3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 General information

Please ensure you read the chapters "Before the first ride"
and "Before each ride" before using the pedelec for the first
time.
• If you lend your pedelec to a third party, please give
them this operating manual along with the pedelec.
• Check that all quick releases are safe and secure every
time you ride, and after your pedelec has been left
unused, even for a short period of time. Regularly check
that all bolts and components are secure.
• Never ride with your hands off the handlebars, except
when signaling a change of direction.
When using this product, be sure to follow the instructions
given in the user manual.
• It is recommended that you only use genuine BAFANG
parts.
• The pedelec may suddenly fall over and serious injury
may occur if nuts and bolts are left loosened, or the
product is damaged or improperly adjusted.
• When performing maintenance operations (replacing
parts, for example), be sure to wear goggles to protect
your eyes.
• Please refer to the manuals provided along with the
product for information uncovered by this manual.
• After reading the user manual carefully, keep it in a safe
place for later reference.

3.2 For your safety

Always apply the Pedelec's brakes before placing your foot on
the pedal. The motor will drive forward as soon as you push
down the pedal. This force may be unfamiliar and can lead to
falls, danger or even traffic accidents, which could result in
injury.
• Do not pay too much attention to the cycle display while
riding, otherwise you may fall off the pedelec.
• Check that the wheels are securely attached to the
pedelec before you start riding. If the wheels are not

securely installed, the pedelec may fall over and serious
injury may result.
• When riding a pedal-assisted electric pedelec,
make sure that you are fully familiar with the starting
characteristics of the pedelec before riding it. If the
pedelec starts off suddenly, accidents may occur.
• Make sure the pedelec's lights are on before riding at
night.
• It is vital that all bolted connections on the pedelec
have the correct torque in order to ensure that they are
secure. An incorrect torque can damage the screw, nut
or component. Always use a torque spanner to tighten
screw joints. You are not able to correctly tighten these
bolted connections without this specialist tool!

3.3 Installation and Maintenance

It is vital that all bolted connections on the pedelec have the
correct torque in order to ensure that they are secure. An
incorrect torque can damage the screw, nut or component.
Always use a torque spanner to tighten screw joints. You are
not able to correctly tighten these bolted connections without
this specialist tool!
Before performing any kind of work on your Pedelec, turn off
the electric motor unit and remove the battery. Not doing so
may result in serious injury and/or electric shock.
The frequency of maintenance will vary depending on riding
conditions. Periodically clean the chain using an appropriate
chain cleaner. Do not use alkaline or acidic cleaning agents to
remove rust under any circumstances. If such cleaning agents
are used, they may damage the chain and serious injury may
result.

3.4 Safety Precautions

• Please follow the instructions given in the user manuals
for your riding safety.
• Regularly examine the battery and the charger for
damage, especially the cable, plug and casing. If the
battery or charger is damaged, it must not be used until
it has been repaired.
