After An Accident - Centurion Backfire E 640.27 Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

After an accident

1. Check the rechargeable battery (e+f). If the
rechargeable battery is no longer properly in its
holder or shows any damage, do not use your
CENTURION pedelec any longer, at least not in
the assistance mode. Switch off the drive and the
rechargeable battery separately, if necessary. A
damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit re-
sulting in a sudden failure of the CENTURION
pedelec assistance right at the moment when
you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable
battery can result in water or moisture entry which
can lead to short circuits or electric shocks. The
rechargeable battery may catch fire or even ex-
plode! In such a case, contact your CENTURION
dealer immediately.
For more information see the system instruc-
tions of your drive manufacturer on the enclosed
CENTURION CD-ROM.
2. Check that all values are displayed properly and
fully on the drive HMI (g)
use your CENTURION pedelec, if the drive HMI
shows an error message or a warning. In the
case of critical errors the system switches off au-
tomatically. In the case of non-critical errors the
system may be still operable.
or the display. Do not
Do not set off on your CENTURION pedelec
when the drive HMI or the display shows a warn-
ing. In such a case, contact your CENTURION
dealer immediately.

tions of your drive manufacturer on the enclosed

3. Let your CENTURION pedelec bounce on the
ground from a small height. If there is any rattling,
see where it comes from. Check the bearings,
the bolts and the proper seat of the battery, if
necessary.
4. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in
the drop-outs (h) and whether the rims are still
f
centered with respect to the frame or fork. Spin
the wheels and observe the gap either between
brake pads and rim sides or between frame and
tire. If the width of the gap changes markedly
and you have no way to true the rim where you
are, you will need to open the rim brake a little by
means of the special mechanism so that the rim
can run between the brake pads without touch-
ing them. Please note that in this case the brakes
g
may not act as powerfully as you are used to.
No matter whether you have rim or disc brakes,
have the wheels trued by your CENTURION deal-
er immediately after you are back home.
