gearshift
The pedal bearing gearshift should be
lubricated once or twice a year with the
supplied original semi-fluid grease using the
syringe. The semi-fluid grease is filled through
the slotted screw.

16.4 Brakes
Normally there is one disc and one rim brake
fitted to the product. Where possible, both
brakes should be operated simultaneously and
the braking requirement reduced by driving in a
way that anticipates the requirement to reduce
speed if necessary.
16.4.1 Rim and disc brakes
The brakes are operated using the brake lever.
Figure 27: Brake lever
In the event of abrupt hard braking, there
is a risk that you might fall forward with your
upper body and thereby cause injuries to
yourself.
Please make sure that the braking
surfaces on the rim, the brake disks and the
brake pads on the rim breaks do not come into
contact with oils or greases which could
otherwise impair the braking effect. If rims,
brake discs or brake pads do come into
contact with oils or greases, the brake pads
must be replaced and the brake disc and rim
must be professionally cleaned with brake
cleaner (e.g., Weicon surface cleaner).
You can find further information in the brake
manufacturer's instructions.
16.4.2 Back-pedal brake for hub drives
A back-pedal brake is already integrated into
the Shimano Nexus Inter7 and 8 speed hub
drives.
This brake is operated by moving the cranks
against the acceleration direction. The brake
force applied is adjusted by the strength of the
backwards movement of the cranks.
