POWER ASSIST DRIVE SYSTEM
The power assist drive system, consisting of a motor, battery pack, and
digital command console, is what makes your Surface604 unique from
other bicycles on the market. This intelligent energy management sys-
tem allows you to travel long distances without exhausting yourself.
It is therefore very important that you know how to operate the sys-
tem with condence and ease. Please refer to the supplementary User
Manual for information about operating the Power-assist Drive System
installed on your Surface604 E-Bike
TIRE VALVES
Surface604 bicycles use Schrader tire valves:
The Schrader valve (see Fig 4.7b) is like the valve on a car tire. To in-
ate a Schrader valve tube, remove the valve cap and clamp the pump
tting onto the end of the valve stem. To let air out of a Schrader valve,
depress the pin in the end of the valve stem with the end of a key or
other appropriate object. The bicycle pump you use must have the t-
ting appropriate to the valve stem on the bicycle.
If you want to learn more about proper maintenance and service on
your bicycle, consider the following options:
Regardless of the option you choose, we strongly recommend that you
have your local dealer check to ensure the quality of your adjustment or
service the rst time you perform the work. This will ensure you have
completed the work properly. This will likely mean that your dealer’s
mechanic will need to take the time to evaluate your work and result in
modest charge for his/her time. This small investment in ensuring your
adjustment or service is correct will contribute greatly in reducing the
possibility of damage or harm to you or your bicycle, and will assist you
in developing your skills in bicycle maintenance.

WARNING:
!
Please note that bicycle technology is
continuously changing to improve performance and use, but this has
also made components mechanically more complex. It is therefore
very important that you minimize the chance of an accident or
potential injury by having any repair or maintenance, not discussed
in this Manual, be performed by your local Surface604 bicycle
dealer. In addition, your individual maintenance requirements will
be determined by a number of factors from your riding style to
your geographic location. Your dealer can assist you in identifying
maintenance requirements for your specic riding needs.
WARNING:
!
Many bicycle service and repair tasks require
specic knowledge, tools and skills. Do not attempt to perform
any adjustment or service to your Surface604 bicycle that you are
unfamiliar with or are ill equipped to perform properly. Improper
adjustments or service can result in damage to your bicycle (and
its components) or result in an accident while riding, which can
damage your bicycle and/or cause you serious injury or death.
