If your chain got tangled during shipping, see how to
detangle it at: rockthebike.com/troubleshooting-tips.
2. The Generator Wheel has an axle with flat sides and toothed
washers. Rotate the wheel until the flats align with the wheel
mounting slots, and the output wire faces forward. Loosen
the nuts to the end of the axle by rotating them counter-
clockwise, then move the tooth washers out to the nuts.
1. Place the Generator Wheel inside the frame behind the wheel
mounting slots. With the wheel’s cog on the same side as the
chain ring, loop the chain over the chain ring and the cog (a).

3. The Generator wheel is heavy, so it helps to have a friend for
this step. Noting the position of the anti-rotate washers (b),
lift the wheel and slide the axle into the wheel mounting slots.
Pull the wheel towards you and while holding the chain taught,
adjust the wheel so it is straight and aligned with frame (c).
Firmly hold the wheel in position and have a friend tighten the
axle nuts with a wrench. People will be pedaling hard, so push
down to tighten them hard.
4. Check chain tension by rotating the pedals backwards a few
turns. If there is a tight spot in the rotation, loosen the skewer
and move the wheel backwards so the chain is taught as
possible without causing a tight spot in the rotation. If the
chain is loose and sagging, loosen the nuts and pull the
wheel forward.
