Translation of the original operating instructions
1. Check the rechargeable battery
[a]
. If the re-
chargeable battery is no longer properly in its
holder or shows any damage, do not use your
Velo de Ville EPAC any longer, at least not in the
assistance mode. Switch off the motor/drive
unit and the battery separately, if necessary.
A damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit
resulting in a sudden failure of the assistance
of the Velo de Ville EPAC right at the moment
when you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the recharge-
able battery can result in water or moisture en-
try which can lead to short circuits or electric
shocks. The rechargeable battery may catch fire
or even explode! In such a case, contact your
Velo de Ville dealer immediately.
2. Check the display
[b]
. Are all values displayed as
usual? Do not use your Velo de Ville EPAC, if the
display shows an error message or a warning.
If necessary, switch off the system and wait ten
seconds at least before you check it again.
Do not set off on your Velo de Ville EPAC with
motor assistance when a warning is displayed.
In such a case, contact your Velo de Ville dealer
immediately.
More information is provided in the system in-
structions of the drive system manufacturer, e.g.

3. Check that the wheels are still firmly fixed in
the dropouts
[c]
and that the rims are still cen-
tred with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the
wheels and observe the gap either between
frame and tyre or between brake pads and rim
sides.
If the width of the gap changes markedly and
you have no way to true the wheel where you
are, you will need to release the rim brakes a lit-
tle so that the rim can run between the brake
pads without touching them. Note that in this
case the brakes may not act as powerfully as
you are used to.
For more information see the chapters
“How to
use quick-release systems”
,
“Brake system”
and
“Wheels and tyre equipment”
of your
general Velo de Ville user manual and the en-
closed operating instructions.
