PEDAL INSPECTION
Pedals should be inspected every month, taking note of the following areas:
1. Check that the pedals are tightened securely against the crank arm. If pedals are allowed
to become loose, they will not only be dangerous to the rider but will also cause
irreparable damage to the mating threads of the cranks.
2. Check that pedal bearings are properly functioning. Move the pedals up and down, and
right to left, and also rotate them by hand. If you detect any looseness or roughness in
the pedal bearings then lubrication or replacement is required. Check your pedals to see
if adjustment is possible to correct the looseness.
3. Ensure that the front and rear pedal reflectors on each pedal are clean, not cracked, and
securely fitted.
WARNING! Never ride with loose pedals. Improperly installed or tightened pedals can work
loose, damaging the bicycle and causing possible serious injury or death to the rider.
Always wear solid, well-constructed shoes while riding
.
PEDAL ATTACHMENT - Note: The right and left pedals of a bicycle each have a different
thread and are not interchangeable. Never force a pedal into the incorrect crank arm. Check
for the right (R) and left (L) letters on each pedal bolt end. Not all crank arms are marked but
the right pedal crank arm is on the right side of the bike with a rider in normal riding position
and the left crank arm is located on the left side of the bike. Match the appropriate pedal to
each crank (right to right and left to left) for assembly. Insert the correct pedal into the crank
arm and begin to turn the thread with your fingers only. When the axle is screwed in
substantially all the way then securely tighten using a 15mm narrow open-ended wrench so
that the shoulder of the pedal spindle is securely tightened against the crank arm. If removing
a pedal, remember that the right pedal axle must be turned counter clockwise, i.e. the reverse
of when fitting.
