8. To safely secure your front wheel into the fork, repeat the “Installation Instructions” for
the 15QR Axle System until the result shown in Figure 6: “Correct Orientation of the Closed
15QR Lever” on page 27 is achieved.
Caution: After closing the 15QR axle lever, do not attempt to
re–position or spin the lever, as either of these actions can
cause the axle to dangerously loosen.
Figure 10: 15QR Axle Lever Warning
Warning! Never attempt to install the 15QR axle system by
only rotating the 15QR lever to tighten and fasten. This will
not be sufficient means to safely attach the wheel, and can result
in serious or fatal bodily injury.
Items To Inspect Before Every Ride
Always check your front 15QR and rear quick release levers before riding, to verify that you
have installed your wheels correctly and safely. Before every ride, inspect the proper tension
level of your 15QR lever by opening and closing the lever by hand. If you are not certain as
to whether you have your 15QR lever adjusted and tightened correctly, repeat the 15QR Axle
System installation instructions.
It is very important to be sure that you have pushed the 15QR lever fully to the CLOSED position.
The side of the lever with the inscription CLOSED must be facing outwards from the
wheel, and the axle lever must be positioned between one (1) and twenty (20) mm.
