Installing The Wheel; Opening The Rws - DT SWISS F 535 ONE User Manual

3.3 INSTALLING THE WHEEL

1. Clean and slightly grease the thru axle (RWS). The thread of the RWS and the thread in the drop-
out of the fork must be free of grease.
2. Clean the contact surfaces between the hub and the fork and check for sharp edges. If sharp
edges are present, the hub must not be used.
3. Position the wheel between the fork dropouts.
4. Push the RWS through the dropouts and hub.
FITTING THE RWS:
The RWS lever can be removed if necessary (D).
There is a setup tool (Torx T10) screwed into
the lever. Use this to remove the cover from
the upper control elements and to adjust the
compression and rebound damping.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the plug in lever is
properly installed so that it does not rattle loose
and get lost.
Always screw the T10 bit firmly back into place
in the lever assembly.
1. Turn the RWS clockwise and secure as
tightly as possible by hand (min. 15 Nm,
max. 20 Nm).
2. To check that the torque is correct, pull
off the lever (D) and tighten the RWS to
min. 15 Nm / max. 20 Nm with a torque
wrench.
3. Insert the RWS lever, raise it (A), turn it to the
required position (B) and let go (C).
4. Check to ensure the wheel is secured in the fork.

OPENING THE RWS:

1. Insert the RWS lever and turn counterclockwise until the RWS can be pulled out of the fork
dropouts.
CHECKS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Before every ride, ensure that the wheel is securely mounted in the fork. Ensure that the RWS is
tightened to at least 15 Nm.
