Installing/Removing The Rear Wheel - BionX PL250HT SL XL User Manual

Installing/Removing the Rear Wheel

We recommend the removal and installation of the rear wheel to be done by a qualified dealer.
Should you have to do this yourself, please follow the instructions below:
WARNING
Always turn off the propulsion system prior to plugging in or unplugging the motor cables.
CAUTION
It is essential that the axle nuts are tightened with a torque of 40Nm/30lb-ft; this assures
that the propulsion system functions properly. Ensure the torque reaction collar is fully
inserted into the dropout.
If your bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes: Do not pull the brake lever with the
brake disc on the rear wheel removed from the caliper. Insertion of the wheel can be
difficult or impossible as the brake pads will prevent brake disc from sliding in place.
To Remove the rear wheel
• Make sure that the system is turned off
• Remove the neoprene covers (Fig. 1)
• Unplug the two cable connections that lead to the motor (Fig. 2)
First COMMUNICATION
• Disconnect the cable guide from the rear wheel brake (only on bicycles with V-brakes)
• Loosen the axle nut on the rear wheel using a 15mm ring wrench (Fig. 3)
• Slide the rear wheel downwards out of the dropout
