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 o󰀨 and the battery has
been removed. If the chain of your
FLYER e-bike has fallen o󰀨 the chain
ring or sprocket, it is essential to switch
o󰀨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o󰀨.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o󰀨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-
sions in the user manual.

sliding dropouts
Adjusting the tension and alignment of
thebeltrequiresagreatdealofexperi-
ence. Improper handling can cause acci-
dents 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.

Tightening the toothed belt
Loosen the screws A1 on both sides of the dro-
pout. You only need to loosen the
screws until the dropout can move freely.
A1
Tighten the chain/toothed belt using the adjusting
screw A2. You have reached the correct chain
tension when the chain is still able to move up
and down slightly in the centre (10-15 mm). Use
a belt tension measuring device to check that the
belt tension is correct. Consult the belt manufac-
