Notes On The Assembly From The Bikeguard - Canyon Pedelec Manual

18 ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
NOTES ON THE
ASSEMBLY FROM THE
BIKEGUARD
The assembly from the BikeGuard is no witch-
craft, but you should proceed with care and delib-
eration. Unprofessional assembly can render the
pedelec unsafe.
First we would like to make you familiar with the
components of your pedelec.
Unfold the front cover of your Manual Pedelec.
Here you will find the illustration of a pedelec
showing all the essential components. Keep this
page folded out while you are reading. This means
that you can quickly find the component that is
being referred to in the text.
The illustration shows an arbitrary pedelec – this
is not what every pedelec will look like.
For more detailed information on the assembly
of your Canyon pedelec, also see the Quick Start
Guide.
Do not work on the bike itself with a box
cutter. You may damage the component
or hurt yourself. Be sure to use scissors where
needed.
When using a suitable workstand clamp
your pedelec only at the seat post or
with a suspension device at the saddle and
handlebar.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON PEDELEC ASSEMBLY
Your pedelec was completely assembled and ad-
justed at the factory. The pedelec is fully func-
tional without any further adjustments after com-
pletion of the assembly steps explained further
below. After carrying out assembly work, always
do a test ride in an unfrequented place or on a
quiet road.
The Quick Start Guide contains only a brief de-
scription of the assembly. If you are neither skilled
nor experienced in this kind of work, read the
following pages and the more detailed chapters
in your comprehensive world-specific Canyon
bicycle manual; also observe the instructions of
the component manufacturers on their respective
websites or at www.canyon.com
Before your first ride, carry out the checks de-
scribed in the chapter "Before every ride".
It is best to use a workstand expressly suitable for
e-bikes/pedelecs or to ask a helper to hold your
pedelec while you assemble it.
Do not clamp carbon frames or seat
posts in the holding jaws of a work-
stand! This could damage the frame or the
seat post. Mount a sturdy (aluminium) seat
post instead and use this to clamp the frame,
or use an assembly workstand that holds the
frame at three points inside the frame triangle
or clamps the fork and bottom bracket shell.
USING THE CANYON TORQUE WRENCH
At Canyon we regard the use of a torque wrench
as essential to ensure that two parts can be fixed
together securely and safely.
Exceeding the maximum torque value at the
clamping bolts (e.g. at the stem, seat post or seat
post clamp) leads to an excessively high clamping
force. This can cause the component to fail and
hence there is a high associated risk of accidents.
In addition, the product guarantee would be null
and void in such a case. Too loose or overtightened
screws or bolts can cause a failure and hence lead
to an accident. Always observe strictly the torque
values indicated by Canyon.
ASSEMBLY FROM THE BIKEGUARD
Put the matching bit into the holder of the Canyon
torque wrench.
Insert the Allen key fully into the bolt head.
Slowly turn the handle of the Canyon torque
wrench. When the bolt is tightened, the pointer
moves over the scale. Stop the turning movement
as soon as the pointer reaches the marking of the
prescribed torque value.
Assemble your Canyon by using the
Canyon torque wrench enclosed with
the BikeGuard.
