2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent nor broken and
that they are level and upright
(a)
. Make sure the stem is firmly fixed
on the fork by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front
wheel
(b)
. Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the handle-
bars are firmly fixed in the stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and carefully tighten
(c)
the
bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the components. The maxi-
mum torque values are printed directly on the components or
specified in the enclosed operating instructions.

3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the
sprockets. If your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec fell over to the chain
side, verify the proper functioning of the gears. Ask somebody to
lift the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec by the saddle and carefully shift
through all the gears. Pay particular attention when shifting to the
small gears and make sure the rear derailleur does not get too close
to the spokes
(d)
as the chain climbs onto the larger sprockets.
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger are bent,
the rear derailleur may collide with the spokes. This can result in
damage to the rear derailleur, the rear wheel and the frame.
Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced front de-
railleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of the
STORCK-RADDAR pedelec.
