10 Cleaning
Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth,
a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning
agents and additional information from your specialist
cycle shop.
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.
11 Warnings
›
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 you are transporting your Pedelec by car,
remove the battery beforehand. Transport the
battery in a safe receptacle, separately to the
Pedelec.
›
The Pedelec operates using low voltage
(36 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec
using power from a source other than a suitable
genuine battery.
›
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 and connected to the power supply
must only be carried out by the specialist cycle
shop.
›
When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing
cables or damaging them with sharp edges.
›
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.
›
Keep children away from electrical appliances. If
children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if there is a possibility they could in-
sert objects into the appliance through apertures
in the housing. This poses the danger of fatal
electric shock.
›
When charging the battery, make absolutely sure
the charger is correctly supported on its four
feet. It must not be covered when in operation.
The heat produced by the battery must be able to
dissipate.
›
Always engage the brake if you are at a traffic
light. If you move the pedals by accident, this
could start up the motor and cause the bike to
set off.
