Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up
on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with
your hands, feet or legs as you could burn your-
self.
›
The Pedelec operates using low voltage
(25.2 volts). Never attempt to operate the
Pedelec using power from a source other
than a suitable genuine battery. The desig-
nations of approved batteries are listed in

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when
it is open and connected to the power supply
must only be carried out by the specialist cycle
shop.
›
When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing
cables or damaging them with sharp edges.
›
If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be
assumed, take it out of operation and make sure
it cannot be used until you have it checked by a
specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no
longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable
battery show signs of damage.
›
Keep children away from electrical appliances. If
children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if they could insert objects into the ap-
pliance through apertures in the housing as this
poses the danger of fatal electric shock.
8.1.2.5 Assistance control indicator flashing
If
the assistance control indicator is flashing
although the
battery charge is sufficient, the following cause and solu-
tion may apply:
›
The drive unit is overloaded / overheated. The
battery management has switched itself on and
reduced the assistance. A short period follows in
which the drive recovers after which the full assis-
tance output is available once again.
If this does not happen, contact your specialist
cycle shop.
8.1.2.6 Additional possible sources of errors
›
If you only pedal very gently, the power assist is
not enabled.
›
If the motor is not running and you cannot pinpoint
the cause, check the buttons, cables and plugs of
the electrical system.
If you find a break or a crack, do
not
try to repair the
fault yourself. Take your Pedelec to a specialist cycle
shop.
9 Cleaning
Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth,
a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning
agents and additional information from your specialist
cycle shop.
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike.
