General safety instructions
Dear CENTURION customer,
In purchasing this CENTURION pedelec
(a+b)
you
have chosen a product of high quality. Each com-
ponent of your new CENTURION pedelec has been
designed, manufactured and assembled with great
care and expertise. Your CENTURION dealer gave
the pedelec its final assembly and adjustment. This
guarantees you pleasure and a sense of confidence
from the very first turn of the pedals.
This manual contains a wealth of information on the
proper use of your CENTURION pedelec, its mainte-
nance and operation as well as interesting informa-
tion on bicycle and pedelec design and engineering.
Read this translation of the original CENTURION op-
erating instructions thoroughly. We are sure that even
if you have been cycling all your life you will find useful
and detailed information. Bicycle technology has de-
veloped at a rapid pace during recent years
(c+d)
.
Therefore, before setting off on your new CENTURION
pedelec, be sure to read at least the chapter “Before
your first ride”.
To ensure as much fun and safety as possible dur-
ing cycling, be sure to carry out the functional check
described in the chapter “Before every ride” before
setting off on your CENTURION pedelec.
Even a manual as big as an encyclopedia could
not describe any possible combination of bicycle or
pedelec models and components or parts on the
market. The translation of these original CENTURION
operating instructions therefore focuses on your
newly purchased CENTURION pedelec and stand-
ard components and provides useful information and
warnings. In addition to this, the system instructions
of your drive manufacturer give important information
and warnings on handling your new CENTURION
pedelec.
When doing any adjusting and maintenance work, be
aware that the detailed instructions provided in your
manual only refer to this CENTURION pedelec.
The information included here is not applicable to
any other bicycle or pedelec type. As bicycles and
pedelecs come in a wide variety of designs with
frequent model changes, the routines described
may require complementary information. It is es-
sential to also observe the comprehensive original
CENTURION user manual as well as the system
instructions of your drive manufacturer and the in-
structions of the component manufacturers on the
enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
Be aware that these instructions may require further
explanation, depending on the experience and/or
skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs
you may require additional (special) tools or supple-
mentary instructions. This manual cannot teach you
the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
