H. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Be sure to perform the inspection before riding the bicycle. If there is anything you do not understand or find
difficult, please consult a bicycle dealer.
Notice
• If you confirm there is a fault, have your bicycle inspected at a dealer as soon as possible.
• The power assist mechanism consists of precision parts. Do not disassemble it.
Along with performing the regular inspection before riding the bicycle, also perform the following inspections.
Nr. Inspection item
1 Residual battery capacity
2
Installation status of the battery pack
3
Operation of the e-Bike Systems
I. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Notice
Do not use high-pressure washers or steam jet cleaners since they can cause water seepage, resulting in
property damage or malfunction of the Drive Unit or display unit or battery pack. Should water get inside one of
these units, have an authorized dealer inspect your bicycle.
Caring for the battery pack
Use a moist, tightly-wrung towel to wipe off dirt on the battery pack. Do not pour water directly on the battery
pack, such as with a hose.
Notice
Do not clean the contacts by polishing them with a file or using a wire, etc. Doing so could result in a fault.
Maintenance for the Drive Unit
Notice
Because a Drive Unit is a precision machinery, do not disassemble or exert any strong force on it (for example,
do NOT hit this product with a hammer). Especially since the crank axle is directly connected to the inside of the
Drive Unit, any large damages inflicted on the crank axle may lead to failures.

Inspection contents
Is enough capacity left in the battery?
Is it properly installed?
Do the e-Bike Systems operate when you begin
moving?
Storage
Store the system in a place that is:
• Flat and stable
• Well ventilated and free from moisture
• Sheltered from the elements and from direct sunlight
Long storage period (1 month or longer) and using it again after a long storage period
• When storing the bicycle for a long period (1 month or longer), remove the battery pack and store it using the
following procedure.
• Decrease the residual battery capacity to where one or two battery capacity indicator lamps are lit, and store it
indoors in a cool 15–25 °C, dry place.
• Check the residual battery capacity once a month, and if only one battery capacity indicator lamp is flashing,
charge the battery pack for about 10 minutes. Do not let the residual battery capacity become too low.
OPMERKING
• If you leave the battery pack at "full charge" or "empty", it will deteriorate quicker.
• Due to self-discharge, the battery slowly loses its charge during storage.
• The battery's capacity decreases over time but proper storage will maximize its service life.
• When using it again after a long storage period, be sure to charge the battery pack before using it. Also, if you
are using it again after storing it for 6 months or longer, have your bicycle inspected and maintained at a dealer.
J. TRANSPORT
The batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. When being transported by third
parties (e.g. via air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and labels must be
observed. To prepare the item for shipping, consult a hazardous materials expert. The customer can transport
the batteries by road without further requirements. Do not transport damaged batteries.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery pack in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging. Be sure to observe all local and national regulations. In case of questions concerning transport of the
batteries, please refer to an authorized bicycle dealer.
