4.3 Removal and protection of the battery pack
The battery pack always remains in the wheel hub of the e-motion wheel and should be
removed only in case of air transport or for service situations. Please proceed as follows
in this case:
Loosen the 4 locking pins [11] using a coin.
•
After loosening the last locking pin, the battery pack [12] jumps slightly out of the •
wheel hub.
Remove the battery pack [12] from the wheel hub.
•
On the bottom of the battery pack:
Immediately after removing the battery pack, place the round side of the protective
•
cover [13] in the center of the battery pack housing [12] as shown in the graphic
illustration and firmly push it in place.
Push the burls [14] of the protective cover into the openings on the bottom of the
•
battery pack housing and push them in place.
The protective cover [13] and its burls [14] must be connected firmly enough with the
•
battery pack housing so that they cannot become detached from it on their own.
Protect the battery pack immediately after removing it from the e-
motion wheel to prevent damaging it. Neither humidity nor foreign
objects (e.g. metal shavings, small nails or other conducting metals)
may enter the openings on the battery pack.
The battery pack must only be removed from an e-motion wheel
in case of air transport. Status of current knowledge (as of June
2008):
The wheels are transported in the cargo compartment of the plane,
the two battery packs are to be carried as hand luggage in the pas-
senger cabin. However, make sure to contact the respective airline
carrier on the applicable regulations in this matter before commenc-
ing your journey and also on the applicable legal regulations in your
country of origin or your vacation destination in regard to the air
transport of batteries and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
