the braking system. Allow a FLYER specialist re-
tailer to undertake repair work on this part imme-
diately. The danger of your brakes failing in this
condition is very high.
Formationofairbubbles
You can avoid this problem by applying
the brake lever before transport and then
xing it in this position using a strap.
This prevents any air from entering the
hydraulic system. Please note that the
brake lever may not be pulled when the
wheel has been removed. Place a spac
-
er between the brake pads if you need to
remove the wheel.
Ask
for detailed instructions regarding the oper-
ation and special features of the E-bike braking
system from your FL

If you have any questions about assembling, set-
ting up, servicing or operating this part of your
bike, please contact a FL
YER specialist retailer.
A trigger point should be clearly noticea-
ble
afterapproximatelyathirdoftheway
when pulling the brake lever. Do not start
to ride if the brake lever can be pulled up
to the handlebars. In this case, the
FLYER is not safe for operation. It is
then essential to visit your FLYER spe
-
cialist retailer and have the brake adjust-
ed or repaired.
Ensure that the brake anchor plate is
correctly attached with the appropriate
screw when removing or installing it.
Only original spare parts may be used
when changing the brakes.
Discbrake
Disc brakes must be installed and ser-
viced by a FLYER specialist retailer. In-
correctly set up brakes can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
A
brake test is required before each drive and
particularly after each brake adjustment. Braking
behaviourmayvary,inparticularafterexchanging
the brake pads. Disc brakes require a bedding-in
time to wear in the discs and pads. The braking
system only delivers its full performance after
around 10 braking cycles from 30 km/h. The brak
-
ing force increases during this time. Consider this
during
the entire duration of the wearing-in period.
This wearing-in period is also required after re-
placing the brake pads or discs.
Pay attention to any unusual noise when braking,
as this could be a sign that the brake pads have
worn down to the wear limit. Check the thickness
of the brake pads once the brakes have cooled
down. If necessary, have the brake pads replaced.

Have the brake disc replaced if it is worn out or
bent. This replacement procedure must be car
-
ried out by a FLYER specialist retailer.
