of your general CUBE handbook
and the enclosed operating instructions.
5. Let your CUBE EPO pedelec bounce on the ground from a small
height. If there is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the
bearings, the bolts and the proper seat of the battery, if neces-
sary.
6. Check the rechargeable battery
(d)
. If the rechargeable battery
is no longer properly in its holder
(e)
or shows any damage, do
not use your CUBE EPO pedelec. A damaged rechargeable bat-
tery can result in the CUBE EPO pedelec being suddenly without
drive. Risk of accident!
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable battery can re-
sult in water or moisture entry which can lead to short circuits or
electric shocks. The rechargeable battery may catch fire or even
explode! In such a case, contact your CUBE dealer immediately.

“rechargeable battery”

3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the
sprockets. If your CUBE EPO pedelec fell over to the chain side,
verify the proper functioning of the gears
(a)
. Ask somebody to lift
the CUBE EPO pedelec by the saddle and carefully shift through
all the gears. Pay particular attention when shifting to the small
gears and make sure the rear derailleur does not get too close to
the spokes as the chain climbs onto the larger sprockets.
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger are bent,
the rear derailleur may collide with the spokes
(b)
. This can result
in damage to the rear derailleur, the rear wheel and the frame.
Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced front de-
railleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of the
CUBE EPO pedelec.
For more information see chapter
“Check crankset and chain”
of your general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating in-
structions.
4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment using the top tube
or the bottom bracket shell as a reference
(c)
. If necessary, open
the clamp, realign the saddle and retighten the clamp.
