Information

The cover on the pedal shaft is coded. This means that the pedal shaft can only be fitted correctly in one specific position.

It is important to check that the lugs on the cover are engaged in the cut-outs in the base of the pedal.

This is the only way to ensure that the pedal shaft is installed at the correct position and will not turn.

The pedal shaft must not be greased during installation!
