Before Each Ride; If You Have Fallen - Stromer ST2 S Bedienungsanleitung

Knee angle 90°
When adjusting the height of the seat, nev-
er pull the seat post further out than the maxi-
mum extension length marked! If your tube does
not have a maximum marking, then you must
leave a minimum insertion length of 7.5 cm.
Setting up the angle of the seat
Once you have set the height of the seat, you have
to check that the angle of the seat is suitable. In
general, the upper surface of the seat should be
horizontal. You can adjust this by loosening the
clamping bolts in the seat post.

BEFORE EACH RIDE

Before every ride, please check:
• That the bell/horn, all electrical plug-in con-
nectors and lighting function correctly and are
safely attached
• That the brakes are working safely and are
properly secured
• That the battery box is safely closed with the
battery inside.
• The tightness of the pipes and connections
• Tires and rims for damage, eccentricity and
penetrating alien objects, particularly after
rides off fortified roads
• That the tires have a sufficient tread depth
• That the suspension components are working
properly and are safely secured
• The firm attachment of screws and nuts of quick-
release axles (see "Screw connections" section),
even when the vehicle was only unsupervised
for a short time.
• That the frame and forks are not misshapen or
damaged
• That the handlebars, stem, seat post and seat
are both correctly and securely fastened as well
as set up in the right position
• That the seat post and seat are secure. Try
turning the seat or tipping it upwards or down-
wards. It should not move.
• When you are riding with clipless/step-in ped-
als: Functional testing is required. The pedals
must release easily and without problems.
Do not ride off when you are not completely
sure that your S-Pedelec is in flawless condition.
Have it inspected by a Stromer dealer.
It is particularly important if you use your
S-Pedelec a lot, either for sport or daily use, that
you regularly have all the important parts checked
by a Stromer dealer.
Frame and forks, suspension components and
other parts relevant to your safety such as brakes
and wheels are subject to heavy wear, which can
impact on the operating safety of these parts.
Components might spontaneously fail when the
predetermined usage period or service life is ex-
ceeded. This can lead to falls and serious injury!
Please make these checks before continuing
after a fall or if your S-Pedelec falls over! Alumi-
num parts cannot be safely bent back into shape,
while carbon components can sustain damage
which is not recognizable to the eye!

If you have fallen

Check the whole of the S-Pedelec for changes. These
may be dents and cracks in the frame and the fork,
but also bent components. You must also check the
function and safe attachment of parts that have been
shifted or twisted, e.g. the handlebars or the seat.
