Belt Drive - Qwic RD10 Bedienungsanleitung

Belt drive

Gates CDX belt drive
The Performance MN380 has been equipped with a belt
drive. Belt drive is an excellent choice for high powered
mid-drive motors such as the Brose model. The belt
drive is surprisingly silent and almost maintenance free.
Belt drives do not need lubrication, which makes it a
lot cleaner than regular chain drive. For this reason the
Performance MN380 is not equipped with a chaincase.
You can clean the belt with plain water. Do not use a
pressure washer as it may damage other parts of your
bicycle while cleaning.

Belt tension
Proper belt tension is key to optimal performance.
If the belt is too tight, it can cause drag and damage
the hub. If the belt is too loose, the belt can skip teeth
and slip. If you notice either one of those two, the belt
tension should be improved. Contact your dealer in this
case to get the belt checked.
Replacing the belt
The Gates CDX belts are known for their excellent
durability. If the belt is properly installed and used, the
belt can last up to 25.000 km without maintenance or
replacement. Your dealer can inspect the belt during
a regular maintenance check to see whether your belt
or cogs are wearing and need to be replaced. In case
any tooth are broken off the belt, please contact your
dealer directly.
It is important to properly align the belt. If the
alignment is not perfect, the belt can wear
!
more quickly and cause noise. The belt can
not be pried or pushed of the chainwheel like
regular chains. Only let an accredited dealer
service your belt drive.
