1. Turn the right-hand pedal arm in anti-clockwise direction and observe the
chainwheels and the sprocket assembly from above.
• The chainwheels and sprockets must not have any lateral runout.
• There must not be any foreign matter in any of the components. Remove
any such foreign matter, if easily possible.
2. Press the left-hand pedal arm towards the chain run in the position shown.
• You should not feel any bearing backlash.
• No cracking or grinding noises should be heard.
3. Inspect the chain for damage:
• The chain must not be damaged at any point, e.g. by bent chain links,
protruding chain link pins, etc. or jammed and immobile chain links.
