench following the instructions in step #3 above
(Figure 12).
NOTE: Be sure to tighten both pedals with an adjustable wrench or 15mm open end wrench to the recommended torque specification
otherwise they will unscrew while riding causing an unsafe condition for the rider and damaging the threads in the crank.
