Maintenance
ATTENTION:
Before carrying out any sort of maintenance, turn off the power switch and remove the ignition key.
Do some test riding and check the unit is riding normally and safely. Always keep your bike clean. For the
battery poles, when dirty, clean them top prevent reduced efficiency or burnt poles. Your E-Bike should
undergo an annual check-up. This will keep it in good working condition.
Adjust chain tension:
The chain may loosen after using the bike for a certain period of time, so please adjust the chain when
necessary:
Loosen the bolts on the rear shaft, if the chain is loose, please adjust the Chain Bolts on both sides in
clockwise until correct. If the chain is too tight, adjust the bolts using counter-clockwise rotation. Keep the
crank gear and wheel gear aligned. If you are not experienced or confident, contact a bike specialist.
Adjusting the brakes:
Correct brake adjustment will make the controls easier and offer greater safety.
The brakes are adjusted in a similar fashion to any standard bicycle. It is important for the brakes to work
correctly and that the electric cut-off devices to be in working order (Electric cable to the brake levers).
Once the brakes have been adjusted, make the wheels turn to ensure there is no binding and check that
when either of the brake levers is pulled, the motor stops working.
Lubrication:
For a long service life the following parts of your E-Bike should be regularly lubricated every half year:
•
Front axle
•
Chain
•
Rear axle
•
Freewheel
•
Front fork and other rotation parts.
For electrical parts, you do not need to lubricate them because they are lubricated in the factory. If you
find anything wrong, please go to a bicycle specialist or contact Fortis.
Cleaning:
The bike should be cleaned with a damp sponge, taking special care not to get electrical parts wet
(Battery connection, motor (rear axle), electric cables, handlebar controls, etc.). Dry with a cloth. When
cleaning your electric bike, do not use a steady direct stream of water from a hose. Use a cloth to avoid
short-circuiting any electrical components. Your electric bike has a durable finish and does not need to be
waxed. Clean with a mild detergent and buff to restore its original shine if needed.
