Cleaning and servicing
7.4.2
Brake system
The maintenance interval for the brake depends
on the weather conditions and how frequent the
S pedelec is used. If the S pedelec is used under
extreme conditions such as rain, dirt or high
mileage, maintenance must be performed more
frequently.
7.4.3
Checking the brake linings for wear
Check brake linings after brake has been fully
applied 1,000 times.
1
Check that the brake linings are no less than
1.8 mm wide at any point and there are no less
than 2.5 mm between the brake lining and
supporting plate.
2
Push brake lever and hold. In doing so, check
whether the transport safety wear gauge can fit
between the brake lining supporting plates.
The brake linings have not reached their wear
limit. Contact your specialist dealer if they are
worn.
7.4.4
Checking the pressure point
Pull brake lever and hold repeatedly several
times.
If you are unable to clearly detect the pressure
point and it changes, the brake needs to be
bled. Contact your specialist dealer.
7.4.5
Checking the brake discs for wear
Check that the brake disc measures no less
than 1.8 mm in depth at any point.
The brake discs have not reached their wear
limit yet; brake discs need to be replaced if
they have. Contact your specialist dealer.
7.4.6
Checking the electrical cables and
brake cables
Check all visible electrical cables and Bowden
cables for damage. If the sheathing is
compressed, a brake is defective or a light
does not work, the S pedelec must be removed
from service until the lines and cables have
been repaired. Contact your specialist dealer.
7.4.7
Checking the gear shift
Check the gear shift and the
shifter
and
gear
twist grip
settings and adjust as necessary.
7.4.8
Checking the stem
The stem and quick release system must be
inspected at regular intervals. The specialist
dealer should adjust them if necessary.
If the hexagon socket head screw is also
loosened, the headset backlash also needs to
be adjusted. Medium-strength thread locker,
such as Loctite blue, then needs to be applied
to the loosened screws and the screws
tightened as per specifications.
Contact your specialist dealer if there is any
wear or signs of corrosion.
Crash caused by brake failure
Worn brake discs and brake linings, as well as a
lack of hydraulic fluid in the brake cable, reduce
the braking power. This may cause a crash with
injuries.
Check the brake disc, brake linings and
hydraulic brake system on a regular basis.
Contact your specialist dealer if any of these
components have become worn.
