Handling the battery

 

Do not deform, modify, disassemble or apply solder 
directly to the battery. Doing so may cause leakage, 
overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery.

 

Do not leave the battery near sources of heat such as heaters. 
Doing so may cause bursting or ignition of the battery.

 

Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire. Doing so 

may cause bursting or ignition of the battery.

 

Do not subject the battery to strong shocks or throw it. If 
this is not observed, overheating, bursting, or fire may 
occur.

 

Do not place the battery into fresh water or sea water, 
and do not allow the battery terminals to get wet. Doing 
so may cause overheating, bursting, or ignition of the 
battery.

 

Use the SHIMANO specified charger and observe the 
specified charging conditions when charging the 
specified battery. Not doing so may cause overheating, 
bursting, or ignition of the battery.

WARNING

 

Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may 
cause the product to not operate correctly, and you may 
suddenly fall and be seriously injured.

Riding precautions

 

Do not to pay excessive attention to the cycle computer 
display while riding. 
Doing so can cause an accident such as a fall.

 

Check that the wheels are securely installed to the bicycle 
before commencing riding. If the wheels are not securely 
installed, the bicycle may fall over and cause serious 
injury.

 

If riding a power-assisted bicycle, make sure that you are 
fully familiar with the starting-off characteristics of the 
bicycle before riding it on roads with several vehicle lanes 
and pedestrian footpaths. If the bicycle starts off 
suddenly, accidents may result.

 

Confirm that the light works before riding.

Safety precautions

 

Be sure to remove the battery and charging cable before 
wiring or attaching parts to the bicycle. Failure to do so 
may cause an electric shock.

 

When charging the battery while it is installed on the 
bicycle, do not move the bicycle. The power plug for the 
battery charger may come loose and not be fully inserted 
into the electrical outlet, resulting in risk of fire.

 

Do not touch the drive unit when it has been 
continuously used for a long period of time. The surface 
of the drive unit becomes hot and could cause burns.

 

Periodically clean the chain using an appropriate chain 
cleaner. The frequency of maintenance will vary 
depending on the riding conditions.
