Maintenance for the Drive Unit

NOTICE
• Because a Drive Unit is a precision machinery, do not disassemble or exert any strong
force on it (for example, do NOT hit this product with a hammer).
Especially since the crank axle is directly connected to the inside of the Drive Unit, any
large damages inflicted on the crank axle may lead to failures.

Storage

Store the system in a place that is:
• Flat and stable
• Well ventilated and free from moisture
• Sheltered from the elements and from direct sunlight
Long storage period (1 month or longer) and using it again after a long
storage period
• When storing the bicycle for a long period (1 month or longer), remove the Battery Pack and
store it using the following procedure.
• Decrease the residual battery capacity to where one or two battery capacity indicator lamps are
lit, and store it indoors in a cool 15–25 °C, dry place.
• Check the residual battery capacity once a month, and if only one battery capacity indicator
lamp is flashing, charge the Battery Pack for about 10 minutes. Do not let the residual battery
capacity become too low.
TIP
• If you leave the Battery Pack at "full charge" or "empty", it will deteriorate quicker.
• Due to self-discharge, the Battery Pack slowly loses its charge during storage.
• The Battery Pack's capacity decreases over time but proper storage will maximize its service
life.
• When using it again after a long storage period, be sure to charge the Battery Pack before using
it. Also, if you are using it again after storing it for 6 months or longer, have your bicycle inspect-
ed and maintained at a dealer.
L. Transport
The Battery Packs are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. When being
transported by third parties (e.g. via air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on
packaging and labels must be observed. To prepare the item for shipping, consult a hazardous ma-
terials expert. The customer can transport the Battery Packs by road without further requirements.
Do not transport damaged Battery Packs.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the Battery Pack in such a manner that it cannot
move around in the packaging. Be sure to observe all local and national regulations. In case of
questions concerning transport of the Battery Packs, please refer to a bicycle dealer.
