There are specific packaging and marking requirements to
be observed for transport by commercial users or transport
by third parties (e.g. air freight or a haulage company). Such
requirements include those of the International Carriage of
Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) legislation. If necessary,
an expert on transporting hazardous goods can be con-
sulted when preparing the item for dispatch.
•
If you have any questions regarding the transport of the
battery, contact your Gazelle service specialist. You can
also order suitable transport packaging from them.
5.2 Storing the bike
5.2.1 Parking the bike after use
1. Park the bike at a suitable place at all times.
2. Do not leave children on their own with the bike. Fingers
can get caught between the spokes or brake discs if they
turn the wheel when the bike is on the kickstand.
3. Switch off the electric assistance.
4. In order to prevent theft, it is always wise to lock your bike
and put away any loose components of the bike.
5. To avoid damage, always have the Makki parked on its
stand. Do not lean the Makki against a wall.
5.2.2 Storing the bike for a longer time
If the bike is not to be used for a long period of time (more than
3 months), it is not necessary to take any special precautionary
measures, such as removing the battery, providing the
following instructions are followed:
•
Observe operating temperatures for the bike components.
Protect the drive unit, on-board computer and battery
against extreme temperatures (for example intense sunlight
without adequate ventilation).
These components (especially the battery) can be dam-
aged by extreme temperatures.
•
Store the bike and battery at temperatures between 0 °C
and 20 °C.
Temperatures below –10 °C or above +60 °C must always
be avoided. For storing for long periods of time, an ambient
temperature of approx. 20 °C is the most suitable. Take care
to ensure that the maximum storage temperature is not
exceeded.
•
Store the bike somewhere that is dry and has good ventila-
tion. Protect the bike against moisture and water.
•
During bad weather, remove the battery from the bike and
store the battery in a closed space until the next use.
