What to do in the case of a fall or accident

WARNING
Danger of fire
If your EPAC falls over this may result in short circuits in the rechargeable battery pack and cause
the rechargeable battery pack to catch fire.
· After a fall or accident you should leave your EPAC outside for an hour away from combustible
materials.
· Move the back of your finger briefly and carefully along the down tube. If you notice any unusual
warmth, leave your EPAC where it is. Under no circumstances should you continue to use your
EPAC. Transport your EPAC to your specialist bicycle dealer as soon as the down tube has
cooled down.
· If flames or smoke come out of the down tube, leave your EPAC where it is. Put out the fire
with fire extinguishing equipment, if available. If you do not have any extinguishing equipment
available, wait until the fire has become extinguished and all of the parts of your EPAC have
cooled down. Then transport your EPAC without delay to a specialist bicycle dealer.
· If there is a danger that the fire will spread to neighbouring items, call the fire brigade
immediately.
· You should only use your EPAC again when it has been checked by a specialist workshop and
repaired if necessary.
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
If you have a fall or accident with your EPAC, parts of it which are important for safety may be
damaged. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and material damage.
· Contact your specialist bicycle dealer immediately after an accident or fall.
· You should only use your EPAC again when it has been properly repaired by the specialist bicycle
dealer.
After a fall it is essential to have all of the parts of your EPAC which have hit a hard surface, such as the
· Handlebars
· Handlebar stem
· and crank
replaced.
All other parts must be inspected by your dealer and replaced, if necessary.
NOTE:
If you have any questions after falls and accidents, you can also contact a bicycle specialist. In Germany you
can obtain corresponding contact addresses from your local Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK).
