4. Is the battery tight in its holder and the lock properly
locked up
(a)
? Never set off with a loose and un-
locked battery.
For more information see the system instructions of
your drive manufacturer on this MERIDA CD-ROM.
5. Are the tires in good condition and do they have suf-
ficient pressure? Please note that a pedelec weighs
more and that your usual tire pressure may be insuf-
ficient A higher pressure gives a better riding stability
and reduces the risk of a puncture. The minimum
and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated
on the tire side.
For more information see the chapter “The wheels
and the tires”.

Do not use your MERIDA pedelec, if it fails on
one these points! Riding a defective MERIDA
pedelec can result in serious accidents! If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
MERIDA dealer.
After an accident
1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the
drop-outs
(b)
and whether the rims are still centered
with respect to the frame or fork. Spin the wheels
and observe the gap either between brake pads and
rim sides or between frame and tire. If you have rim
brakes and the width of the gap changes markedly
and you have no way to true the rim where you are,
you need to open the brakes a little with the special
device so that the rim can run between the brake
pads without touching them. Please note that in this
case the brakes may not act as powerfully as you
are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes,
have the wheels trued by your MERIDA dealer im-
mediately after you are back home.
For more information see the chapters “The brake
system”, “How to use the quick-releases” and “The
wheels and the tires” as well as in the instructions of
the component manufacturers on this MERIDA CD-
ROM.
2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent
nor broken and that they are level and upright. Make
sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by trying to
turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel
(c)
.
Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the
handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem.
