MANUFACTURER'S

RECOMMENDATION

matter

whomade

thedevice,

always

follow,

and

instruct

your

customers

follow,

theadvice

given

inowner's

manuals

regarding

its

products.Most

axles

will,

however,

operate

safely

and

securely

under

the

below

guidelines.

EMBOSSING

THE

ENDS

When

properly

tightened,

the

metalof

the

device

should

emboss

(make

visible

impression

in)thealuminum.

C.CURVED

LEVERS

-Almost

allQR

devices

havecurved

leversand

theconcave

side

should

face

thebicycle

when

itisinthe

closed

position.

TIGHTENING

THE

DEVICE

With

the

lever

intheopen

position,

tighten

the

cone-shaped

nutat

theopposite

end

that

when

moving

the

TIGHTENING

F.RELEASING

FORCES

Although

the

release

called

quick,

opening

should

notbe

too

easy.

The

lever

must

not

release

until

least

12lbs.of

forceare

applied.

Open

the

lever

and

tighten

thecone-shaped

bolt

some

Repeat

the

process

until

MEASURING

When

you'll

Remember:

The

lever

requires

FINAL

CHECKS

-While

the

the

lever

has

littleimportance

aero-

dynamically,

itshould

carefully

placed

toavoid

interfering

with

other

parts

accessories

with

the

operation

ofthe

bicycle.

Many

manufacturers

suggest

pointing

the

lever

rearward

avoid

snagging.

This

particularly

important

off-

road,

where

snag

ona

vine,branch

orother

protruding

object

may

pull

open

the

lever,

which

may

cause

and
