MOUNTING THE PEDALS
For it to work safely, the pedal axle must be xed rmly into the thread
of the crank arms.
Replace damaged pedals in any case.
Start screwing in each pedal axle by hand so as not to damage the
thread of the crank arm.
1. Search for the letters “R” or “L” printed on the pedal’s axle.
2. Screw in the pedal marked “R” on the right crank arm (the same side
as the sprockets). Then turn the axle clockwise. Tighten rmly with
an open-end wrench of 15 mm.
3. Screw in the pedal marked “L” on the left side of the bicycle. Turn
the pedal’s axle anti-clockwise and tighten rmly with the open-end
wrench.
Make sure that each pedal is properly tightened. It is important to
wear the right footwear for riding your bicycle.
