WARNING
!
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake rotor in a disc
brake or on the rim of a rim brake can cause
the brake to fail completely. This may cause a
crash with serious injuries.
Never allow oil or lubricant to come into
contact with the brake rotor or brake pads or
on the rim of a rim brake.
If the brake pads have come into contact with oil
or lubricant, contact specialist dealer to have
the components cleaned or replaced.
Apply the brakes a few times to test them after
cleaning, servicing or repair.
The brake system is not designed for use on
a ebike which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If the ebike is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brakes a couple of
times before setting off to ensure they work as
normal.
The brake seals are unable to withstand high
pressures. Damaged brakes can fail and cause
an accident with injury.
Never clean the ebike with a pressure
washer or compressed air.
Take great care when using a hose. Never
point the water jet directly at the seal section.
Cleaning, servicing and maintenance
CAUTION
!
Crash and falling caused by unintentional
activation
There is a risk of injury if the drive system is
activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery before cleaning.
Notice
Water may enter the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. This dilutes the lubricant inside,
the friction increases and, as a result, the
bearings are permanently damaged in the long
term. Water may also penetrate the electric
components and damage them permanently.
Never clean ebike with a pressure washer,
water jet or compressed air.
Greased parts, such as the seat post, the
handlebars or the stem, may no longer be safely
and reliably clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to parts which are
clamped.
Harsh cleaning agents such as acetone,
methylene and trichloroethylene and solvents
such as thinners, alcohol and corrosion
protection can attack ebike components and
damage them permanently.
Use approved bicycle or ebike cleaning and
care products only.
