Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance and care guarantee a longer lifespan of your
high-quality Pedelec.
You should carry out simple cleaning and care works yourself regularly
and let the dealer do the necessary inspections.
Never clean the Pedelec with a strong jet of water or a steam cleaner.
The high water pressure might squeeze water into the bearings, motor
and electronic contacts and will destroy these parts due to thin the
bearing grease, corrosion and short circuits.
Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Please make sure
that no electrical contact gets wet.
The contacts can be maintained and conserved from time to time with a
little care oil (e.g. 1Step Finish Line) preservation. Contact spray is too
aggressive and don´t preserve.
You should repair varnish damages at once. All parts liable to corrosion
should be maintained and preserved by appropriate means.
The chain should be lubricated regularly like all other movable
mechanical parts such as the joints of the rear derailleur.
Caution: During cleaning and lubrication, avoid oil and fat
on the brake pads and brake discs. The braking effect might
deteriorate and represent a serious risk
.
Always ensure that the tires are inflated within the manufacturer's
recommended operating pressure, which
can be found printed on the on the tire sidewall. He should
be by no means over-or under-steps.
The entire electrical system of your Pedelec as the motor, the
sensors, the wiring and the battery is maintenance-free. If you get
unexpected problems with the system, take note, that you have
to contact or technical hotline (see also Chapter 1 Introduction)
or an authorized dealer.
It´s important of using "original" components from the manufacturer
if they want to change any components on their bike. Or contact our
official dealer if they want to make any changes or replacement of the
components self changes is not recommended.
