QUICk RELEASE, CLAMpING
LEvER FUNCTION
The rear wheels are correctly clamped
in place by the force generated when
the clamping lever is closed and the
cam action pulls the axle against the
attachment bracket, securing it in place.
The front wheel is correctly clamped
in place by the force generated when
the quick release lever is closed and
the cam action pulls the lever housing
against one dropout, and pulls the
adjusting nut against the other dropout,
clamping the hub between the
dropouts.
The tension adjusting nut sets the
amount of clamping force. Turning
the tension adjusting nut in the
clockwise direction while preventing
the quick release lever from rotating,
increases the amount of clamping
force. Alternatively, turning the tension
adjusting nut counterclockwise, while
preventing the quick release lever
from rotating, reduces the amount of
clamping force. The tension adjusting
nut only needs minor adjustments to
provide the correct clamping force, less
than a half turn can mean the difference
between safe and unsafe clamping
force.
