Cleaning and care
7. Cleaning and care
• If necessary, clean the vehicle with water and a soft sponge or soft brush.
• The Gates Carbon Drive Belt is also cleaned with water and does not need to be
lubricated.
• The contacts of the batt ery and the batt ery holder on the frame can be wiped
with a damp cloth. Wait unti l the contacts are dry before reatt aching the batt ery.
A high-speed jet of water can cause damage to the bearings, NuVinci hub,
Bosch batt ery, motor and display.
-> Only use a weak garden hose that provides a slow jet of water.
Oil or spray wax that gets onto the brake discs or pads dramati cally reduc-
es brake performance.
-> Prevent spray wax or oil from coming into contact with the brake discs
or pads!
8. Transporti ng on a car
To avoid damage caused by transporti ng the vehicle on the outside of a car, observe
the following instructi ons:
The batt ery can become loose when the vehicle is being transported on
a car and poses a risk to other road users.
-> Remove the batt ery and any non-bolted accessories from your vehicle
before transporti ng it on a car on a rear or roof rack.
If you transport the UD1 on a car in the rain and at high speeds, water can
get into the NuVinci hub, the Bosch drive unit, the batt ery and the display.
-> Remove the batt ery and Intuvia Display
-> Use a protecti ve cover for the vehicle, covering the hub and drive unit.
The weight of the vehicle places increased demands on the rear or roof
rack of a car. Unsuitable bike racks can break during the journey or may
not be completely safe for your vehicle.
-> Check the potenti al roof load in the operati ng manual of the car and the
bearing load in the manual of the bike rack.
Li-ion batt eries are subject to the requirements of the hazardous goods
law. Private users can transport the batt ery on the road without restric-
ti ons. In the case of commercial transport (e.g. haulage), regulati ons on
packaging and labelling must be observed (e.g. the provisions of the ADR).
