. They are an integral part of the
bike’s safety system. Removing the reflectors reduces your visibility
to others using the roadway. Being struck by other vehicles may result
in serious injury or death. Make sure that your bike is equipped with
correctly positioned and securely mounted reflectors.
Inspect your pedelec before every trip, and after each time it has been
transported anywhere or has been left unattended

trip, Page US-36
. If wear and damage are not detected in good time,
components may fail. If this happens while you are riding the bike
you could be severely injured or killed. Due to the additional power,
wearing parts on a pedelec are subject to more stress than a normal
bike. If you observe worn, damaged or bent components do not use
the bike again until the components are repaired or replaced.
Contact your bike dealer when it is necessary to replace wearing parts
and other

components. We recom-
mend that all assembly and adjustment work is carried out by your
dealer. Only use original replacement parts. Replacement parts from
other manufacturers can impair the function of your pedelec. It can
result in failures that can lead to serious accidents, injury or death.
WARNING

pedelec, because it can to the fracture or failure of safety-relevant

. If this
happens while you are riding the bike, it can lead to severe falls –
with fatal consequences.
Ask your dealer to show you the operation and features of the
components. Please also read the component guides. We recommend
that all assembly and adjustment work be carried out by an approved
dealer, as incorrect assembly could cause components to become
loose. If this happens while you are riding the bike you could be
severely injured or killed. If you do have to tighten something, you
will find a complete list of the required torque settings in Section
10. Torque settings, Page US-67
, which must be strictly followed.
Always remove the battery before starting to do adjustments,
assembly, service or maintenance on the pedelec. The pedelec could
switch on unexpectedly and you could be seriously injured.
You should have your bike and its components checked periodically by
your dealer for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including
cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other
indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These
are important safety checks and very important to help prevent
accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened product life.
