Safety instructions

Read all the safety information and in-
structions. Failure to observe the safety in-
formation and follow instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term battery is used in these instructions to mean all
original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs.
Read and observe the safety warnings and directions
u
contained in all the eBike system operating instruc-
tions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
Do not attempt to change – and especially increase –
u
the power of your drive or the maximum speed that it
supports. Doing this may put yourself and others at risk,
and you may also breach statutory regulations.
Do not make any modifications to your eBike system
u
or fit any other products that might increase the per-
formance of your eBike system. Doing so will generally
reduce the service life of the system and risks damaging
the drive unit and the bike. You also run the risk of losing
the guarantee and warranty claims on the bicycle you
have purchased. By handling the system improperly you
are also endangering your safety and that of other road
users, thus running the risk of high personal liability costs
and possibly even criminal prosecution in the event of ac-
cidents that can be attributed to manipulation of the bi-
cycle.
Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit
u
must only be repaired by qualified personnel using
only original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the drive unit is maintained. Unauthorised opening of
the drive unit will render warranty claims null and void.
All components fitted to the drive unit and all other
u
components of the eBike drive (e.g. chainring, chain-
ring receptacle, pedals) must only be replaced with
identical components or components that have been
specifically approved by the manufacturer for your
eBike. This will protect the drive unit from overloading
and becoming damaged.
Remove the battery from the eBike before beginning
u
work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance,
work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transporting it
with a car or aeroplane, or storing it. Unintentional ac-
tivation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
On sections of the drive, temperatures
> 60 °C may occur in extreme conditions,
e.g. when carrying consistently high loads at
low speed when riding up hills or transport-
ing loads.
After a ride, do not allow your unprotected hands or
u
legs to come into contact with the housing of the drive
unit. Under extreme conditions, such as continuously
high torques at low travel speeds, or when riding up hills
or carrying loads, the housing may reach a very high tem-
Bosch eBike Systems
perature.
The temperature that the drive unit housing may reach is
influenced by the following factors:
– Ambient temperature
– Ride profile (route/gradient)
– Ride duration
– Assistance modes
– User behaviour (personal effort)
– Total weight (rider, eBike, luggage)
– Motor cover on the drive unit
– Heat dissipation properties of the bicycle frame
– Type of drive unit and type of gear-shifting
Use only original Bosch batteries that the manufac-
u
turer has approved for your eBike. Using other batter-
ies can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. Bosch ac-
cepts no liability or warranty claims if other batteries are
used.
Keep the magnet away from implants and
other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or
insulin pumps. The magnet generates a field
that can impair the function of implants and
medical devices.
Keep the magnet away from magnetic data carriers
u
and magnetically sensitive devices. The effect of the
magnets may lead to irreversible data losses.
Observe all national regulations which set out the ap-
u
proved use of eBikes.
Privacy notice
When you connect the eBike to the Bosch Dia-
gnosticTool 3, data about Bosch drive unit (e.g. energy con-
sumption, temperature, etc.) is transferred to Bosch eBike
Systems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for the purposes of product
improvement. You can find more information about this on
the Bosch eBike website at www.bosch-ebike.com.
