NOTE: A Pedal Wrench is preferred for attaching Ped-
als. A thin open-end
wrench can also be used.
• The pedal marked

has right-hand threads.
Tighten it in a clockwise direction.
• The pedal marked
L
has left-hand threads. Tighten
it in a counterclockwise direction (anti-clockwise).
• Turn the right pedal marked

the crank arm, and the left pedal marked
L
into the
left side of the crank arm.
Tighten the pedals:
• Make sure the threads of each pedal are fully into
the crank arm.

WARNING: Ensure pedals are secure in crank
arms so they will not loosen. Periodically check tight-
ness.

bicycle service shop.
Frequently check the tightness of the
crank arms. If loose, tighten or have
them tightened by a bicycle service
shop.
