Important Safety Information
WARNING
• Do not disassemble or modify the product.
This may cause the product to not operate
correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be
seriously injured.
• Never use alkali based or acid-based
solvents, such as rust cleaners. If those
solvents are used the chain might break and
cause serious injury.
• Clean the chain with an appropriate chain
cleaner regularly. Intervals between
maintenance depend on the use and riding
circumstances.
• Check the chain for any damage
(deformation or cracking), skipping, or other
abnormalities such as unintended gear
shifting. If any problems are found, consult
your local bicycle mechanic or FiSHAW
representative. The chain may break, and you
may fall.
• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried
out smoothly, clean the shifting unit and
lubricate all moving parts.
• The gears should be periodically washed with
a neutral detergent. In addition, cleaning the
chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it
can be an effective way of extending the life of
the gears and the chain.
• Products are not guaranteed against natural
wear and deterioration from normal use and
aging.
• For maximum performance we highly
recommend Shimano lubricants and
maintenance products.
Regular Inspections Before Riding the Bicycle
Before riding the bicycle, check the following
items. If any problems are found, consult your
local bicycle mechanic or FiSHAW.
• Is gear shifting carried out smoothly?
• Has excess play increased in the links?
• Has excess play increased in the pulleys?
• Are there any abnormal noises coming from
the derailleur?
• Is there any noticeable damage on the chain?
ADJUSTING THE REAR DERAILLEUR
Increase the tension of the Bowden cable by
turning the adjustable cable stop at the shifter
lever or the adjusting bolt through which it
runs into the rear derailleur. To do so, shift to
the smallest sprocket and turn the bolts
counter clockwise in half turns until the cable is
slightly tensioned. After tensioning the Bowden
cable check whether the chain immediately
climbs onto the next larger sprocket. To find
out you either must turn the cranks by hand
—
or ride your FISHAW electric bike and shift
through the gears.
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger
sprocket, check whether it just as easily shifts
to the small sprockets. If it does not, release
the respective adjusting bolt a little. You may
need several tries.
Observe the operating instructions of the gear
manufacturer on their respective websites. If
you have any problems with the gears, contact
your bicycle mechanic.
Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel. By
turning the cranks and shifting through you can
easily check the function.
