Chain
Important safety notes
N WARNING
If you install or handle the chain incor-
rectly, e.g. if you bend or twist it, you
may cause damage that is not visible
from out-side. This type of damage to the
chain can cause it to tear unexpectedly,
causing you to slip off the pedals. There
is a risk of accident and injury.
• Handle the
chain with utmost care
and follow the instructions for use.
• Have a damaged chain replaced
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
When handling the chain, avoid:
• kinking it in any direction
• twisting it
• turning it inside out
• reverse bending
• tying or binding it up with cable ties or
cord
• using it as a tool
• mounting the
chain by applying
tension with a lever or by turning the
foot pedal
Never use a chain that has been da-
maged.
T i res and wheels
The t i res establish the contact with the
road surface. They provide grip and
traction and, depending on the t
i re pres-
sure, absorb small bumps.
Although the wheels of your
ITALMOTO e-bike are manufactured with
great care and delivered trued, this does
not prevent the spokes from losing tension
on the first kilometres.
For this reason, you should regularly in-
spect the tension of the spokes and have
them re-centred by a
ITALMOTO dealer.
