5. Is the battery tight in its mounting
(e)
and is it locked correctly
(f)
?
Never set off with a loose and unlocked battery.
For more information see chapter
“mounting the battery”
.
6. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pres-
sure? The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indi-
cated on the tyre side
(g)
.
For more information see chapter
“Wheels and Tyre Equipment”
of your STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed oper-
ating instructions.
7. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. Watch the gap
between rim and brake pad or, in the case of disc brakes, between
frame and rim or tyre. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with
ruptured sides or broken axles or spokes.
For more information see chapter
“Wheels and Tyre Equipment”
of your STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed oper-
ating instructions.
8. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers to-
wards the handlebars
(h)
. The brake pads of rim brakes must hit
the rim evenly with their entire surface without touching the tyre
during braking or in open condition or in between. Make sure you
cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars and check
the hydraulic brake cables for leaks. Check the thickness of the
brake pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should directly get a positive braking re-
sponse. If you have to actuate the brake lever more than once to
get a positive braking response, have the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec
checked by your STORCK dealer.

“brake system”
of your STORCK
user manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating instruc-
tions.
