Safety Instructions - Bosch BDU490P Originalbetriebsanleitung

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 eBike 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 make any alterations of any kind to the drive.
u
Do not use any products to increase the performance
of the drive. Your actions also constitute an illegal act in
the public domain. Moreover, you may consequently en-
danger yourself and others, and risk high personal liability
costs and potentially even the danger of criminal prosecu-
tion in the event of accidents that can be traced back to
the manipulation. This also generally reduces the service
life of the eBike components. Damage to the drive unit
and on the eBike can occur, leading to the loss of guaran-
tee and warranty claims on the eBike you have pur-
chased.
Do not open the drive unit. The drive unit must only be
u
repaired with original spare parts and by an author-
ised bicycle dealer. This will guarantee that the safety in
use of the eBike is maintained. Unauthorised opening of
the drive unit will render warranty claims null and void.
Remove the eBike battery from the eBike before be-
u
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, main-
tenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, trans-
porting it by car or aeroplane, or storing it. There is a
risk of injury if the eBike is accidentally activated.
The push assistance function must only be used when
u
pushing the eBike. There is a risk of injury if the wheels
of the eBike are not in contact with the ground while using
the push assistance.
When the push assistance is activated, the pedals may
u
turn at the same time. When the push assistance func-
tion is activated, make sure that there is enough space
between your legs and the turning pedals to avoid the risk
of injury.
When using the walk assistance, make sure that you
u
can control the eBike and that you can hold it securely
at all times. Under certain circumstances, the walk as-
sistance may stop (e.g. if the pedals hit an obstacle or if
you accidentally let go of the button on the operating
unit). The eBike may suddenly move backwards onto you
or tip up. This presents a risk for the user particularly if
there is additional load on the eBike. When using the walk
assistance, do not bring the eBike into situations in which
you cannot hold the eBike using your own strength.
Bosch eBike Systems
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-
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 eBike batteries that the manu-
u
facturer has approved for your eBike. Using other
eBike batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Bosch accepts no liability or warranty claims if other
eBike batteries are used.
Observe all national regulations which set out the ap-
u
proved use of eBikes.
Privacy notice
When you connect the eBike to the Bosch DiagnosticTool or
replace eBike components, technical information about your
eBike (e.g. manufacturer, model, bike ID, configuration
data) and the eBike usage (e.g. total riding time, energy con-
sumption, temperature) is transferred to Bosch eBike Sys-
tems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for the purposes of processing
your inquiry, servicing and product improvement. You can
