factory. Over time, use and even shipping could cause nuts and bolts to become loose. Below is a chart on the torque
settings in Lb per Inch for the common parts of the Storm. They have also been converted to Lb per Foot and NM.

Chapter 8: Battery Management
This section describes your battery and similar to Chapter 3,
section o. ―Charging your battery‖ but goes into further detail.
a)
About your battery
The Li-ion battery system of the Storm is the latest technology with a LiFEPO4 chemistry. This battery is maintenance free with
no serviceable parts. You must never open the battery as this will void the warranty. Each battery has a specific serial number
and barcode which can be found on the underside of the battery. Please read the warning labels on your battery.
b)
Removing the battery
The Storm battery removes easily for charging or storing. The battery base utilizes an ignition key to lock the battery in place and
to avoid theft. The battery will not power the bicycle unless locked in place. There are 3 points on the ignition for the key. There is
the ―UNLOCK‖ position which allows the battery to be removed and the key can slide in and out. There is the ―OFF‖ position which
locks the battery in place, the key can be slid out but the bicycle is not powered. The last position
is the ―ON‖ position. The bicycle
is now powered ON, the battery is locked and the key is in and cannot slide out.
