SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please read all safety instructions carefully.
Failure to comply with the warnings or to take residual risks into ac-
count may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep the operating instructions in a safe place and have them readily available to consult.
Pass these instructions
on if you provide your e-bike for someone else’s use.
When used in these operating instructions, the word “battery” refers to all original FIT e-bike batteries.
3.2
CHARGER
Do not expose the charger to rain or damp. If water penetrates into a charger, there is a risk of electric shock.
Charge FIT Li-ion batteries approved for e-bikes with the FIT charger only. The battery voltage must match the
charger’s battery charge voltage; there is a risk of fire and explosion if it does not. Keep the charger clean. Dirt
can pose an electric shock hazard.
Check charger, cable and connector before use. Do not use the charger if you spot any damage. Do not open up the
charger. Damaged chargers, cables and plug connectors increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not use the charger on a highly flammable surface (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in flammable surroundings. There
is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during charging.
Take care if you touch the charger during charging. Wear protective gloves. The charger can become extremely hot,
particularly at high ambient temperatures.
The e-bike battery must not be left unattended while it is charging.
Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. You must ensure that children do not play with the charger.
Children and persons who are not able to use the charger safely due to their limited physical, sensory, or mental capa-
bilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge must not use it unsupervised or without instruction by a responsible
person. If not, there is a risk of incorrect use and injury.
3.3
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Remove the battery from the e-bike before you start working on the e-bike (e.g. inspection, repair, fitting, mainte-
nance, work on the chain), transport it by car or plane or if you are not going to use it for extended period of time.
There is a risk of injury if the e-bike system is activated unintentionally.
Do not open up the battery as you risk causing a short circuit.
Protect the battery from heat (e.g. including continuous direct sunlight), fire and being submerged in water. Do not
store or operate the battery in close proximity to hot or flammable objects as this pose a risk of explosion.
Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other metal objects which could cause
an electrical arc between the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts can cause fire or burns.
Avoid any physical loads on the battery. They may inflict damage to the battery cells and cause flammable substances
to leak out.
Do not put the charger and battery down next to flammable materials. Only charge batteries when they are dry and
in a fireproof place. There is a risk of fire due to heat accumulating during charging.
The e-bike battery must not be left unattended while it is charging.
