Attach The Pedals - Schwinn S-14 Cruiser Owner's Manual

ATTACH THE PEDALS

WARNING!
• Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm can strip
pedal threads and cause irreparable damage. Visually
match the R and L stickers on the pedal and crank arm
before attaching the pedals. Before your first ride, please
check to ensure your pedals are attached correctly.
• It is very important that you check the crank set for correct
adjustment and tightness before riding your bicycle.
❶ Match the pedal marked R with the right-hand crank arm
and match the pedal marked L with the left-hand crank arm.

❷ Place the threaded pedal into the threaded hole on the
crank arm.
❸ By hand, slowly turn the spindle the correct direction.
Clockwise for right side pedal, counterclockwise for left side
pedal. Important! Stop if you feel resistance! This may be
an indication the spindle is entering the hole at an
angle. Remove the spindle and repeat step two and three.
❹ If the spindle is entering the hole cleanly then use a 15 mm
wrench or pliers to tighten completely.
❺ Repeat steps 1- 4 for the remaining pedal.
