6.3 Maintenance
For reasons of user safety and to maintain product liability, maintenance
needs to be carried out every 1000 km, however at least once a year, by
a specialist dealer (see
Point 9.5
). The maintenance work carried out must
be documented in the maintenance plan (see
Point 6.3.2
). The electric dri-
ve (incl. battery pack) does not require maintenance if used properly and
carefully.
