The wheel is tightly secured when the serrated surfaces of the 5. 
quick release clamping parts actually begin to cut into the bicycle 
frame/fork surfaces.
Note that the same procedure applies when operating a quick 6. 
release seat post binder mechanism.
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 you 
hand, the tension is insufficient. Open the lever, tighten the 
adjusting nut, and try again. Continue until the QR lever 
closes properly. Secondary retention devices are not a 
substitute for a correct quick release adjustment. Failure to 
properly adjust the quick release mechanism can cause the 
wheel to wobble or disengage, which could cause you to 
lose control and fall, resulting in serous injury or death.
!
Tighten both rear wheel axle nuts or the quick release 
mechanism securely. Failure to do this may cause the rear 
wheel to dislodge from the frame dropouts resulting in 
serious damage or injury.

QUICK RELEASE LEVERS
It is important to check the quick release levers before every ride to ensure 
all connections are made properly and securely.
Periodically, disassemble the mechanism from the 
bicycle and inspect for any wear or damage and replace if 
necessary. When reinstalling, it is very important to ensure 
the connections are made properly.
