Cleaning the CARVY
The CARVY can be cleaned with suitable cleaning agents and care products, using a soft cloth
or sponge. Never use solvents on the CARVY. Do not use water directly onto the CARVY and do
not use a high-pressure cleaner. Always wipe dirt off the body by using clean water and dry it
with a leather cloth. Never spray liquids underneath the rear wheel spat.
Important advice when using a lithium-ion battery
Charging
Charge the batteries at a temperature between 0°C and 45°C.
If you notice a fault or anything unusual that arises during charging (e.g. deformation of the
battery, blown cells, overheating), stop the charging procedure immediately. Unplug the
charger when you have finished charging the CARVY.
Charging should take place in a dry, well-aerated room (do not charge it outside!). Make sure
that there are no flammable substances within a reach of 150 cm to the charger when the
CARVY is being charged. Do not charge the battery near to flammable or other hazardous
substances. When charging the battery, make sure that the battery and charger are out of the
reach of children.
Discharging / Usage
Use at a temperature between 0°C and 45°C.
Avoid the battery discharging too much. Repeatedly running down the battery to the minimum
can reduce battery capacity.
Do not charge the battery with a higher current than the manufacturer recommends, as this
will reduce the life of the battery.
We recommend assisting the CARVY with your foot on steep hills to prevent the battery and
motor from overheating.
