Cleaning The Motor And Smmi; Motor; Smmi Unit; Transportation - Quickie Attitude Directions For Use Manual

Cleaning the motor and sMMI:

When cleaning the device, never use cleaning benzine,
thinner, acetone or similar agents. Never use abrasive
detergents or aggressive cleaning agents. Instead, use
only conventional household cleaning agents and
disinfectants (isopropyl alcohol).

Motor:

•• Your add-on bike motor should be regularly cleaned of
dirt, ideally with a dry brush or a damp (not wet) cloth.
Never clean the motor under running water, for example
a garden hose or even a high-pressure water jet.
However, travelling in the rain and on wet lanes is entirely
possible.
•• Water ingress can destroy the motor. Therefore always
ensure that liquid or moisture does not get into the motor.
•• Do not clean the motor when it is warm, for instance,
immediately after a trip. Wait until it has cooled down.
Otherwise this could cause damage.
•• If the motor is dismantled, for example for cleaning
purposes, it must never be held or transported over the
cables which would run the risk of the cable breaking.
•• If the motor has been removed from the add-on bike
(see section 4.1), the plug from the motor and the socket
of the cable to the battery pack need to be checked for
any contamination or cleaned before connecting.

sMMI Unit:

•• The contacts of the sMMI dock are spring loaded and
from time to time cleaned with a contact spray to ensure
they function perfectly and for a long time.
•• The sMMI housing may only be cleaned using a damp
(not wet) cloth.
Attitude/Attitude Hybrid Rev.1.0

Transportation:

The following information needs to be noted when
transporting the Attitude by car.
•• Protect all components of your Attitude against
moisture and dirt by suitable means.
•• Remove the battery and the sMMI from the bicycle
before you attach the Attitude to the bicycle rack of your
car. This also reduces the weight that you need to lift,
particularly when using a roof rack system.
•• Always transport the battery and the sMMI inside your
car.
•• Even when transporting inside the car (e.g. in an
estate car), the sMMI and battery should be removed to
avoid damage occurring when loading and during the
journey.
•• If you have a roof carrier system with down tube
clamps ensure that when tightening the clamping device,
the battery mounting slide rail is not crushed/damaged.
•• Ensure that the ends of the cables cannot cause
damage to the Attitude or your car during transportation.
•• After reaching your destination check all the Attitude's
contacts for possible foreign bodies or moisture. To
ensure reliable function all plug connections in particular
must be free from dirt and foreign bodies and be
completely dry.
•• Never lay your Attitude on the gear box side during
transportation, for example in a car boot. This could be
damaged.

Safety precautions:

•• When not in use, do not expose your add-on bike to
strong sunlight for long periods of time. This could cause
the motor to heat up and in an extreme case, not be able
to operate at full power. Even plastic parts age quicker
under intense sunlight.
•• If increased temperatures (caused for instance by
uninterrupted vehicle operation or downtime as a result
of continuous, direct sunlight), cause system downtime,
leave the motor to cool down for about 10 minutes before
continuing your journey.
•• The maximum speed (non-motorised operation) of the
system is 75 km/h. Exceeding this speed compromises
the electronic components which could be damaged in
the worst-case scenario. The maximum speed is logged
by the system.
