Though axle with allen key for adjustment
Again turn the Allen Key in a clockwise direction
and again check the lever tension. Repeat the
process until the lever tension is sufficient.
Do not use any other tools to fasten the axle
to the lower part of the fork. The axle and/or the
lower part of the fork may be damaged when the
axle is excessively tightened.
The quick-release fastener may not
be readjusted or turned after closing.
Turning the quick-release fastener
may loosen the axle and have a detrimental
effect on driving safety. This may lead to se-
vere or lethal injuries.
Removal
1. Open the quick-release lever and place it into
the slot in the axle flange.
2. Turn the quick-release lever in an anti-clock-
wise direction until the axle exits from the
thread of the dropout and then pull the axle out
of the hub.
The basic function is the same when your bicycle
is equipped with a Fox fork. The quick-release
axle is then inserted into the fork from the left
side.

Check that all quick-release fasteners
and quick-releases axles are firmly at-
tached, even when your bicycle only
remained unsupervised for a short time. You
may only start driving when all quick-release
fasteners are firmly closed.
Installing pedals
If you bicycle was supplied without the pedals
pre-installed, these have to be attached with the
correct wrench. Please note that the pedals have
to be screwed in in different directions and se-
cured with a high mounting torque (see page 37).
Apply assembly grease to both threads.
fork
Please read the enclosed instructions
from the respective manufacturer if
you use pedals feature hook or strap
systems. Practice taking your feet in and out
of the hooks and operating the strap releases
in a safe place. Tightened straps do NOT re-
lease the feet!
Possible consequences are falling and in-
juries.
