Operation
6.5.5 Retracting the brake linings
Disc brakes require wearing-in time. The braking
force increases over time. You therefore need to be
aware that the braking force may increase during the
wearing-in period. The same happens after brake
pads or discs are replaced.
1 Accelerate pedelec to about 25 km/h.
2 Brake pedelec until it comes to a halt.
3 Repeat process 30–50 times.

The disc brake is retracted and provides
optimal braking power.
6.5.6 Adjusting the Suntour fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and his/her preferences.
 It is advisable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.5.6.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection depends on the rider's weight
and sitting position. The recommended negative
deflection is between 15% (hard) and 30% (soft)
of the
total fork deflection .
6.5.6.2 Adjusting the steel suspension fork
negative deflection
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
You can adjust the tensioning in the fork spring to
the rider's weight and their preferred riding style.
This reduces the negative deflection in the fork.
Figure 38: Negative deflection setting wheel on the
suspension fork crown
1 You will find the negative deflection setting
wheel beneath the plastic cover on the crown .
Remove the plastic cover.
Turn the
negative deflection setting wheel in a
clockwise direction to increase the spring pre-
tensioning.
Turn the
negative deflection setting wheel in
an anti-clockwise direction to decrease the
spring pre-tensioning.
 You will have made the ideal setting if the
shock absorber deflects 3 mm when bearing
the rider's weight.
3 Replace the plastic cover on the crown after
making the setting.
Crash caused by incorrectly set suspension
If the suspension is set incorrectly, the fork may
become damaged, meaning problems may occur
when steering. This will cause a crash with
injuries.

Never ride the bicycle without air in the air
suspension fork.

Never use the pedelec without adjusting the
suspension fork to the rider's weight.
Notice
Settings on the chassis change riding
performance significantly. You need to get used
to the bicycle and break it in to prevent accidents.
