CLEANING
6.8.1. WEAR OF BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to wear, which is originated by the
frictioning of both parts together. Wear depends on driving style, terrain,
weather and surface conditions, and wear of the brake pads cannot be pre-
dicted.
Since brake discs are made of a material with a higher resistance, they must
be exchanged only after exchanging approx. 4 tot 5 brake pad pairs. A regular
inspection of the brake pads every 310.6 miles (500 km) is recommended.
6.8.2. CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS
Brake pads must be changed when they have a width of
» only 0.098 inches (2.5 mm) (height of friction lining incl. carrier plate).
» are in contact with oil (leads to a lower braking performance)
First check the brake pad width visually. If you
suspect that the minimum width is exceeded,
the pads must be dismounted and inspected
with a calliper. Please consult a specialist
workplace for this inspection.
6.9. SETTING THE HEADLIGHT RANGE
Setting the headlight range is subject to the German StVZO.
1
Set the headlamp in such a way that, meas-
ured at 16.4 feet (5 m) from the lamp, the
center of the light cone is situated at a height
equivalent to only half the distance between
the ground and the centre of the lamp.
1 § 67par. 3 StVZO
MAINTENANCE
The inclination of the headlamp is set by
releasing the screw connection on the lamp
holder with an appropriate open-end wrench
and repositioning it according to a new
inclination. Tighten then the nut only to such
extent allowing you to correct with a greater
force manually the lamp according to its
inclination.
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
»
If required, clean the Pedelec with water (but not a water jet!) using a soft
cloth or soft brush.
»
You can also clean the chain with water or a non-abrasive cleaning agent.
Then, lubricate it.
»
With a humid cloth, wipe off the contacts on the battery and the battery holder
on the frame. Wait until the contacts are dry before refixing the battery.
» To prevent corrosion, treat the screws on the Pedelec with a corrosive protec-
tive film, e.g. with a spray wax.
Do not use a water jet, e.g. from a garden hose, since this may lead to
damages on the bearings, Altus 7-Gear Hub, Bosch battery, motor and
display.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages.
Leakage of spray wax or oil onto the brake discs or brake pads will
decrease the braking function.
-> Make sure that spray wax or oil does not leak onto brake discs or
brake pads!
