and align with the axle holes.
3. Reinsert the quick-release axle.
4. Move the quick-release lever to the open position.
5. Hook the quick-release lever into the slot and turn it clockwise.

DANGER
It should be hard enough to close the quick-release lever that you
need to use the ball of your hand (120 N: corresponds to a weight
force of 12 kg). You should have the mark of the lever imprinted on
your hand. Otherwise it could open when you are cycling, which could
lead to the wheel becoming loose and cause you to fall.
