ADDITIoNAL INFoRMATIoN “AFTER AN ACCIDENT” WITH
YoUR MUSTANG PEDELEC
1. Check the rechargeable battery
(a)
. If the rechargeable battery is
no longer properly in its holder or shows any damage, do not use
your MUSTANG pedelec any longer, or at least, not in assistance
mode. Switch off the motor and the battery separately, if neces-
sary. A damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit or a sudden
failure of your MUSTANG pedelec assistance right at the moment
when you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable battery can result
in the entry of water or moisture and that can lead to short circuits
or electric shocks. The rechargeable battery could catch fire or
even explode! In such a case contact your MUSTANG bicycle dealer
immediately.
2. Check the display
(b)
. Are all the values displayed as usual?
Do not use your MUSTANG pedelec if the display shows an error
message or a warning. If necessary, switch off the system com-
pletely and wait at least 10 seconds before checking it again.
Do not set off on your MUSTANG pedelec with drive assistance if
the control element shows a warning. In such a case contact your
MUSTANG bicycle dealer immediately.
You can find further information in the chapter
“operating the
bionx propulsion System”
in your BionX system operating in-
structions.
3. Let your MUSTANG pedelec bounce on the ground from a low
height. If there is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the
bearings, the bolts and the proper seating of the battery and the
connectors
(c+d)
, as necessary.
You can find further information in the chapter
“inserting and re-
moving the battery”
in your BionX system operating instructions.

QUICK-RELEASES
Most mountain bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast ad-
justments, assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check that all the
quick-releases are tight before you set off on your MUSTANG bicycle.
Quick-releases should be handled with the greatest care, as they di-
rectly affect your safety.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments:
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping
force via a cam when you close it
(e)
.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the initial
tension on the threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set
(f)
.
G
Make sure that the levers of both wheel quick-releases
are always on the side opposite the chain drive. This will
help you to avoid accidentally mounting the front wheel the
wrong way round. In the case of bicycles with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reason-
able to mount both quick-releases with the lever on the side
of the chain drive
(g)
. This would help you not to come into
contact with the rotor and prevent you from having your fin-
gers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
then contact your MUSTANG bicycle dealer.
G
Never ride your MUSTANG bicycle without having checked
first whether the wheels are securely fastened

!
G
Do not touch the rotor directly after having stopped – you
may burn your fingers! Always let the rotor cool down be-
fore opening the quick-release!
A
If your MUSTANG bicycle is equipped with quick-releases,
be sure to lock the wheels together with the frame to an
immovable object when you leave the bicycle outside.
