The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the rider’s ear is less than 70 dB(A). CAUTION Using the electrically power assisted cycle All users must have read and understood the instructions and information outlined in the manual. If, during assembly, any factory defects are detected, certain steps are unclear or issues with assembly or adjustments occur, do not ride the vehicle and contact your dealer or visit www.argentobike.it for for technical support.

It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the devices used for passenger transport in terms of construction characteristics, safety systems, anchoring systems and their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle based on its structure and within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack supplied, if present).

Any other types of use, or any extensions of use beyond the one intended, do not correspond to the intended use attributed by the manufacturer and the latter, therefore, disclaims all liability for any resulting damage. The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road...

• Use the electrically power assisted cycle in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.). • Use the electrically power assisted cycle in poorly lit areas. • Ride across or remain on uneven or rough ground (bumpy roads with potholes, depressions, obstacles, etc.) to avoid the risk of falls and injury to the rider and damage to the bike.

5. Assembly Carefully remove the bike from the packaging* and remove the protective material taking care not to damage the relevant aesthetic parts or force the cables and pre-assembled components. *The bike must be removed from the packaging by two adults to ensure that it is not damaged and avoid the risk of injury and/or crushing.

Handlebar stem plate assembly/disassembly instructions for handlebar installation/removal (if necessary) Remove the handlebar stem from the top end of the handlebar attachment as follows: Remove the screw number 1 and then the lever number 2. Then, remove the metal plate 3 and lastly, remove the metal plate 4 by sliding it sideways.

Maximum insertion seat post insertion limit For structural reasons, to prevent the risk of damage and to allow proper operation of the spring-loaded rear shock absorber that connects the saddle column tube and the vertical frame sheath, it is strictly not recommended to insert the seatpost groove beyond the lower limit of the column tube until any contact, or proximity of contact, with the shock absorber.

CAUTION Battery key set The electrically power assisted cycle is exclusively equipped with 2 keys uniquely associated with the key lock located on the battery installed on the product to allow locking and/or unlocking by extraction. Identify the keys on the bike, located near the handlebar or attached to another component of the electrically power assisted cycle (frame or battery), taking care that they do not get mislaid.

Release the handlebar stem closing mechanism by opening the locking device. Release the handlebar stem closing mechanism by opening the locking device. Turn the lever locking device (A) in the frame opening/closing mechanism in an anticlockwise direction. Pull the lever (B) outwards until the locking hook (C) can be extracted from its seat (D).
6. Display The electrically power assisted cycle has a control device on the handlebar, LCD display, powered by the battery supplied with the bike which controls all the bike’s electrical and electronic functions. • LCD display - CDC13-BT Overview of controls and symbols Indicator light for light ON 2.

Switching the light on/off Press the ON/OFF button quickly to turn the front light (and rear light, if applicable) on and off. Viewing data (AVG - MAX - TRIP - ODO) The data available on speed (AVG and MAX) and distance (TRIP and ODO) will be displayed alternately and automatically in sequence: AVG - MAX - TRIP - ODO.

Function description Display on/off Press the ON/OFF button for at least 1 second to switch the display on or off. Selecting the assisted pedalling level Press + or - button to increase or decrease the level of selected assisted pedalling. The display is pre-configured to offer the user 5 different assisted pedalling levels (variable values from 1 to 5).
Page 18
Indicator light for residual battery charge The battery charge level is shown on the display screen as a number of dashes between 0 and 5. If there are 5 dashes, it means that the battery is charged to the maximum percentage defined and detected instantly. Less dashes are shown to indicate a decrease in the battery charge level available and subsequent autonomy.
SL - Speed limiter: press the + or - buttons to increase or decrease the set speed limit (from 10 to 100). CAUTION In compliance with the requirements of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the pedal assistance provided by the electric motor supplied with the product will automatically be cut off when a speed of 25 km/h is reached, even a higher value has been set.

Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible and is not covered by the limited warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot be recharged (the battery must not be dismantled by unqualified personnel, as this could lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents).
8. First use Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle, in addition to verifying the state of charge and correct installation of the battery, to allow an adequate start-up and ensure efficient and safe use of the product, it is always appropriate to carefully check each part by carrying out the necessary adjustment of the related mechanical components, directly or with the support of specialized operators, see: adjustment and tightening of the saddle and seatpost channel, adjustment and tightening of the handlebar and handlebar attachment, adjustment of brakes, adjustment of gearbox, chain and gear lubrication, wheel and tyre...
Wheels and tyres Check the correct centring, suitable tensioning of the spokes and correct installation and tightening of the pass-through pins and/or the quick release mechanism of the front wheel (if present). Check the presence and correct installation of the reflectors. Check the condition and state of wear of the tyres: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal swelling, visible canvases and other damage.

Lubricate the parts in question only after they have been properly cleaned and degreased. Then, remove any excess lubricant if oily lubricants have been used. The front and rear suspensions (where present) cannot be adjusted unless otherwise specified in this manual as they do not require specific maintenance;...

Preservation and storage If the electrically power assisted cycle needs to be stored and will not be used for extended periods of time, it must be kept in a dry, cool, closed space, that is ventilated if possible. The following operations should also be carried out: •...
10. Liability and general terms of warranty The rider assumes all liability for any injury when not wearing a helmet or other protective devices. The driver must respect current local regulations regarding: 1. the minimum age allowed for the driver, 2.
11. Information on disposal CAUTION Handling of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life (applicable in all European Union countries and in other European systems with separate collection systems) This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product should not be considered as normal household waste, but should be taken to a facility authorised to dispose of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
