Light system
If you want to ride your bike on public streets,
it must be equipped with a legal light system.
Do not only use your lights in the dark but al-
so in the twilight of dusk and dawn. Due to
laws and regulations the brightness of bicycle
lights may be considerably lower than that of
other vehicles.Therefore always keep in mind
that other road-users may only see you very
late or not at all.
For the Street Machine Gte, HP V
ELOTECHNIK
offers two different dynamo light systems: one
with a tire dynamo and the other with a hub
generator.
Both light systems come with strong LEDs for
headlamp and rear light.The LEDs last consi-
derably longer (approx. 100.000 working
hours) than a light bulb. For your safety the
light system has a standlight system at the
front and at the rear light, which makes the
LEDs shine on approximately 10 minutes after
you have stopped riding.The electronic system
is maintenance free. Because of the capacitors
used you don't have to worry about batteries.
The cables and the contacts can be affected by
corrosion or mechanical damage.Therefore,
check the light system before every ride.
Tire dynamo
You turn on the light system with the tire dy-
namo at the rear wheel by unlocking the swi-
veling dynamo. For this purpose you press the
red button at the dynamo until it moves to-
wards the rear wheel.To turn the light off, you
turn the dynamo by hand back to its initial po-
sition.
You can adjust the pressure of the dynamo
against the wheel with the turning knob at the
side.The pressure is right when the dynamo
wheel just does not slip at the wheel, if the
light flickers, the pressure is too low and you
have to increase it.The position of the dynamo
should be so that the extension of the dynamo
axle points through the center of the wheel.
Take care that the dynamo is mounted safely
and does not turn.Worn dynamo wheels can
be exchanged. Please ask your specialist dealer.
Light system
You switch on the tire dynamo by pressing the red button.To
switch off the dynamo move it away from the wheel.
Danger!
Do not try to operate the dynamo
lever while riding, your hands could be
caught in the wheel and be injured! To turn
the light system on or off stop riding, dis-
mount your bicycle and only then do turn
the dynamo lever.Turn the lever carefully wi-
thout applying force else you might bend the
lever and damage the plastic parts of the dy-
namo.

Danger!
The dynamo must always be safely
fastened to the bracket at the frame, so that
it can not turn. If the screws comes loose
the dynamo can get caught in the spokes
and block the rear wheel - danger of a se-
rious fall! Always check the position and se-
cure attachment of the dynamo before a ride.
