WARNING
Always remove the battery before starting work on the pedelec. The
cycle could switch on without warning and you could be seriously
injured.
CAUTION
Check the drive belt for signs of wear before every trip. A worn or
damaged drive belt can break. If this happens while you are riding the
bike, you can easily injure yourself.
IMPORTANT
Do not kink, twist, bend backwards, turn over, knot or bind together
the belt. Doing so can damage it beyond repair.
