Installing the Vector Components

The installation steps for the Vector 3 and Vector 3S systems are very similar. Procedures that are specific to the Vector 3S system are noted.

Preparing for the Installation

Remove the existing pedals.

Clean the threads, and remove old grease.

Installing the Pedals

This procedure is for the Vector 3 system. The Vector 3S system installation is the same, but the power sensor components are in the left pedal only. For more information, see About the Vector

3S System, page 2.

Install the right pedal first.

Apply a thin layer of grease on the pedal spindle threads.

Insert the spindle into the crank arm.

Hand tighten the spindle.

Use the pedal wrench to tighten the spindle.

NOTE: Garmin® recommends torque of 25 lbf-ft. (34 N-m).

Repeat steps 2 through 5 to install the left pedal.

NOTE: The left pedal spindle has a left-handed (reverse)

thread. Move your bike chain to the largest chain ring and the

smallest cassette gear. Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance.

NOTE: Garmin recommends 2 mm or more between the

pedal and the chain. If the pedal rubs the chain, you can add one washer (included) between the spindle and the crank arm to increase clearance. To maintain an equal q factor, you can add one washer to the left pedal spindle. Do not use more than one washer on each pedal.

Pedal Status LED

LED flashes indicate a system issue that requires your attention. Error codes are cleared after the issue is resolved and you have synced your Vector system with the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app or your Edge device. The LED is located on the inboard of the spindle À.

LED Activity Status

1 red flash The Vector system is active and

3 green flashes every 10 seconds

Alternating red and green flashes

20 green flashes The software update was successful.

20 red flashes The software update failed.

1 red flash every 10 seconds The pedal batteries are low.

working properly.

The pedal is searching for the other pedal.

A software update is in progress.

Installing the Shoe Cleats

NOTE: The left and right cleats are the same.

Apply a thin layer of grease on the cleat bolt threads.
