Operation
6.16.2 Using the hub gear
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
.
Figure 80: Example; Shimano Nexus gear shift: Twist grip (1)
for the hub gear with its screen (3), the direction of rotation to
switch up a gear (2) and the direction of rotation to switch
down a gear (4)
Turn the twist grip.
The gear shift switches the gear.
The number on the screen display shows the
changed gear.
Crash caused by incorrect use
If the rider applies too much pressure on the
pedals during a gear change and activates the
shifter or changes several gears at a time, their
feet may slip from the pedals. As a result, the
pedelec may flip over or fall, which may cause
injury.
Switching down several gears to a low gear may
cause the twist grip outer sleeve to suddenly
come off. This will not have an adverse effect on
the twist grip's correct functioning since the outer
guide returns to its original position after the gear
change is complete.
Apply little pressure on the pedals while changing
gears.
Never change more than one gear at a time.
Notice
The interior hub is not completely waterproof. If
water gets into the hub, it may rust and the gear
switch function may no longer function as a result.
Never use the pedelec in places where water
may get into the hub.
In rare cases, noises may be heard from the rear
derailleur in the hub interior after a gear change.
This is normal when gears are changed.
Do not detach the hub. If you need to detach it,
contact your dealer.
