Fig 5.
The rear wheels are quick release and are designed to be
removed and attached frequently. All rear wheels use
quick release axle pins to secure the wheels to the frame,
although these vary in length, they operate the same.
2.1: Removing/attaching rear wheels
Push the quick release button and pull the wheel
outwards. To install, push and hold the button and insert
the quick release axle pin into the axle until the pin clicks
into position. Ensure both wheels are fully engaged prior
to use.
2.2: Adjusting Quick release axle pin
Only adjust the quick release axle pin if the wheel does
not engage or the wheels feels loose. To adjust the length,
remove the axle pin from the wheel and by using 2 x
adjustable spanners/wrenches as per Figure 19, extend or
shorten the pin as required.
