CHAIN TENSION
•
The chain is tensioned by the rear derailleur of the gearshift.
•
Check that the chain does not sag (visual inspection).
•
Push the rear derailleur forward pressure and check that it returns to the initial position once you release
it.
•
If the chain sags or the rear derailleur does not return to its initial position by itself, consult your dealer.
BRAKES
•
Check that all screws of the brakes are properly tightened.
•
Check that the brake levers are properly fixed on the handlebars.
•
If you find any loose screw connections, get those tightened by your dealer.
•
Check that the brake levers are at least 8 - 10 mm away from the handlebar when the brake lever is pulled
with maximum force.
•
If the distance is clearly less than 10mm, adjust the brake (see chapter "Settings >> Brake").
•
Check that the BEN-E-BIKE cannot be pushed forward when the brakes are applied.
•
If you notice a too low braking force, adjust the brake (see chapter "Settings >> Brake"). Pay attention to
unexpected noise when operating the brakes. If you hear noises (like squeal) have checked the brakes by
your dealer.
GEAR SHIFT CABLE
•
Check if the outer liner of the gear shift cable for any damages.
•
Operate the gear shift and check if the gear shift cable does not stick nor any scraping noises occur. If you
hear scraping noises or if the shift cable sticks, contact your dealer.
CHAINDRIVE
•
Hang up the BEN-E-BIKE or have it lifted by a second person.
