5.2 Mounting the pedals
ATTENTION
Incorrectly mounted pedals!
If right and left pedals are mixed up during assembly, the crankset threads may get damaged. Riding stability can be affected
by loose pedals.
Ensure correct assignment of the right and left pedals during assembly.
Damaged crank and pedal threads!
If the pedals are difficult to screw into the thread of the crank during assembly, the threads may be getting damaged.
Check the correct assignment of the right and left pedals.
The left pedal has a left-hand thread.
To begin with, only screw the pedals into the thread by hand.
The pedals are marked R (right) and L (left) in relation to the
direction of travel. The chamfered edges indicate on which side
the pedal is installed.
y
The
R-pedal
will be installed on the side of the drivetrain.
y
The
L-pedal
will be installed on the side with
the charging port.
1. Place the according pedal to each side of the cranks.
2. Screw the pedals in. Turn in the first few threads by hand.
Mind that the L marked left pedal has a left-hand thread and
therefore needs to be screwed in counterclockwise.
y
When doing so, align the thread of the pedal with the
crank arm and do
not
tilt or skew it when screwing it in.
y
If it is difficult or impossible to screw in: Check whether the
correct pedal is selected for the pedal side. Check whether
the thread has been incorrectly set at an angle when
screwing it in.
3. When the first threads have been screwed in by hand, insert
a 6 mm hex key through the thread in the crank arm into the
pedal axle and properly tighten the pedals.
y
Resistance should only be felt at the end stop.
y
You can also use a 15 mm spanner (
not
included;
available from specialist shops and tool stores)
to tighten the pedals via the spanner flats between
pedal thread and pedal body.
