After An Accident - haibike XDURO Owner's Manual

After an accident

Changing the components on your bike
with other than genuine replacement
parts may compromise the safety of
your bicycle and may void the warranty.
Check with your dealer before changing
the components on your bike.
Choking hazard: Some bicycle acces-
sories may present a choking hazard to
small children. Keep these accessories
away from small children.
After an accident
After an accident, you must consider
your bike unsafe to ride until you follow
the instructions in this section. Failure
to follow the instructions in this section
could lead to component failure, injury,
or death.
Before performing ANY service, inspec-
tion, or maintenance on your electric
bicycle, you should first remove the bat-
tery. Failure to remove the battery could
lead to the bicycle turning on unexpect-
edly, causing serious damage or injury.
If you have to perform maintenance that
requires the battery to be installed, you
must be sure that even if the bicycle
wheel, chain, or other drivetrain com-
ponents begin moving unexpectedly,
they will not be in a position to cause
injury or damage.

5 Safety indd
 Be sure to read, understand, and comply
with the drive system user manual. Do
not disassemble or attempt to service
components unless explicitly allowed by
the manufacturer.
 Check the rechargeable battery. If the
rechargeable battery is no longer prop-
erly in its holder or shows any damage,
do not use your bike any longer, at least
not in assistance mode. Switch off the
motor and the battery separately, if nec-
essary. A damaged battery can lead to
a short-circuit or a sudden failure of the
electric assistance right at the moment
when you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the
rechargeable battery can result in the
entry of water or moisture and that can
lead to short circuits or electric shocks.
The rechargeable battery could catch fire
or even explode! In such a case contact
your bicycle dealer immediately.
 Check whether the wheels are still firmly
fixed in the dropouts and whether the
rims are still centered with respect to
the frame or fork. Spin the wheels and
observe the gap either between the
frame and tire or between the brake
pads and rim sides.
If the width of the gap changes markedly
and you have no way to true the wheel
where you are, you will need to release
the rim brake a little so that the rim can run
between the brake pads without touching
them. Please note that in this case the
brakes may not act as powerfully as you
are used to.
