Care
This bike, its components, motor
and electrical system is designed
predominantly for leisure use and
commuting on roads and light trails.
Use outside of these conditions
could lead to, increased wear and
tear, damage to the bike, risk of
injury and will void the warranty.
Cleaning
Regular washing and cleaning of your Emu bike
and its components is recommended in order to
lengthen the life of your Emu bike. To prevent
corrosion and the dilution of lubricants, remove
mud and dirt by washing with as little water as
possible and then immediately dry your Emu
bike. Suitable cleaning materials are supplied by
specialist cycle suppliers.
Regularly check brake
pads and discs for
wear. Worn out brake pads
and/or discs can lead to a
reduction in braking
effectiveness and could lead to
injury. Contaminated discs can
have the same effect. If unsure
always have your bike
checked by a trained
mechanic.
WARNING — As with all mechanical
components, an EPAC is subjected to
wear and high stresses. Different materials
and components may react to wear or stress
fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a
component has been exceeded, it may
suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the
rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change
of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate
that the life of the component has been
reached and it should be replaced.
Always remove the
battery during
maintenance.
Do not use a high-
pressure washer to clean
your bike.
Do not leave the bike out
in wet conditions. If the
bike gets wet during use, dry
after use ensuring all electrical
components are completely dry.
