CAUTION:
Attempting to screw the left pedal into the right crank arm (or visa
versa) will damage the internal threads of the crank arm. This damage is not
‘fixable’. The crank arm will have to be replaced.
WARNING: An improperly installed pedal may fall off the bike while the
bike is in use. This situation may cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death, and property damage. Insure that your pedals are properly
installed and tight before each ride.
Note: We have placed a small label on each crank arm to assist in making sure
that you install each pedal on the correct side. Obviously “R” denotes “Right”,
while “L” denotes “Left”. Also note that there is an “R” stamped on the spindle
of the right-hand pedal, and there is an “L” stamped on the left-hand pedal.
Please insure that you install the right pedal on the right-hand side, and the left
pedal on the ‘left hand side.
Prior to installing each pedal, lightly coat the threads of the pedal axle with light grease.
This will make screwing the pedal into the crank arm a little easier, and will help prevent
corrosion in the future.
When installing the “Right” pedal, screw the threaded section of the pedal spindle into
the crank arm turning the spindle in a CLOCKWISE direction.
When installing the “Left” pedal, screw the threaded section of the pedal spindle into the
crank arm turning the spindle in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction.
Screw each pedal as far as you can into the crank arm with your fingers. Securely tighten
the pedals with a 17mm open end wrench.
