tensioned, and the transmissions
gears are bolted securely.
• Also check for proper installation of
the slip guard to prevent the chain
jumping teeth or slipping.
Always follow all the instructions on han-
dling the chain – particularly every
time the rear wheel is removed or fitted.
Extra caution is required in these cases in
order to prevent damage to the chain.
Checking the battery lock
Before every ride, make sure the locking
cylinder on the battery lock is engaged. If
the battery is not retained by the lock, it
could fall out while the e-bike is in opera-
tion.
Checking the operation of the brake
system
Before every ride, carry out a stationary
brake test. To do so, pull the brake levers
towards the handlebar using two fingers
and normal braking force. The brake lever
must not come into contact with the han-
dlebar. A distance must remain betwe-
en the brake lever and the handle, even
when maximum hand force is applied.
Checking the brake system for wear
N WARNING
After braking, particularly during long de-
scents, the brake discs and callipers as
well as the quick-release connections and
axle nuts may become extremely hot.
There is a risk of injury.
Wait until these components have cooled
down before touching them.
