Maintenance/Cleaning

WARNING
 Your Bosch Drive System components are mainte-
nance-free. Do not open any of the components. Ser-
vice should only be carried out at an authorized Bosch
eBike dealer. Failure to follow the above warning may
result in death or serious injury. Refer to your bicycle
manual or component manual for all non-Bosch Drive
System components.
 Always remove the battery pack before performing
any bicycle inspection, maintenance or repair. Fail-
ure to remove the battery pack before performing bicy-
cle inspection, maintenance or repair can lead to seri-
ous injury.
 If you suspect that something is loose, do not ride
your bike. See your Bosch eBike dealer; only a qualified
service provider should perform work on your Bosch
Drive System. All nuts, bolts, screws require the correct
tightening force. Too little force and the fastener may
not hold securely. Too much force and the fastener can
stretch, deform or break, or the threads can be
stripped. Either way, incorrect tightening force can re-
sult in component failure, which can cause you to lose
control and fall.
 If replacing your battery, only buy a genuine Bosch
battery pack from an approved source. See your
Bosch eBike dealer for original Bosch parts.
 Always switch the battery pack off when inserting or
removing it from the holder. Never attempt to insert or
remove the battery pack while riding the bike.
 Do not charge or use your eBike in any area with a po-
tentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a fueling
area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).
Obey all signs and follow all instructions.
 Do not submerge your eBike components in water,
or wash using a pressurized hose. Your Bosch drive
unit is designed to be water tight in regards to rain water
and non-pressurized hose washing.
 Note down the manufacturer and the number of the
key. In case the keys are lost, please contact an autho-
rized Bosch eBike dealer. Please provide the name of
the manufacturer and the number of the key.
 Do not paint any components of the Bosch Drive Sys-
tem as this may cause premature failure of the com-
ponents.

Have your eBike undergo a technical inspection at regular
intervals. When the service appointment is due, the on-
board computer will inform you of this for 4 seconds in the

turer can base the service appointment on a mileage and/or
a time period.
Please contact an authorized bicycle dealer for service or
repairs to the eBike.
