20 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
Before mounting the pedals, check the marking on
the pedal axles first. "R" stands for right pedal and "L"
for left pedal. Note that the left pedal has a left-hand-
ed thread that has to be tightened contrary to the
direction you are accustomed to, i.e. anticlockwise.
Apply a little grease on the pedal threads before
screwing in the pedals.
Read up on the road traffic regulations in
!
the country where you use the mountain
bike.
Screw each pedal manually into the thread of its
crank by two to three full turns.
Continue by using a pedal spanner to tighten the ped-
als firmly.
Check the reliable fit of the pedals after
about 100 km (60 miles). Pedals can come
loose, and this can destroy the thread and throw
the rider off his bike. Also check the reliable fit of
the other bolts according to the prescribed tight-
ening torques.
HOW TO INFLATE THE SUSPENSION FORk
Before transport the suspension fork was completely
deflated. The suspension fork has to be filled with the
proper air pressure.
Remove the cap of your suspension fork.
Inflate the suspension fork with the special pump en-
closed with the BikeGuard, according to the recom-
mendations on the spring rate of the fork manufac-
turer. Read up on suspension forks in chapter "The
suspension fork".
Improperly adjusted suspension forks are
liable to malfunction or damage to the sus-
pension fork.
You will find the operating instructions of
i
the fork manufacturer on the enclosed CD.
Read them thoroughly before inflating the sus-
pension fork!
