Deformed components, especially compo-
nents made of aluminum, can break without
previous warning. They must not be repaired,
i.e. straightened, as this will not reduce the imminent
risk of breakage. This applies in particular to the fork,
the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and
the pedals. When in doubt, it is for your safety always
the better choice to have these parts replaced. Ask your
MERIDA dealer for advice.

If your MERIDA bike is assembled with car-
bon components, it is imperative that you
have it checked by your MERIDA dealer af-
ter an accident or similar incident. Carbon is extreme-
ly strong and durable with very low weight, making it
perfect for the production of high-performance parts.
However, one of the inherent properties of carbon is
that possible overstress may compromise the inner
carbon-fiber structure without showing any visible
deformation, as is the case with steel or aluminum. A
damaged component can fail without previous warning.
Risk of an accident!
A
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in
particular the limit stop of the rear derailleur
after a fall or if your MERIDA bike has toppled
over.

with your MERIDA pedelec
1. Check the rechargeable battery
(a-c)
. If the re-
chargeable battery is no longer properly in its holder
or shows any damage, do not use your MERIDA
pedelec any longer, at least not in the assistance
mode. Switch off the drive and the rechargeable
battery separately, if necessary. A damaged battery
can lead to a short-circuit resulting in a sudden fail-
ure of the MERIDA pedelec assistance right at the
moment when you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable
battery can result in water or moisture entry which
can lead to short circuits or electric shocks. The re-
chargeable battery may catch fire or even explode!
In such a case, contact your MERIDA dealer imme-
diately.
For more information see the system instructions of
your drive manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
2. Check that all values are displayed properly and ful-
ly on the drive HMI
(d)
or the display. Do not use
your MERIDA pedelec, if the drive HMI shows an
error message or a warning. In the case of critical
errors the system switches off automatically. In the
case of non-critical errors the system may be still
operable.
