7.6. Detaching the battery

• The battery can be removed for charging or as
protection against theft.
• In order to prevent unauthorised removal of the battery,
the battery is fixed to the battery bracket with a lock.
• The battery can be removed as follows:
○ Switch the battery off (see "Switching the battery on
and off").
○ Open the lock using the key. To do this insert the
key into the lock and then rotate it 90° anti-clockwise
until it reaches the stop. Keep it in this position.
○ The battery can now be tipped to the right (in the
direction of travel). To do this hold the battery at the
top and push it to the side.
• To fit, insert the lower part of the battery into the floor
plate of the battery bracket, then push the upper part of
the battery gently against the battery bracket and push
to the left (in the direction of travel) until the battery
clicks into the battery bracket.
NOTE:
• The pulling device is delivered with two identical keys.
Always store the keys separately and make a note of
the key number.

7.7. Charging the battery

Fully charge the battery before its first use. The battery
capacity upon delivery is generally 30%. The battery can
be charged at any capacity without adversely impacting
its service life. The battery achieves its maximum service
life when it is charged at an ambient temperature of
between +10 °C and +30 °C.
• The battery can be removed for charging but can also
be charged when fitted to the pulling device.
• To charge, connect the battery to the charger delivered
with the product. Remove the rubber bungs from the
charging socket of the battery, then plug the charging
plug into the charging socket and tighten the cap nut.
• Now plug the mains plug of the charger into a socket
• During the charging process, the LED on the charger
will be illuminated in red.
• When the battery is fully charged, the LED on the
charger will change to green.
• The LEDs of the charge status display of the battery
also display the current charge status of the battery.
NOTE:
• Before inserting the plug in the socket, ensure that both
parts are clean and there are no metallic particles on
them. If you detect such particles, use a dry and clean
cloth to remove them.
• During the charging process, the pulling device cannot
be used.
WARNING!
• The charging process ends automatically as soon as
the battery is fully charged. This avoids overcharging.
• Do not leave the charger connected to the mains
socket any longer than necessary.
• When the charging process is complete, disconnect the
charger from the mains socket first before
disconnecting it from the battery.
• Before using the device, always check the charge
status of the battery.
• The battery should be fully charged prior to use in order
to provide motorised support at all times.
• The battery may only be charged in a dry room at
temperatures between 0° and 40° C.
• We recommend charging the battery fully before longer
periods of storage, eg, before a winter break and
re-charge regularly (approx. ever 12 weeks).

7.8 Battery warranty:

Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are
subject to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely
wear out your batteries in 12 months, it will not be
possible to obtain a replacement under warranty.
