WARNING
!
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake
or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake
to fail completely. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
Never allow oil or lubricant to come into
contact with the brake disc or brake linings or
on the rim of a rim brake.
If the brake linings have come into contact with
oil or lubricant, contact specialist dealer to
have the components cleaned or replaced.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a
few test brake applications.
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If pedelec has been placed on its side or
turned upside down, apply the brakes a couple
of times before setting off to ensure they work
as normal.
The brake seals are unable to withstand high
pressures. Damaged brakes can fail and cause
an accident with injury.
Never clean the pedelec with a pressure
washer or compressed air.
Take great care when using a hosepipe. Never
point the water jet directly at the seal section.

Cleaning, maintenance and inspection
CAUTION
!
Crash and falling caused by unintentional
activation
There is a risk of injury if the electric drive system
is activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery before cleaning.
Notice
Water may enter the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. This dilutes the lubricant inside,
the friction increases and, as a result, the
bearings are permanently damaged in the long
term. Water may also penetrate the electric
components and damage them permanently.
Never clean pedelec with a pressure washer,
water jet or compressed air.
Greased parts, such as the seat post, the
handlebars or the stem, may no longer be safely
and reliably clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to parts which are
clamped.
Harsh cleaning agents such as acetone,
methylene and trichloroethylene and solvents
such as thinners, alcohol and corrosion protection
can attack pedelec components and damage
them permanently.
Use approved care and cleaning products
only.
