Service And Maintenance - Centurion Backfire E 640.27 Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

Service and maintenance

Your CENTURION dealer will have assembled and
adjusted your CENTURION pedelec ready for use
when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your
CENTURION pedelec needs regular servicing (e).
Have your local CENTURION dealer do the sched-
uled maintenance work. This is the only way to en-
sure that all components function safely and reliably
for many miles.
Your CENTURION pedelec will be due for its first
service after 100 to 300 kilometers, three to six
weeks or five to fifteen hours of initial use. The bed-
ding-in phase typically involves safety-relevant bolt-
ed connections and spokes slightly losing tension
or gears coming out of adjustment, so there is every
reason to have your CENTURION dealer service the
CENTURION pedelec at this stage.
This bedding-in process is unavoidable. There-
fore, remember to make an appointment with your
CENTURION dealer to have your new CENTURION
pedelec inspected. The first service is very im-
portant for both functioning and durability of your
CENTURION pedelec.
It is advisable to have your CENTURION pedelec
serviced regularly by your CENTURION dealer after
the bedding-in phase. If your bicycle does harder ser-
vice, because you ride a great deal on poor road sur-
faces, it will require correspondingly shorter service
intervals. The off-season during the winter months is
a very good time to take your CENTURION pedelec
to your CENTURION dealer for the annual inspection,
e
as they will have plenty of time for you and for ser-
vicing.
The intended use of the CENTURION pedelec in-
cludes regular servicing and the replacement of worn
out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads or Bowden
and brake cables (f), and therefore has an influence
on the warranty and the guarantee, as well.

In addition, your CENTURION dealer can install up-
dates for the systems by means of which new energy
saving riding programs can be loaded allowing longer
ranges.
Keep in mind that the drive assistance can increase
the wearing. This applies to the rear wheel and in the
case of middle motors to the chain (g).
