How to operate quick‐release levers:
• Step 1: Close Lever (figure Q1). If lever
closes very easily (less than 12 pounds or
53 Newton) it indicates that it is loose. If
lever is very hard to close completely
(more than 45 pounds or 200 Newton),
don’t force it and go to step two.
• Step 2: Open lever. If lever was too
loose, tighten nut. If lever was too hard
to close, loosen nut. Close lever again.
• Step 3: Repeat step 2 until lever is firmly
closed and can’t move. Do NOT turn
lever like a wing‐nut to close as this will
not close it firmly.

WARNING! Quick release levers must be closed in such a position so that the lever won’t be accidentally hit while
riding causing it to open. If quick release lever is not closed safely, components of the bike can loosen while riding
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING! Before each ride make sure that the front wheel is installed safely using the quick release system. Lift the
wheel and hit it from above with your hand to make sure that it won't move and that it is stably installed into the fork.
When trying to move the wheel by hand from left to right, the wheel must not move. Refer to guide how to operate
quick release levers. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
