Step 6: Install the front wheel
The bike is shipped with an aluminum spacer installed in the fork dropouts to
prevent damage during shipment. Prior to installing the front wheel, this spacer
must be removed by first disassembling and removing the quick release skewer
assembly. Once removed, the aluminum spacer can be discarded. Do not discard
the quick release skewer assembly as it is needed to install the front wheel.
A. Install the quick release skewer through the front wheel. Ensure the orientation
of the conical springs matches the illustration below. The smaller end of the
conical spring will point in towards the wheel hub.
B. Align the wheel to the fork so that the fork dropouts rest on the axle. Ensure the
fork is fully seated on the axle, the wheel is centered on the fork, and the brake
rotor is centered in the caliper assembly.
C. Holding the lever, tighten the nut into place. Rotate the quick release lever to
secure the front wheel to the fork.
Note: Closing the quick release lever should require enough pressure that it leaves an imprint
in your hand. If it’s too easy or too dicult to close, adjust the lever tension by turning the
adjustment nut (“1” in the “Front wheel” illustration) opposite the quick release lever.

ACCESSORIES
Radio Flyer carries a full line of custom accessories to enhance the usability
of the L885. Please refer to the instruction sheets provided with each
accessory to ensure proper assembly. Visit flyer.radioflyer.com or contact
customerservice@radioflyer.com for additional assistance assembling, using,
or repairing your accessories.
WARNING! Incorrect installation of accessories can cause
damage to the bike frame, loss of control, serious injury, or death.
WARNING! The seat post must be inserted to the minimum insertion mark. Do not
raise the seat post beyond the minimum insertion marking on the seat post tube. If the
seat post is not inserted properly, the seat may be loose which can lead to serious injury
or death.
ADJUSTING SEAT HEIGHT
The seat height should be set based on your personal preference. The initial seat position
can be set by first placing the ball of your foot on the pedal with the crank arm in its
lowest position. In this position, your leg should be almost fully extended with a slight
bend in your knee. The proper seat position is important to avoid strain and potential
injury during riding. Consult a trusted, reputable bike mechanic or contact Flyer
customer service for any questions related to the seat position and fit of your bike.

21
A. Open the quick release lever located under the saddle. Rotate the lever fully open to
allow the seat post to slide easily.
B. Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the seat tube. Set the
saddle to the desired height based on rider preference. Ensure that the seat post does
not extend beyond the “minimum seat post insertion” markings on the seat post.
C. Close the quick release lever fully against the seat post tube. This should take some
force to ensure the seat post will stay firmly in place while riding.
