Position the fork so that it is facing forward (1-A). Remove the outside 15mm nut and safety washer from each side of
the axle. Slide wheel axle into the slots at the bottom of the fork. Place a safety washer on each side of the axle. The
smaller end of the washer should be facing the fork (1-B). Ensure that the narrow portion of the safety washer is seated
fully into the rounded portion of the fork dropout. Carefully thread on a 15mm nut to each end and tighten with a
wrench.

2. INSTALL TRAINING WHEELS

Required tools – two 13mm wrenches, 15mm or adjustable wrench

Remove the training wheels, brackets, and training wheel bolts from the parts box. Remove the locknut and washers
form the training wheel bolt. Slide the bolt through the training wheel. Place one washer on the bolt next to the wheel.
Insert the training wheel and bolt through the wheel slot on the bracket. Place the second washer on the bolt and
carefully thread the locknut on. Tighten the lock nut with two 13mm wrenches or adjustable wrenches. Repeat the
process with the other training wheel and bracket.
