7.7. Charging the battery
Fully charge the battery before its first use. The battery
capacity upon delivery is generally 30%. The battery can
be charged at any capacity without adversely impacting
its service life. The battery achieves its maximum service
life when it is charged at an ambient temperature of
between +10 °C and +25 °C.
• The battery can be removed for charging but can also
be charged when fitted to the pulling device.
• To charge, connect the battery to the charger delivered
with the product. Remove the rubber bungs from the
charging socket of the battery, then plug the charging
plug into the charging socket and tighten the cap nut.
• Now plug the mains plug of the charger into a socket
• During the charging process, the LED on the charger
will be illuminated in red.
• When the battery is fully charged, the LED on the
charger will change to green.
• The LEDs of the charge status display of the battery
also display the current charge status of the battery.
NOTE:
• Before inserting the plug in the socket, ensure that both
parts are clean and there are no metallic particles on
them. If you detect such particles, use a dry and clean
cloth to remove them.
• During the charging process, the pulling device cannot
be used.
WARNING!
• The charging process ends automatically as soon as
the battery is fully charged. This avoids overcharging.
• Do not leave the charger connected to the mains
socket any longer than necessary.
• When the charging process is complete, disconnect the
charger from the mains socket first before
disconnecting it from the battery.
• Before using the device, always check the charge
status of the battery.
• The battery should be fully charged prior to use in order
to provide motorised support at all times.
• The battery may only be charged in a dry room at
temperatures between 0° and 40° C.
• We recommend charging the battery fully before longer
periods of storage, eg, before a winter break and
re-charge regularly (approx. ever 12 weeks).
7.8 Battery warranty:
Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are
subject to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely
wear out your batteries in 24 months, it will not be
possible to obtain a replacement under warranty.

8.0 Maintenance and troubleshooting
The pulling device is equipped with an 12" or 16" wheel.
With 14" drive wheels, make sure that the tyres are
always at the recommended tyre pressure, as this will
significantly affect the driving characteristics. If the tyre
pressure is too low, movement and manoeuvrability is
made more difficult due to the increased rolling resistance
and this also increases the amount of effort required.
The optimum tyre pressure (usually 3-4 bar) is indicated
on the tyre wall.
8.1. Fitting and repairing the tyre:
NOTE:
•
Switch the battery off and carefully remove it from the
pulling device.
•
Unplug the cable which connects the drive wheel to
the pulling device at the connection. Make sure that
no dirt or moisture can get into the plug and clean the
contacts with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use lubricat-
ing or penetrating oil to clean the contacts.
•
Remove the drive wheel, by undoing the nuts which
are used to screw the drive wheel onto the fork on
both sides and then pull the drive wheel downwards
off the fork.
•
Now pull the tyres off the rim using two plastic tyre
levers.
Before fitting a new inner tube:
Inspect the base of the rim and the tyre inner wall for
foreign bodies and if necessary clean thoroughly
Check the condition of the rim tape, particularly at the
valve hole. Only well fitting, strong rim tape offers long-
term protection against inner tube damage through burrs
and sharp spoke heads.
Fit by following the instructions in reverse order.
DANGER!
Make sure you use the right torque for the wheel nuts
on the left and right of the fork (50 Nm).
After fitting, check the tyre pressure again.
