Deformed components, especially those made of alumini-
um, can break without previous warning. They may not be
repaired, i.e. straightened, as the imminent risk of breakage
will remain. This applies in particular to the fork, the han-
dlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and the pedals.
When in doubt, it is always recommended that you have
these components replaced, as your safety comes first. Ask
your WHEELER bicycle dealer for help.
If your WHEELER bicycle is assembled with carbon com-
ponents, it is imperative that you have it checked by your
WHEELER bicycle dealer after an accident or similar inci-
dent. Carbon is an extremely strong material which com-
bines high resistance with low weight. However, one of the
inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress
may compromise the inner carbon-fibre structure without
showing any visible deformation, as is the case with steel or
aluminium. A damaged component can fail without previous
warning. danger of an accident!

YoUR WHEELER PEDELEC
1. Check the rechargeable battery (c+d). If the rechargeable battery
is no longer properly in its holder or shows any damage, do not use
your WHEELER pedelec any longer, or at least, not in assistance
mode. Switch off the motor and the battery separately, if neces-
sary. A damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit or a sudden
failure of your WHEELER pedelec assistance right at the moment
when you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable battery can result
in the entry of water or moisture and that can lead to short circuits
or electric shocks. The rechargeable battery could catch fire or
even explode! In such a case contact your WHEELER bicycle dealer
immediately.
2. Check the display (e). Are all the values displayed as usual?
Do not use your WHEELER pedelec if the display shows an error
message or a warning. If necessary, switch off the system com-
pletely and wait at least 10 seconds before checking it again.
Do not set off on your WHEELER pedelec with drive assistance if
the control element shows a warning. In such a case contact your
WHEELER bicycle dealer immediately.
You can find further information in the chapter "operating the
propulsion System" in your BionX system operating instructions.
3. Let your WHEELER pedelec bounce on the ground from a low
height. If there is any rattling, see where it comes from (f). Check
the bearings, the bolts and the proper seating of the battery and
the connectors, as necessary.
You can find further information in the chapter "inserting and re-
moving the battery" in your BionX system operating instructions.
