Snap the CleatMaster tool into the existing pedals of the 

cleat fitting platform.

Engage the front edge of the right pedal with the cleat on 

the bottom of the right CleatMaster and using the heel of 

the hand, apply downward force to snap the tool into the 

right side pedal, repeat for the left side.

Step Three: Set up the cyclist's shoes.

Loosely set cleats into the cyclist's shoes:

Secure the cleats to the cyclist’s shoes by using the 

hardware and instructions supplied by the shoe/pedal 

manufacturer. (The procedure is the same for Shimano
