PEDALS
5
Right Pedal:
Locate the pedal stamped “R” on the end of the axle (this is the RIGHT pedal)
(Fig. 13)
.
RECOMMENDED:
Apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads before installation.
Carefully insert the Right pedal into the Right side crank arm (the side with the chain) and thread it Clockwise
(Fig.14)
. You should be able to thread the pedal in part of the way by hand with minor resistance.
If it seems difficult and binds, stop, remove the pedal, realign the threads and try again. Be sure you are turning the Right pedal axle in a Clockwise direction!
Tighten the pedal with a 15mm or adjustable wrench until the pedal is securely attached to the crank arm. The pedals need to be tightened with a considerable amount of force so that they do not come loose.
Left Pedal:
Locate the pedal stamped “L” on the end of the axle (this is the LEFT pedal)
(Fig.13)
.
RECOMMENDED:
Apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads, then insert the Left pedal into the Left side crank arm..
IMPORTANT:
Thread it counterclockwise and tighten with a 15mm or adjustable wrench following the instructions in step #3 above
(Fig. 15)
NOTE: Be sure to tighten both pedals with an adjustable wrench or 15mm open end wrench to the recommended torque specification otherwise they will unscrew while riding causing an unsafe
condition for the rider and damaging the threads in the crank.
