GEAR CABLES AND HOUSING:
• Inspection of its operation before every ride.
• Replacement of gear cables every 6 months to 1 year de-
pending on the bicycle's usage conditions.
BRAKES:
• Inspection of the operation and wear of the brake pads or
inserts before each ride.
• Check the wear on disc brakes and the cables or hydraulic
lines every 6 months to 1 year depending on the condi-
tions under which the bicycle is used. Flush the hydraulic
lines once a year.
ELECTRICAL ASSIST SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
Regularly check the connections and cables of the electric as-
sist system components on your bicycle. The connections
must be clean and free from foreign objects. The cables must
be in good condition and not have any cuts or kinks that could
cause short circuits and loss of electrical assist.
The exterior of components such as remote controls and bat-
teries must show no damage that would allow water or other
items to enter.
If there is any damage at all to the electrical components, go to
your Orbea dealer for diagnosis and/or replacement.
See the section of this manual on warnings on the use of
the electrical assist system to find out how to correctly care
for its components.
UPDATES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
Ebike electrical assist systems can have improvements or up-
dates that improve the operation of the system. Some updates
to the Shimano STEPS System are done over Bluetooth® when
your bicycle is connected to the Shimano Etube Project Cyclist
smartphone app.
When performing a system update via Bluetooth® using the
Etube Project mobile app, it is always advisable to disable
the connection to mobile networks and WiFi to prevent an
incoming call or message from interrupting the update. If
the update is interrupted and this causes the bicycle to mal-
function, take it to an authorised Orbea dealer to have the
update performed using the Shimano SM-PCE02 dealer
interface.
Here you can consult the Shimano Etube Project Cyclist appli-
cation manual:

Other updates may need to be performed by an authorised
dealer. Remind your dealer to check for any available updates
for your bike when you bring it in for maintenance or repairs
Some of these checks and maintenance requirements go
beyond the mechanical knowledge of most bicycle users. If
you are not qualified to perform the necessary mainte-
nance, always go to an Orbea dealer for the maintenance of
your bicycle and its components. Failure to perform proper
maintenance can result in malfunctions and accidents with
serious consequences.
Incorrectly performed maintenance can damage the com-
ponents, which are not covered by the warranty.
SPARE PARTS
Always use original Orbea spare parts or those of the manufac-
turer of the component in question.
The use of non-original spare parts can cause damage re-
sulting

consequences.
The installation of several of the parts shown in this techni-
cal manual is beyond the mechanical knowledge of most bi-
cycle users. If you are not qualified to install these parts,
always go to an Orbea dealer for your bicycle's mainte-
nance. Failure to install spare parts properly can result in
breakdowns, accidents and serious injuries.
The installation of non-original spare parts may cause dam-
age to your bicycle that is not covered by the guarantee.

AFTER AN IMPACT OR A CRASH
Falling off the bicycle is inherent to cycling. If you have an acci-
dent on your Orbea bicycle, make sure you are okay and seek
medical attention if necessary. If you have not suffered any in-
juries, you should check the condition of your bicycle before
continuing.
INSPECT THE FRAME AND THE BICYCLE COMPONENTS
TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
If you detect any problem, do not continue to ride the bicycle.
