CORRECT CHAIN LUBRICATION
Be extremely careful not to let the lu-
bricant go on the brakes or tires of the
bicycle. This can lead to the occurrence of
serious injuries!!

8.3 Maintenance and weekly checks
8.3.1
Washing and cleaning
The cleaning of the pedal-assisted bicycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows you to immediately detect a
possible defect in the same.
In order not to damage or compromise the operation of the various components, especially the electrical parts, cleaning
must be carried out taking some precautions. It is absolutely forbidden to direct jets of pressurized water towards the
electrical parts, the motor and the battery, for which washing with a sponge is recommended.
Before starting the pedal-assisted bicycle, dry completely with low-pressure compressed air and check that there is
no residual moisture left on the electrical components.
8.3.2 Lubrication and chain tension control
It is important to periodically clean and lubricate the chain to avoid corrosion due to weathering.
1. Wipe the entire length of the meshes with a rag.
2. Spray on all meshes a special grease in spray for transmission chains.
8.3.3 Frame and bolt control
The load-bearing frame of the pedal-assisted bicycle and the welds must be free of visible defects such as: cracks, defor-
mations, incisions, corrosions, etc.
Make sure all the bolts of the pedal-assisted bicycle are tightly tightened.
Check the correct tension of the chain by placing the gear-
box in the two different extreme positions allowed by the
sprocket pack.
8.2.3 Brake functioning check
The brakes must be adjusted in such a way as to ensure effective braking and, at the same time, the control levers must
have an adequate stroke to be able to modulate braking: in other words the brakes must not be too slow or too pulled.
Check that brake system discs and pads are not contaminated with oils or soaps. Check the effectiveness of the braking
system on flat terrain and at low speeds. Check annually the wear of the brake pads by going to authorized personnel.
ATTENTION
Brake adjustment should only be carried out by
authorized personnel.
