Warnings
› Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up
on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with
your hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
› If you are transporting your Pedelec by car,
remove the battery beforehand. Transport the
battery in a suitable transport container sepa-
rately from the Pedelec. A suitable transport
container can be obtained from your specialist
cycle shop.
› The Pedelec operates using low voltage (36 volts).
Never attempt to operate the Pedelec using power
from a source other than a suitable genuine bat-
tery. The designations of approved batteries are
listed in ➠ Chapter 11 "Technical data".
› Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when
it is open and connected to the power supply
must only be carried out by a professional bike
workshop.
› When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing
cables or damaging them with sharp edges.
› If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be
assumed, take it out of operation and make sure
it cannot be used until you have it checked by a
specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no
longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable
battery show signs of damage.
› Keep children away from electrical appliances. If
children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if there is a possibility they could
insert objects into the appliance through apertu-
res in the housing. This poses the danger of fatal
electric shock.
› When charging the battery, make absolutely sure
the charger is correctly supported. It must not be
covered when in operation.
› When removing the battery from your Pedelec,
ensure that it does not fall. This may cause irre-
parable damage to the battery housing. Informa-
tion on how to deal with a damaged battery can
be found in ➠ Chapter 7.7 "Damaged batteries".
› Damaged batteries may neither be recharged nor
continue to be used.
› During the charging process, the battery and
charger must be placed on an even, non-
flammable surface. Battery and charger must not
be covered.
› The battery may heat up during charging. A maxi-
mum temperature of 45°C may be reached. If the
battery becomes any warmer than this, suspend
the charging process immediately.
› Bear in mind that the vehicle is only designed
for a maximum speed of 70 km/h. Exceeding this
speed causes damage to the electrical compo-
nents.
