3.2.
Checking the battery fitting
Before each ride, check that the battery lock cylinder is latched into position. If the battery is
not locked into place via the lock, it may dislodge during the ride and fall off.
3.3.
Checking the drive
Inadequately secured belt pulleys and guides may dislodge during the ride.
Incorrectly adjusted drive belts may drift out of the pulleys while riding the bike.
Risk of accident and injury!
Always follow all instructions concerning how to work with drive belts, especially
when installing or removing the rear wheel. Extra care is needed to prevent damage
to the drive belt.
Before each ride, check
•
whether the drive belt is properly aligned and taught and the belt pulleys are firmly
screwed on.
•
that the belt guide is correctly installed to prevent the drive belt from skipping and
leaving the rear belt pulley.
3.4.
Checking the function and wear of the brake system
On disc brakes, the pressure point must be stable. When the pressure point is not reached
after two thirds of the way, pull the lever several times ("pumps") until the linings rest
against the disk. When the pressure point wanders during the ride, the braking system must
vented in a specialist workshop.
Before each ride, carry out a brake check while the bike is stationary. To do so, pull the
braking lever towards the handlebars with two fingers and normal braking force. The brake
lever must not touch the handlebar grip.
Brake discs, brake callipers, and quick-release clamps and axle nuts can become
very hot after braking, especially on longer rides. Danger of injury!
Check the braking discs:
•
You should not be able to see any grooves or brake-outs with the naked eye. The
friction surface must be free of oil and dirt.
•
All screws must pre present and have a firm fit.
Check the brake callipers for oil leaks. Make sure the brake cables are kink-free. Check the
seal on the brake cables.
