CLEAT INSTALLATION

1. CHOOSE THE SHIMS FOR THE BASE PLATE THAT BEST FIT THE SOLE OF THE SHOE
   
   
   5-F and 5-R Shims ship pre-installed to the Base Plates, but can be substituted with the Blue 6-F and 6-R Shims.
   Extra Shims may be required between 5-F/6-F Shims and the sole of the shoe.
    CAUTION
   The Base Plate/Shim Combo may not create a “perfect” fit to the bottom of the shoe, but for best results it is important to use the Shims that provide the “best” fit.
2. SCREW THE BASE PLATE TO THE SHOE USING THE BASE PLATE SCREWS
   Base Plate Screws ship in two lengths: (Short/Black & Long/Silver)
   Use the shortest screws that allow at least five full turns of engagement with the socket in the sole of the shoe.
   Set the desired fore-aft position then tighten the Base Plate Screws.
   Recommended tightening torque: 4 Nm.
   
3. FIT THE CLEAT SURROUND AROUND THE BASE PLATE
   Cleat Surrounds are labeled “L” or “R”.”
   
4. FIT THE PROTECTOR PLATE TO THE SPRING & HOUSING
   Spring & Housings are labeled “LEFT” or “RIGHT”. Protector Plates are not labeled.
   The Spring & Housing ships pre-assembled to the Protector Plate. If they have separated, gently snap them together using the two small tabs as a guide.
   
5. SCREW THE ASSEMBLY TO THE BASE PLATE USING THE PROTECTOR PLATE SCREWS
   Install the Protector Plate Screws using a “Double X Pattern” (shown below). Loosely engage all four Protector Plate Screws (Steps: A thru D).
   
   Set the desired left-right position then tighten the Protector Plate Screws (Steps: E thru H).
   
6. ADJUST THE LIMIT SCREWS TO SET THE DESIRED FLOAT
   Tighten the Limit Screws to reduce the amount of float (“heel movement”) experienced by the foot while pedaling.
   Housings are labelled “Heel In” & “Heel Out” to guide which Limit Screws to adjust. Preferred float range is unique to each rider. If you are unsure of your float preference, begin with medium float and adjust as needed.
   Note: Do not unscrew the Limit Screws from the Housing when adjusting float, and do not further tighten the Limit Screws once they have made contact with the tip of the Spring.
   
7. FIT THE CLEAT COVER OVER THE EDGES OF THE PROTECTOR PLATE
   Cleat Covers are labeled “LEFT” or “RIGHT”. Grip the shoe and apply force with the palm of the hand to each of the four corners to ensure that the Cleat Cover has properly covered the edges of the Protector Plate.
   The Cleat Cover should fit flush to the Cleat Surround when installed correctly.
   Note: Failure to properly complete this step may result in the Cleat Cover falling off.
   
8. APPLY PTFE DRY LUBE TO THE SPRING (OPTIONAL)
   Reduce the engagement force required to clip into the pedals by applying a small amount of “PTFE Dry Lube” to the Spring. Wipe away any excess lube.
   
9. USE THE SPACER BETWEEN THE BASE PLATE AND HOUSING TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR YOUR SHOES IF THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE POWER POD.
   DO NOT use the pedals if your shoe comes in contact with the Power Pod. This will void the warranty.
   

PEDAL INSTALLATION

1. CLEAN CRANK ARM THREADS AND APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF GREASE
   Use a cloth or brush to remove old grease before applying new grease.
   
2. IDENTIFY THE LEFT AND RIGHT PEDALS
   The “Wahoo” logo reads left-to-right to help identify each pedal (shown-below)
   
   Note: If necessary, use the provided washers to allow for at least 1mm space between the POWRLINK ZERO power pod and your crank arm .
   CAUTION
   Right pedals install clockwise and le pedals install counterclockwise. Improper installation or cross threading can cause damage to your pedals or crank arms.
3. THREAD THE PEDALS ONTO THE CORRECT CRANK ARM
   Use an 8mm Allen Wrench to ensure a snug fit. Recommended tightening torque: 30 Nm.
   

CHARGING POWRLINK ZERO PEDALS

1. ENSURE THE CABLE IS SECURELY CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE AND TO THE CHARGING CLIPS.
   
2. ATTACH THE CHARGING CLIPS TO THE POWER POD
   When firmly attached, the green LEDs will illuminate.
