B-3.1.3 eBike L: Replace Saddle Motor

Troubleshooting:
Before replacing the saddle motor make sure that the
motor is actually defective.
For this check, switch the hexagon socket of the saddle
motor from channel 2 to channel 1.
If the motor does not work, it is out of order and must be
replaced. If the motor works, the motor control unit or
the hand switch is defective.
Before you can replace the saddle motor, the connection
box and the casing must be removed first.
Then follow these steps to replace the saddle motor:
1. Loosen both hexagon socket screws a. of the
saddle guide.
2. Remove pin b. with self-locking screw.
3. Disconnect plug of cable c. at motor control
(connector 2. in illustration). To do so, first turn
jack plug counterclockwise as far as possible
(e.g. using a suitable fork wrench), then pull
out the jack plug.
Open cable tie and pull cable towards the saddle
motor.
Note:
To facilitate pulling in the new saddle motor cable,
attach a draw rope to the cable of the old saddle
motor.
Note:
When mounting the new saddle motor, secure the
motor control connection cable with a cable tie d.,
as shown in the illustration.
