MAINTENANCE AND A FEW
SIMPLE TESTS
In normal operation, the Rodriquez Shift-E Transmission should not
require adjustments during its lifetime. However, the transmission
does require some care and maintenance. In addition, you can
perform a few simple tests to determine the health of your
transmission.
Maintenance
A new Shift-E system should have a routine maintenance check
at R&E Cycles or by an authorized Shift-E service shop at the end
of the first season or after the first 1,000 miles, whichever comes
first.
Load the battery compartment with new AAA Lithium batteries,
following the instructions in "Installing the Batteries". Keep the
battery terminals clean. Corrosion on the battery terminals will
stop the operation of the transmission.
•
The Rodriquez Shift-E Transmission will operate in rain and
muddy conditions and does not have to be pampered, it is good
practice to periodically wash the whole bicycle with a garden
hose. Do not use a high-pressure sprayer.
*Every time the ”up” button or the “down” button is pushed,
the Gear Selector responds with a “clicking” sound. This is an
indication the mechanism is working as it should. You can check
the Shifter/Gear Selector/ECU function by pressing the "up" or
"down" button and listening for the click. If no clicking is heard,
check for loose connections in the cables; then check the
batteries.
