Transporting and storing
4.4
Storing
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger in a clean, dry place where they are
protected from sunlight. Do not store outdoors
to ensure a long service life.
Temperatures under -10 °C or over +40 °C must
generally be avoided.
Storage at about 10 °C to 20 °C is beneficial to a
long battery life.
Store pedelec, on-board computer, battery and
charger separately.
4.4.1
Storage mode
The on-board computer features a power-saving
storage mode, which minimises discharge from
the on-board computer battery. The date and time
are eliminated during storage mode.
4.4.1.1
Activating
The display will no longer start up when you press
the
on-off button
(on-board computer)
briefly
once in storage mode.
Press and hold the
On-Off button (on-board
computer)
for at least 8 seconds.
Storage mode is activated if the on-board
computer does not start after the
On-Off button
(on-board computer)
is pressed briefly.
4.4.1.2
Deactivating
Press and hold the
On-Off button (on-board
computer)
for at least 2 seconds.
Storage mode is deactivated.
4.4.2
Break in operation
Remove the on-board computer from its mount if
the pedelec is not going to be used for four
weeks. Store the on-board computer away safely
in a dry environment at room temperature.
If the pedelec is removed from service for longer
than four weeks, you need to prepare it for a
break in operation.
4.4.2.1 Preparing a break in operation
Remove the rechargeable battery from the
pedelec.
Charge battery to around 30 % - 60 %.
The pedelec needs to be cleaned with a damp
cloth and preserved with wax spray. Never wax
the friction surfaces of the brake.
Before longer periods without use, it is
recommendable to have your specialist dealer
carry out an inspection and basic cleaning and
apply preservative agent.
4.4.2.2 Carrying out a break in operation
1
Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean environment. We recommend storing
them in uninhabited rooms with smoke alarms.
Dry locations with an ambient temperature of
about 10 °C to 20 °C are ideal.
2
Recharge the on-board computer battery for at
least 1 hour every 3 months.
3
Check the battery level after 6 months. If only
one LED on the battery level indicator lights up,
recharge the battery to around 30 % - 60 %.
Accident after storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If the pedelec is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brake a couple of times
before setting off to ensure that it works as
normal.
Optimum pedelec storage temperature
10 °C - 20 °C
