STEP 5: PEDALS
Right Pedal
Locate the pedal stamped “
R
” on the end of the spindle (this is the
RIGHT
pedal)
(Fig. 12)
.
RECOMMENDED
; Apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads prior to installation.
Carefully insert the Right pedal into the Right side crank arm (the side with the chain) and thread it
Clockwise
(Fig. 13)
. 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
loo se.
Left Pedal
Locate the pedal stamped “
L
” on the end of the spindle (this is the
LEFT
pedal)
(Fig. 12)
.
RECOMMENDED; apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads and insert your Left pedal into the Left side crank arm.
Thread it
Counterclockwise
and tighten with a 15mm or adjustable wrench following the instructions in step #3 above
(Figure 14).
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.
