10 Cleaning
›
Remove the battery before you clean your
Pedelec.
›
Do not use benzine, thinner, acetone or similar
agents in the cleaning procedures under any
circumstances. Likewise, the use of abrasive
cleaners and aggressive cleaning agents must
also be avoided.
›
Only use commercially available, household
cleaning agents and disinfectants (isopropyl
alcohol) or water. You can obtain suitable clean-
ing agents and additional information from your
specialist cycle shop.
›
We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a
damp cloth, a sponge or a brush.
10.1 Cleaning the battery
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike.
When wiping down the battery, be careful not to touch and
connect the contacts on the underside. This could cause
the battery to switch off.
10.2 Cleaning the motor
Dirt should be removed from the motor of your Pedelec
regularly, ideally using a dry brush or a damp (not wet)
cloth. Running water such as that from a hose pipe or even
a high-pressure cleaner must not be used for cleaning.
The ingress of water can destroy the motor. Therefore,
ensure that neither fluids nor moisture enter the motor at
any time during cleaning.
10.3 Cleaning the display
The housing of the display may only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.
Do not use other chargers. Only charge the battery us-
ing the charger provided, or a charger approved by us.
•
If a charging fault occurs, the LED in the charger
flashes red. In this case, the charging current is too
high.
•
Disconnect the battery from the charger and then
connect it again. If the error message still appears,
the battery and charger must be checked by a spe-
cialist dealer.
If used incorrectly, the device may be damaged or
inflict injuries.
›
Before cleaning the charger, always pull the plug
out of the socket to avoid a short-circuit and/or
physical injury.
›
Only use the charger in dry rooms.
›
Only place the charger in a secure stable position
on a suitable surface.
›
Do not cover the charger or place any objects on
it as otherwise it could overheat and catch fire.
