Before carrying out maintenance on
an e-bike, you need to switch it off
and remove the battery from the bike.
Switching the system on or off accidentally
could cause injuries.
Avoid touching the battery with paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or any other small
metal objects which could cause the con-
tacts to short out. A short circuit between
the battery contacts may cause the metal
object or the battery to heat up, explode,
catch fire or overheat.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.
against sustained exposure to strong sun-
light as well), fire and immersion in liquids.
This may result in fire, explosions and
generate smoke.
Do not immerse the battery in liquids. This
will damage the battery safety circuit and
may cause fire, explosions as well as gener-
ating heat and smoke.
Do not use the battery if it is damaged. If
you use a battery with a damaged housing,
fluid may leak out of it. Avoid contact with
it. Battery fluid which has leaked out may
cause skin irritation and burns.
Keep the battery out children’s reach.
Always hold the battery with both hands.
Use the battery exclusively for this
type of bike. Using it in other bikes
risks a short circuit, fire or explosion.
The battery is fitted with a safety mecha-
nism. Do not open the battery. Damage to
the safety mechanism may cause fire, explo-
sions as well as generating heat and smoke.
