contacts must be covered and the battery
securely packaged.

Storing
If the pedelec features a hydraulic seat post, fix
only the lower seat post or the frame into a fitting
stand to prevent damage to the upper seat post
and the seat post lever.
Never place a pedelec with a hydraulic seat post
upside down on the floor; otherwise you, will
damage the seat post lever.
Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean location.
Temperatures under -10 °C or over +60 °C
should generally be avoided. Storage at about
20 °C is beneficial to a long service life.
Notice
The specialist dealer will advise you on how to
select a suitable rack system properly and how to
use it safely.
If you ship the pedelec, we recommend that
you have it partially dismantled and packaged
properly by the specialist dealer.
Risk of fire and explosion due to high
temperatures
Temperatures over 60 °C can also cause liquid to
leak from the battery and the battery will become
damaged. Batteries may self-ignite and explode.
Protect batteries against heat.
Never store in proximity to hot or flammable
objects.
Never expose batteries to continuous direct
sunlight and never store near heaters.
Notice
Oil and grease may leak from the pedelec if it is
lying flat.
If the shipping box with a pedelec is lying flat or
standing on one end, it does not provide the
frame
and wheels with adequate protection against
damage.
Store the pedelec in an upright position only.
