Fig. 10: LEDs during charging
The following table shows the LED display [5]
of the battery during the charging process. If an
error occurs during the charging process, all LEDs
light up. Check whether all criteria (e.g. ambient
temperature, correctly attached charging plug, etc.)
for the charging process are fulfilled in accordance
with this and the instructions for use enclosed
with the charger are fulfilled. Do not leave the
charger connected to the power supply for longer
than is necessary for the charging process. After
the charging process, first disconnect the charger
from the mains socket and then from the battery.
Always check the charge status of the battery
before starting to drive. The battery should be
fully charged before the start of the journey in
order to have the motor support available at all
times. The battery may only be charged in a dry
room at temperatures between 0° and a maximum
of 40 °Celsius. Observe the instructions in the
operating manual enclosed with the charger.
Observe the safety and warning instructions for the
battery in chapters 2.1 to 2.5 of these operating

8 Repair, cleaning and
maintenance
Never use benzene, thinner, acetone or similar
agents for any cleaning processes. Likewise, do
not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents.
Instead, use only commercially available household
cleaning agents and disinfectants (isopropanol).
8.1 Motor
The motor of your handbike should be regularly
cleaned of dirt, preferably with a dry brush or a
damp (not wet) cloth. Cleaning should not be done
with running water such as a water hose or even a
high-pressure cleaner. However, driving in the rain
and on wet roads is possible without any problems.
Penetrating water can destroy the engine. When
cleaning, therefore, always ensure that neither
liquids nor moisture penetrate the engine.
Do not clean the engine when it is warm, e.g.
directly after a journey. Wait until it has cooled
down. Otherwise, damage may occur.
If the motor is removed, e.g. for cleaning purposes,
it must not be held or transported by the cables
under any circumstances, otherwise there is a risk
of cable breakage.
If the motor has been removed from the frame of
the handbike, the plug of the motor and the socket
of the cable to the battery pack must be checked
or cleaned with regard to possible contamination
before assembly.
8.2 sMMI Connect
The contacts of the sMMI dock are spring-loaded
and should be cleaned from time to time with
a contact spray to ensure their proper and
long-lasting function.
The sMMI housing may only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.
