WARNINGS
Health Hazards
• Protect the battery from mechanical influences and any other load.
• If you notice or suspect that gas is leaking from the battery, immediately ensure a supply of fresh air
and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
• Keep the battery and charger away from pacemakers or persons wearing a pacemaker and draw the
attention of persons with pacemakers to the danger.
• Only connect the charger to an easily accessible and properly installed power outlet.
• Make sure that the mains voltage at the mains connection corresponds to the information on the
charger.
• Only use the charger in dry indoor areas.
• Keep the charger away from any liquid or moisture.
• Do not pull on the mains or charging cable to pull the respective cable out of a socket or outlet, but
always hold the corresponding plug.
• Do not handle the plugs of the power cord and charging cable with wet or damp hands.
• Take care not to bend the power cord and charging cable or lay them over sharp edges.
• Do not open the charger without authorization. The charger may only be opened by an authorized
specialist and repaired using original spare parts.
• Before each use of the charger, check all individual parts (mains adapter, mains cable, charging
cable, and all plugs) for damage. If the charger's power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, their customer service, or a similarly qualified person, to avoid hazards.
• Never use a damaged charger. Otherwise there is a high risk of electric shock.
• Keep the charger in a clean condition. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the charger is dirty
or contaminated.

• Should you ever come into contact with battery acid, immediately rinse the affected body part
thoroughly under plenty of running water.

• Allow the drive unit to cool down completely before touching the drive unit.
Potential Damage Hazards
• Have individual components of the drive system and the e-bike replaced exclusively by identical
components or other components expressly approved by the e-bike manufacturer. This will protect
the other components of your e-bike from possible damage.
• Never use your e-bike without a drive unit.
• When charging the battery, make sure the charging cables are not trip hazards in order to prevent
components from being damaged by a fall.
