Schwinn Triple Link-SDL Setup guide

Schwinn Triple Link –SDL
Installation and Usage
Warning:
The Triple Link-SDL (Schwinn DuraLock) pedal is intended for use on indoor stationary cycles only. Do not use
on outdoor bicycles. The pedals are not equipped with reflectors for proper visibility at night, and in certain positions the
pedal does not have adequate clearance to the ground.
Installation:
The Triple Link-SDL pedals can be used on any Schwinn bike equipped with cranks that have the non-threaded SDL
interface. The SDL interface became standard on the Schwinn AC Performance Plus and AC Sport bikes in April, 2015. If
your bike crank is not SDL compatible and you will need the threaded version of the Schwinn Triple Link pedal.
Tools Required:
1. 8mm hex key
2. 3mm hex key
3. Dead blow hammer

Installing Platform
Install the pedal platform by inserting the front hook first, then press the back end of the platform down.
Removing Platform
In order to remove the platform, twist the platform towards the outside of the bike. When removing the right
platform, twist the platform counter clockwise (As shown below for the right pedal). Similarly, when removing
the left platform, twist the cage clockwise.

Maintenance:
To function properly, pedals should be kept clean and lubricated. Use a Teflon-based lubricant on moving parts and
springs to ensure ease of engagement and keep the pedal working smoothly. Pedals should be inspected regularly, and
should be serviced if any parts become loose or they feel rough, tight or loose when turned.
