10 Cleaning

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
Do not use benzine, thinner, acetone or similar
agents in the cleaning procedures under any cir-
cumstances. Non-neutral cleaning agents can strip
the paint and cause discolouration, deformation,
scratches or defects. Likewise, the use of abrasive
cleaners and aggressive cleaning agents must also
be avoided.
Only use commercially available household clean-
ing agents and disinfectants (isopropyl alcohol) or
water. You can obtain suitable cleaning agents and
additional information from your specialist cycle
shop. We recommend you clean your Pedelec with
a damp cloth, a sponge or a brush.

10.1 Battery

Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike. When wiping down the battery, be careful not to
touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This
could cause a short circuit and the battery to switch off. If
the battery connections are dirty, clean them with a clean,
dry cloth.

10.2 Motor

Dirt should be removed from the motor of your Pedelec
regularly, ideally using a dry brush or a damp (not wet)
cloth. Running water such as that from a hose pipe or even
a high-pressure cleaner must not be used for cleaning.
The ingress of water can destroy the motor. Therefore,
ensure that neither fluids nor moisture enter the motor at
any time during cleaning.
The motor has become too
hot. For example, after riding
up a long, steep incline in a
high gear.

defective
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
after a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If the motor is removed, e.g. for cleaning purposes, it
must not be held or carried by the cables under any cir-
cumstances, as otherwise there is a risk that the cable will
break.
If the motor has been removed from the frame of the Pe-
delec, the plug from the motor and the socket of the cable
leading to the battery must be checked for possible con-
tamination and, if necessary, cleaned carefully with a dry
cloth before reconnecting.

10.3 Display

The housing of the display may only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.

10.4 Control panel

The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth where
necessary.

10.5 Charger

Always remove the plug from the socket before
cleaning the charger. In this way, you avoid a
short-circuit and physical injury.
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
charger.
Allow the motor to cool down before resuming
your journey.
Consult your specialist cycle shop.
