8. If your CENTURION pedelec is equipped with
clipless or step-in
(a)
pedals: Have you ever tried
the shoes they go with? First practice locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while
standing on the other leg. Ask your CENTURION
dealer to explain you the pedals.
For more information see the chapter “The ped-
als and the shoes” in your comprehensive orig-
inal CENTURION user manual as well as in the
instructions of the component manufacturers on
the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
9. If you have bought a CENTURION pedelec
with suspension
(b+c)
, you should ask your
CENTURION dealer to adjust the suspension
mechanism to your needs before delivery. Im-
properly adjusted suspension components are
liable to malfunction or damage. In any case they
will impair the performance of your pedelec as
well as your safety and joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Sus-
pension forks”, “Rear shocks” and “Suspen-
sion seat posts” in this translation of the original
CENTURION operating instructions as well as in
your comprehensive original CENTURION user
manual and in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on the enclosed CENTURION
CD-ROM.
G
Be aware that the distance you need to
stop your bike increases, when you are
riding with your hands on bar ends
(d)
or on multi-position handlebars. The brake levers
are not always within easy reach.
G
Be sure to use your CENTURION
pedelec only for its intended purpose,
as it may otherwise not withstand the
stress and fail. Risk of an accident!
G
When mounting your CENTURION
pedelec, make sure not to step on the
pedals until you sit in the saddle and
grip the handlebars tightly, and that one pedal is
at the lowest position when you get on. The mo-
tor assistance might switch on suddenly and re-
sult in an uncontrolled start of your CENTURION
pedelec. Risk of an accident!
G
Pay particular attention to the fact that
there is enough clearance between your
crotch and the top tube so that you do
not hurt yourself when you have to get off your
pedelec quickly.
G
Note that both braking effect and tire
grip can be reduced drastically in wet
conditions. Look well ahead when riding
on wet roads and go well below the speed you
would ride at in dry conditions.
