Assembly:
1.
Place the front wheel (without DC15 thru axle) in the drop-outs under your suspension fork's lower legs. Position the brake rotor
between the brake pads while carefully inserting the front wheel hub parallel into the opening of the drop-outs.
Tipp:
Dirt and grit can accumulate between the drop outs. Always check and clean this area before inserting the
front wheel.
2.
Grease the axle and thread of your DC15 thru axle. Insert the axle through the drop outs of your fork and insert fully until the axle's
thread contacts the fork leg's thread.
3.
Insert the axle approx. 6 revolutions into the fork, but not all the way as far as it goes! Then, flip the lever to create some tension. In
the closed position, the lever should be pointing upwards and close to the forks lower leg, so that it cannot easily be damaged by
contact or open up by itself.
3.1 If the lever position is not optimal, it can be corrected. To do this, turn the axle out again, and change the position of the
lever, by pushing the lever against the spring until the position can be readjusted. This is felt by engaging every 60°.
3.2 Never try to turn the DC15 thru axle with a large force. Even if the required clamping force cannot be reached or the
thru axle does not seem to want to go into the drop outs, never apply a large amount of force. This can damage the
DC15!
