Ifthebrakesystemneedstobecleaned,contact
yourFLYERspecialistretailer.
The component manufacturer's instructions on
how to clean the brake system are provided in the
respectivebrakesystemmanual.
Only allow your FLYER specialist retailer to
maintain the brake system and change individual
brake system components. Only original spare
partsmaybeused.Otherwiseitispossiblethat
thefunctionalityofyourFLYERe-bikemaybeim
-
pacted
ordamaged.
Have the brake pads regularly checked accord-
ing
tomanufacturerspecicationsbyyourFLYER
specialistretailer.
15.4 Backpedalbrakes
If your FLYER is equipped with back pedal
brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards
insteadofforwards.Thismeansthatyourbicycle
will not freewheel and you are unable to rotate the
pedalsbackwardsfreelyasyouotherwisecan.
Back pedal brakes work best when both
cranksareinahorizontalposition.Ifone
crank is pointing up and the other one
down, less force can be applied and
brakingislesseffective.
The effectiveness of back pedal brakes
can deteriorate substantially on long
slopesiftheyareusedontheirown.
This type of braking system can become
very hot from continuous braking. Use
therimbrakestooonlongslopes.
Wait until the back pedal brake has
cooled down and do not touch the brake
drum.
Ensure that the brake anchor plate is
correctly attached with the appropriate
screwwhenremovingorinstallingit.
16. Lightingsystem
Your FLYER e-bike's lighting system is usually
poweredbythebattery.Whenthebatteryisemp-
ty,
thelightshouldstillworkforaboutonehour.
The headlight must be aligned to illuminate the
road according to the legal regulations of your
country.
Have the lighting system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by your FLYER
specialistretailerifafaultoccurs.
