Checking the brake system
•
Perform a brake test at a standstill prior to every ride. In this regard, pull
the brake lever towards the handlebar with two fingers and normal braking
force. The brake lever should not come into contact with the handlebar grip,
and the brake must be capable of blocking the wheel.
•
Move the CD1 Cargo back and forth with the brake applied. No significant
play should be evident. Identify the cause of any play determined.
•
For hydraulic disc brakes, the pressure point on the brake lever must be
stable. If the pressure point is not reached after two-thirds of the lever
stroke, pull the lever several times in succession ("pumping"). Check
whether the pressure point stiffens. If so, and if the location of the
pressure point moves during travel, the brake system must be bled by
HNF-NICOLAI Service or by a qualified specialist workshop.
•
The brake discs must be free of oil. Any oil evident on the brake
discs can be removed with alcohol.
The pressure point is defined as the position of the lever stroke at which
the brake responds. If the brake is working perfectly, i.e. there are no air
bubbles in the hydraulic line, the pressure point will be at the same lever
position for each braking procedure.
Do not touch the brake discs with your hands. The thin film of oil on your
skin transfers to the brake discs and temporarily impairs the braking force.
3.4.
Checking the drive belt
The Gates Carbon Drive is a maintenance-free, durable system. Nevertheless,
the following points must be considered:
•
Are there any foreign objects between socket and belt?
If yes: Remove immediately.
•
Is the belt heavily contaminated?
If yes: Rinse clean with water.

Battery: Ensuring secure fixing and charging status
Ensure that the battery is securely fixed in the lock and assess whether the charging
status is sufficient for your planned journey.
