Coaster brake hub

The coaster brake hub is a rear wheel brake that
is activated when you pedal backwards. You
must practice a little to get the hang of when the
brake is triggered.

Pedals

The pedals must be fixed tightly at all times. Dur-
ing assembly and dismantling, please keep in
mind that the pedals have two types of threads.
The threads on the pedals and the treadle are
exposed to strong forces. They hold only if the
pedals are screwed tightly. The right pedal (chain
side) is marked with R at the axle end and has
right-hand threads. The left pedal is marked with
L at the axle end and has left-hand threads.
Pedal right
The right pedal must therefore be screwed in the
clockwise direction, while the left pedal must be
screwed in the opposite direction.
Caution! The improper installation of the
pedals can damage the threads in the crank
arms and make their exchange necessary
and do not constitute a case of materials
defect liability!

Foot pedals

The foot pedals are mounted with hexagon bolts
on the square attachments of the bottom bracket
axle. The stable hub of the foot pedal must be
checked regularly. Remove the safety caps and
tighten the screws located below them.

Handle bar bearing

Check:
Apply the brake for the front wheel and move
the cycle forward and backward. If there is too
much tolerance due to wear and tear, the bearing
must be adjusted without delay. The adjustment
should be done by a specialized workshop.

Spokes

The spokes expand and become loose in course
of time. They must be centred regularly according
to the degree of use. The centring of the wheel
and tightening of the spokes should be entrusted
to a specialized workshop. A uniform and proper
tightening of the spokes is necessary for a uni-
form rotation of the wheels. Loose spokes, non-
uniform spanning or overload may lead to broken
spokes.

Quick release

Quick release is found at the front and rear wheels
as well as at the seat tube clamp, depending on
the model.
Before going on a ride, check that the quick re-
lease is closed and fixed. If the front wheel clamp
gets loose when you apply the brakes, stop right
away and tighten the quick release.
The quick release lever has two positions,
CLOSE and OPEN.
First adjust the tightness with the nut M. Then
press the lever with a little force to the position
CLOSE.
