Stromer ST2 Operating Manual page 12

It is also necessary for you to check the following
components of your S-pedelec:
• Check that the battery box is safely closed with
the battery inside.
• Check the charging state of the battery to en-
sure that the charge is sufficient for the drive
planned.
• Familiarize yourself with the functions of the
operating element.
Always squeeze the brakes of your pedelec
before you place a foot on the pedal! The motor
starts propelling as you step on the pedal. This
boost is unusual and can lead to falls or cause
dangerous traffic accidents.
Setting up the position of the handlebars/
stem
Consider that not every stem is suitable for
every steer tube when retrofitting your pedelec!
Only use Stromer stems. Only allow Stromer deal-
ers to work on your handlebars and stem!

Installing pedals
If your pedelec was supplied without the pedals
pre-installed, these have to be attached with the
correct wrench. Please note that the pedals have
to be screwed on in different directions and se-
cured with a high mounting torque (see page 68).
Apply assembly grease to both threads.
Direction
Ensure that you have read the manufactur-
er's instructions before using step-in or clipless
pedals.
Practice clipping your shoes in and out of the ped-
als' locking system before your first ride in a quiet,
safe place. Clipless pedals which do not properly
release are a safety hazard.
In the case of step-in pedals, you are able to
adjust how much force is required to release the
shoe from the pedal. Please test this on your first
ride with a setting that releases easily! Regularly
clean your step-in pedals and keep them in good
condition with a suitable spray lubricant.
Setting up the seating position
Before you use your Stromer S-pedelec for the first
time, the seating position has to be set up to suit
your body size. This is vital for riding safely and
securely.
To do this, the seat's height, alignment and angle
have to be set up, as do the height and alignment
of the handlebars with the stem.
