8.3 Monthly maintenance and checks

8.3.1 Washing and cleaning

Cleaning the pedal assisted bicycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows you to immediately detect any defect
in it.
In order not to damage or compromise the functioning of the various components, especially the electrical parts, cleaning
must be carried out taking certain precautions. It is absolutely forbidden to direct jets of pressurized water towards the
electrical parts, the engine and the battery, for which washing with a sponge is recommended.
Before starting the pedal assisted bicycle, dry completely with low pressure compressed air and check that there is no
residual moisture on the electrical components.
8.3.2 Chain lubrication and cleaning
It is important to periodically clean and lubricate the chain to avoid corrosion due to atmospheric agents.
1. Clean the entire length of the links with a rag.
2. Spray all the links with a special grease in spray for transmission chains.
Check the correct tension of the chain by positioning the gearbox
in the two different extreme positions allowed by the sprocket
set.

8.3.3 Checking the frame and bolts

The supporting frame of the pedal assisted bicycle and the welds must be free of visible defects such as: cracks, defor-
mations, incisions, corrosion, etc.
Make sure that all the bolts on the pedal assist bike are tight.
CORECT LUBRIFICATION OF THE CHAIN
Be extremely careful not to get the lubri-
cant on the bicycle's brakes or tires. This
can lead to serious injuries !!
