To ensure that the chain and gears can
work safely, the chain must have a cer-
tain
 level of tension. Derailleur gears
tension the chain automatically. In the
case of hub gears, chains which are too
loosemustbetightened.Itmightother

The axle nuts must be correctly fastened
aftereachchainadjustmentprocess.
Work may only be performed on the
chain once the electrical system has
been switched off and the battery has
been removed. If the chain of your
FLYER e-bike has fallen off the chain
ring or sprocket, it is essential to switch
off the electrical system and remove the
battery before placing the chain back on
thegearwheels.
Chaincare
The drive chain must be cleaned and lubricated
regularly in order to ensure that it functions well
(seesection“Inspectionplan”).
Dirtcansimplybewashedoff.Youcanalsoclean
the chain by wiping it with an oil-soaked cloth.
Onceitisclean,itmustbelubricatedatthejoints
withasuitablelubricant.Afterleavingforashort
while,wipeofftheexcesslubricant.
Beltdrive
TheGatesCarbonDrivebeltisverydurableand
long-lasting. However, you must take extreme
care before and during assembly to ensure that
no damage is caused to the carbon bres that
makeupthestrength of the drivebelt.Extreme
bending and twisting causes tears that can lead to
faultsinthebeltifsubjectedtohighstress.
Follow the instructions for handling the Gates
Carbon Drive System belt and observe the provi

Tensioningandaligningthedrivebelt
Adjustingthetensionandalignmentofthe
belt requires a great deal of experience.
Improper handling can cause accidents
and severe falls.Always let your FLYER
specialistretailerperformthisactivity.
Ifthetensionofthedrivebeltistoolow,
this can cause it to slip on the toothed
pulley. This may result in accidents or
severefalls.
The carbon bres inside the drive belt
mayalsobe damaged.Ifthedrivebelt
slips through, take it to a specialist to be
checkedover.
Ifthetensionofthedrivebeltistoohigh,
bearings and seals in the wheel hub can
becomedamaged.Thewearandfriction
losses on the entire drive are therefore
alsohigher.
