Safety guidelines
WARNING
There is a risk of danger, if the safety instructions are not observed.
Non-observance of safety information and instructions can lead to an electrical
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Injuries or damage is also possible as a result of dangerous reactions of chemical
substances that leak from the rechargeable battery resulting from non-observance
of the safety instructions.
Please observe all safety information and instructions both in these
and in all other instructions included with the E-Bike.
CAUTION: Risk of injury if the E-Bike system is activated
unintentionally. Before working on the E-Bike (e.g. assembly,
maintenance, working on the chain etc.), or transporting or storing it,
please remove the rechargeable battery from the E-Bike.
CAUTION: Risk of injury when using the pushing aid without the
wheels touching the floor. Only use the pushing aid when pushing the
E-Bike.
Risk of short circuits! Do not open, dismantle or chop up the
rechargeable battery. Opening the rechargeable battery will invalidate
the warranty.
Risk of explosion! Protect the rechargeable battery from heat (e.g. also
from permanent exposure to sunlight), fire and submersion into water.
Risk of burns and fire caused by short circuits! Keep small metal
objects (e.g. paper clips, nails, screws, keys etc.) away from the
rechargeable battery. These could bridge the contacts. All warranty
claims toward BMZ will become invalid in case of short circuit damage
resulting from this.
Risk of skin irritation or burns from leaking fluids: if used incorrectly,
fluid can leak from the rechargeable battery. Avoid contact with this.
In case of accidental contact, rinse the affected areas with water. If the
fluid comes into contact with mucous membranes (e.g. eyes), please
seek medical attention immediately.
Do not expose the rechargeable battery to mechanical impacts. There
is a risk of damage to the rechargeable battery.
The risk of short circuits and fire or an electrical shock is higher, if a
damaged rechargeable battery is used. Never continue to use a faulty
or damaged rechargeable battery.
Vapours may irritate the respiratory organs. Vapours may be created if
the rechargeable battery is damaged or used incorrectly. Let in fresh
air and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Risk of fire due to use of other chargers. Only charge the rechargeable
battery with the charger supplied with the E-Bike system.
