Even a manual as big as an encyclopedia could
not describe any possible combination of bicycle or
pedelec models and components or parts on the
market. The translation of these original CENTURION
operating instructions therefore focuses on your
newly purchased CENTURION city/trekking bike and
CENTURION pedelec and standard components
and provides the most important information and
warnings. In addition to this, the system instructions
of your drive manufacturer give important information
and warnings on handling your new CENTURION
bike.
When doing any adjusting and maintenance work, be
aware that the detailed instructions provided in your
manual only refer to this CENTURION bike.
The information included here is not applicable to
any other bicycle or pedelec type. As bicycles and
pedelecs come in a wide variety of designs with
frequent model changes, the routines described
may require complementary information. It is essen-
tial to also observe the system instructions of your
drive manufacturer as well as the instructions of
the component manufacturers on this CENTURION
CD-ROM.
Be aware that these instructions may require further
explanation, depending on the experience and/or
skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs
you may require additional (special) tools or supple-
mentary instructions. This manual cannot teach you
the skills of a bicycle mechanic.

This CENTURION CD-ROM includes the
system instructions of your drive manu-
facturer, the instructions of the compo-
nent manufacturers as well as the relevant web
links.
Before you set off, let us point out a few things to
you that are very important to every cyclist. Never
ride without a properly adjusted helmet and with-
out glasses
(a)
. Make sure to wear suitable, bright
clothing, as a minimum you should wear straight cut
trousers and or leg bands and shoes fitting the pedal
system
(b)
. Always ride carefully on public roads
and observe the traffic rules so as not to endanger
yourself or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Please
be aware that cycling is a potentially dangerous
activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his
or her CENTURION bike at all times. Be aware from
the moment you set off that you possibly ride at a
higher speed
(c+d)
. If necessary, attend a beginners
course for cyclists, as offered here and there.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and
damage. By choosing to ride a bike, you assume
the responsibility for the risk. Please note that on a
bike you have no protection technique around you
like you have in a car (e.g. bodywork, ABS, airbag).
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other
traffic participants.
