1.
Check that the crank arms are opposite each other 180 degrees (reference 1). If the crank arms are not inline and
opposite each other, reorient the crank arms. Refer to the "Replace the Crank Arms" section of the
manual [10978.A].
2.
Check if the crank arms can be rotated by hand. Applying weight to the raised foot pedal can help with pedals that
have bottomed out [10978.B].
3.
Remove the lower right fan shroud. Watch the video below or follow the instructions starting in the next step.
