Springs should point inward towards the

Position the Hitch QR Lever so it points straight
out from the hub (open position). Tighten the
QR Nut on the opposite end of the Hitch QR
Skewer until finger tight.
Remove your existing QR skewer from your
bicycle rear wheel hub. Remove the QR nut and
one Skewer Spring from the Hitch QR Skewer.
Insert the Hitch QR Skewer making sure that
the cup washer is next to the QR Lever and
the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup is on the outside
of the bicycle frame drop out. Ensure that the
Axle Mounted Hitch Cup is oriented so that the
cup itself is below the Hitch QR Skewer and
the cup opening is facing forward.

Cup to Your Bicycle if You Have a Solid
Axle Style Hub
Note: The hitch QR skewer will not be
used with a solid axle style hub.
Move the Hitch QR Lever to the closed position.
It should take a noticeable amount of force to
close the lever (it should leave an imprint of
the lever on your palm). The Hitch QR Lever
should always be closed so that the lever
points to the rear of the bike. This will prevent
the Hitch QR Lever from catching and
