Useful information for proper
handling of the rechargeable
battery
Remove the rechargeable battery
(a+b)
, if you
do not use your CENTURION pedelec for a longer
period of time (e.g. during the winter season). Store
the rechargeable battery in a dry room at tempera-
tures between 5 and 20° Celsius. The state of charge
should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity. Check
the state of charge, if the rechargeable battery is left
unused for more than two months, and recharge it in
between, if necessary
(c)
.
Clean the battery housing with a dry or, if at all, a
slightly moist rag. Do not direct the water jet of a
high-pressure cleaner at the rechargeable battery, as
there is a risk of water entry and/or short-circuit.
For more information on the proper handling of your
rechargeable battery see the system instructions
of your drive manufacturer on this CENTURION
CD-ROM.
h
Charge your battery only with the sup-
plied charger. Do not use the charger of
any other manufacturer, not even when
the connector of the charger matches your re-
chargeable battery
(d)
. The rechargeable battery
can heat up, catch fire or even explode!
h
Keep the rechargeable battery and the
charger out of the reach of children!
h
We recommend that you charge your
battery during the day and only in dry
rooms which have a smoke or a fire
detector; but keep it off your bedroom. Place
the battery during the charging process on a
big, non-inflammable plate made of ceramics
or glass! Unplug the battery once it has been
charged up.
h
Keep the rechargeable battery and the
charger away from moisture and water
during the charging process to exclude
electric shocks and short circuits.
h
Do not use a rechargeable battery or a
charger that is defective. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, con-
tact your CENTURION dealer.
h
Do not expose your battery or the charg-
er to the blazing sun.
h
Do not charge any other electrical de-
vices with the supplied charger of your
CENTURION pedelec!
h
The drive is not approved for steam
cleaning, high-pressure cleaning or
cleaning with a water hose. The contact
of water with the electrics or the drive can de-
stroy the units. The individual drive components
can be cleaned with a soft rag and neutral de-
tergents. You may use a moist rag, but not ex-
cessive water. Keep the rechargeable battery dry
and do not submerge it! Risk of explosion. Riding
in the rain is, however, not a problem.
