as such.
The skewer is screwed into the dropout and fixes
the hub inside the fork or into the dropouts in the
frame. The hub and the skewer may be fastened
with a quick release lever, which is operated just
like a normal quick release. Systems in which the
shaft is only inserted or screwed in and then fas-
tened with a screw also exist.
Refer to the attached component
manufacturer instructions and ask
your specialist retailer to explain the
system to you in detail.

may shift while you are riding or be-
come detached. This may damage
the pedelec or even expose the rider to se-
vere and life-threatening injuries. It is there-
fore important to take note of the following
instructions:
• Ensure that the dropouts and quick re-
lease mechanisms are clean and free of
dirt and impurities.
• Ask your specialist dealer to explain in detail
how to correctly fasten your wheel with the
quick release axle system.
• Firmly fasten the front wheel.
• Never ride your pedelec when you are not
sure if the front wheel has been appropriately
fastened and cannot come loose.

Installation
Place the wheel in the dropouts. The hub must
be firmly pushed into the dropout. Close the at-
tachment mechanism.
For vehicles with disc brakes, ensure that the
brake disk is properly inserted into the calliper.
Ensure that neither the brake disk nor the hub or
the brake disk fastening screws rub against the
lower parts of the fork.
If you do not know how to adjust
your pedelec's disc brakes, read the
instructions provided by your brake
manufacturer.

Installing the pedals
If your pedelec was supplied without the pedals
pre-installed, these have to be attached with the
correct spanner or wrench. Please note that the
pedals have to be screwed in in different direc-
tions and secured with a high mounting torque
(see page 39). Coat both threads with assem-
bly lubricant.
Forwards
For assembly and handling of clip-in
pedals and flat pedals, please read
the manufacturer's assembly and
operating manual.
Read the attached instructions of
the
component
manufacturers
when using pedals with clips and
straps. Practice taking your feet in and out of
the hooks and operating the strap releases
in a safe place. Tightened straps do NOT
release the feet! This can result in falls and
injury.

Ensure that you have read the man-

magnetic or clipless pedals.
