Transportation
4.3.1
Using the brake transport securing
system
Applicable for pedelec disc brakes only
.
Insert the
transport securing devices
between
the brake linings.
Transport securing device is squeezed
between the two linings and prevents
undesired sustained braking which can cause
brake fluid to leak out.

4.3.2
Transporting the pedelec
Bicycle rack systems which use the handlebars or
frame to hold the pedelec in an upside-down
position exert inadmissible forces on its
components during transportation. This can cause
the supporting parts to break.
Never use bicycle rack systems which use the
pedelec's handlebars or frame to hold it in an
upside-down position. The specialist dealer will
give a consultation on correct selection and
safe use of a rack system.
Take into account the weight of the ready-to-
use pedelec when transporting it.
Protect the electrical components and
connections on the pedelec from the weather
conditions with suitable protective covers.
Transport the battery in a dry, clean position
where it is protected from direct sunlight.
4.3.3
Shipping a pedelec
When shipping the pedelec, we recommend
that you have the specialist dealer place it in
proper packaging.
4.3.4
Transporting the battery
Batteries
are subject to hazardous goods
regulations. Undamaged batteries may be
transported by private persons in road traffic.
Commercial transport requires compliance with
regulations concerning packaging, labelling and
the transportation of hazardous goods. Open
contacts must be covered and the battery
securely packaged.
4.3.5
Shipping the battery
The battery is considered a hazardous good and
only trained persons may pack and ship a battery.
Contact specialist dealer.
Crash caused by unintentional activation
There is a risk of injury if the drive system is
activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery.
Oil leak if no transport securing device
The brake securing device prevents the brakes
from being applied accidentally during
transportation or shipment. This could cause
irreparable damage to the brake system or an oil
leak, which will harm the environment.
Never push the brake lever when the wheel
has been dismounted.
Always use the transport securing system
when transporting or shipping.
