Make sure that the belt is always clean and that there are no foreign bodies between
the belt and the pulleys. The belt and pulleys can be rinsed with water for cleaning.
You can eliminate any short-term noises in the belt drive with a silicone
spray after cleaning.
The Gates Carbon Drive System is sensitive to snow/ice. Before driving in
winter, remove icing/snow clogs between belt and pulleys.
If there are persistent noises in the belt drive, we recommend having the vehicle
inspected by a workshop with experience in Gates Carbon Drive.

Brakes
Work on the hydraulics should be carried out by HNF-NICOLAI Service or a specialist
workshop.Pay attention to the recommended annual (or every 3.000 km) inspection
of the brake system.
5.7.1. Brake pad and brake disc wear
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to functional wear caused by friction
between the two parts. The wear depends on the riding style, terrain, weather and
ground conditions, meaning that no binding information can be given regarding the
brake pads.
Brake discs need to be replaced after approx. 4 to 5 changes of brake pad pairs,
as they are made of a harder material. It is recommended to check the brake pads
every 500 km.
5.7.2. Checking the brake pads
The brake pads must be replaced when they
•
are reduced to 2.5 mm thickness (height of carrier plate and friction lining)
•
become contaminated with oil (leads to reduced braking power)
