Repairing the rear light
The rear lights of Gazelle bikes are fitted with LED bulbs. In
principal, these have an unlimited service life. If your light
doesn’t work anyway, most likely the batteries are in need of
replacement.
The Clear Vision and Spanninga Ultra-B rear lights use two AA
batteries. If you need to replace them, open the light using the
screw (S) (figs. 87 and 88).
The rear light of the type LED XB, or the moulded in model LED
XB, uses two AAA batteries. To replace them undo screw (S) (fig. 89).
Make sure that you always place the batteries in the way that is
indicated inside the rear light. Furthermore, use Alkaline batteries
only. These don’t leak, thus preventing damage.
If your rear light doesn’t work with the new batteries, it might be
that the battery contacts have become dirty. If that isn’t the case
either, consult your Gazelle dealer.
Repairing the dynamo
Repairing the HR dynamo
Before you can check or replace the wiring of the HR dynamo,
you must lever the plug off the bottom of the dynamo with a
small screwdriver. When doing so, make sure not to pull on the
plug cover or it might break off. Do not touch the screw on the
bottom side either. Subsequently, open the plug cover. You can
now see if the wires are still connected. If you want to remove
these, then first bend them back.
If you want to reconnect the dynamo with the wires, make sure
that the plastic is stripped off the ends of the twin-core light wire.
Then push these through the plug pins and see to it that they
protrude on the other side at least six millimetres. Then you can
fold the bundles of wire back tightly over the plug pins.
On a separate note: in the dynamo, the two connections on the
right are for the light. These are indicated by a “+” sign. The two
connections on the left are for the black/white earth wire.
If the wires are arranged as desired, press the plug firmly into the
underside of the dynamo housing. Finally, place the light wire at
the back of the plug socket neatly and tightly in the recess and
close the plug cover (figs. 90 and 91).
Repairing the Gazelle Power Plus dynamo
If your bicycle has a Gazelle Power Plus dynamo, the cable
connection is on the underside of the dynamo.
To remove this cable, lever the plugs out of the dynamo. To do so,
you can best use a small screwdriver. You can remove the cable
after bending back the core wires (fig. 92).
To connect the cable you have to make sure that their plastic
protection layer is stripped off the first nine millimetres of the wire
ends at least. If that is the case you can push them through the
plugs. Then push the wires back over the plugs and press these
into the bottom of the dynamo housing. Make sure that the black
wire is in the correct plug, with the “+” sign.
The Axa HR Traction dynamo features a similar plug system. In this
case, all wires are placed into a single socket unit (fig. 92).
A number of Gazelle bikes is fitted with a Shimano hub dynamo.
If this type of dynamo is malfunctioning it is necessary to call in
the help of your Gazelle dealer to solve the problem.
