WARNING: Failure to obey these steps can allow the front wheel to loosen while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.

CAUTION: Operate the quick release lever by hand only. Do not use a hammer or any other tool to tighten the quick release lever.

5. Adjust and tighten the quick release mechanism:

WARNING: Do not tighten the quick release mechanism by turning the lever in a circular motion. This causes the clamping force to be too light.

You must use strong force to move the quick release lever to the “close” position. If you can easily move the lever to the “close” position, the clamping force is too light.

If the clamping force of the quick release mechanism is too light, the front wheel can loosen while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.

-If the fork of your bicycle has a wheel retainer attached, move the wheel retainer so it is under the adjusting nut or quick release lever

-Open and close the quick release lever with one hand while you turn the adjusting nut with the other hand

-Tighten or loosen the adjusting nut by hand, so that

you first feel resistance to the quick release lever when it is parallel with the axle

-Put the wheel in the center of the fork and with strong force, push the cam lever to the “close” position [5]

-When in the “close” position, make sure the quick release lever lays along the fork

-Make sure the both the adjusting nut and the opposite end of the quick release mechanism make marks in the fork

-If they do not mark the fork, do Step 5 again, but tighten the adjusting nut tighter than before

-The tightening torque of the quick release lever should be between 43 and 65 in.-lbs.
