11 Cleaning

› Remove the battery before you clean your
Pedelec.
› Do not use benzine, thinner, acetone or similar
agents in the cleaning procedures under any
circumstances. Likewise, the use of abrasive
cleaners and aggressive cleaning agents must
also be avoided.
› Only use commercially available, household
cleaning agents and disinfectants (isopropyl
alcohol) or water. You can obtain suitable clean-
ing agents and additional information from your
specialist cycle shop. We recommend you clean
your Pedelec with a damp cloth, a sponge or a
brush.

11.1 Battery

Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike. When wiping down the battery, be careful not to
touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This
could cause the battery to switch off.

11.2 Motor

Dirt should be removed from the motor of your Pedelec
regularly, ideally using a dry brush or a damp (not wet)
cloth. Running water such as that from a hose pipe or
even a high-pressure cleaner must not be used for clean-
ing.
The ingress of water can destroy the motor. Therefore,
ensure that neither fluids nor moisture enter the motor at
any time during cleaning.
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
after a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If the motor is removed, e.g. for cleaning purposes, it
must not be held or carried by the cables under any cir-
cumstances, as otherwise there is a risk that the cable
will break.
If the motor has been removed from the frame of the
Pedelec, the plug from the motor and the socket of the
cable leading to the battery must be checked for possible
contamination and, if necessary, cleaned carefully with a
dry cloth before reconnecting.

11.3 Display

The contacts of the base plate should be cleaned periodi-
cally using a contact spray in order to ensure their func-
tionality.
The housing of the display may only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.

11.4 Control panel

The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth where
necessary.

11.5 Charger

Always remove the plug from the socket before clean-
ing the charger. In this way, you avoid a short-circuit
and physical injury.
