in the housing. This poses the danger of fatal
electric shock.

Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up
on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with
your hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.

If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be
assumed, take it out of operation and make sure
it cannot be used until you have it checked by a
specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no
longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable
battery show signs of damage.

When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing
cables or damaging them with sharp edges.

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when
it is open must only be carried out by a profes-
sional bike workshop and with the power source
removed.

If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, re-
move the battery beforehand. Transport the bat-
tery in a suitable transport container separately
from the Pedelec. A suitable transport container
can be obtained from your specialist cycle shop.
