(4) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork
dropouts, and at the same time centering the wheel rim in the fork,
rotate the quick-release lever upwards and push it into the CLOSED
position (fig. 11 & 12). The lever should be parallel to the fork blade
and curved toward the wheel.
CAUTION: If you can fully close the quick release
without wrapping
your fingers around the fork blade for leverage, and the lever
does
not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is
insufficient. Open the lever; turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise
a quarter turn; then try again.
(5) If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a position parallel to the
fork blade, return the lever to the OPEN position. Then turn the tension
adjusting nut counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening the
lever again.
(6) Close the brake shoes; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is
centered in the frame and clears the brake shoes.
