SAFETY NOTES

- Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit must
be repaired only by qualified experts and only with original
spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the drive unit
is maintained. Unauthorised opening of the drive unit will
void warranty claims.
- All components mounted to the drive unit and all other
components of the eBike drive (e.g., the chainwheel,
chainwheel seat, pedals) may be replaced only with iden-
tical components or components specifically approved for
your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer. This protects the
drive unit against overload and damage.
- Remove the battery pack from the eBike before beginning
work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance, work
on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transporting it by car or
plane, or storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike
system poses a risk of injury.
- The eBike system can switch itself on when the eBike is
pushed backwards.
- The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
- The pedals may also rotate when the push assistance is
switched on. When the push assistance is activated, make
sure that your legs are a sufficient distance away from the
rotating pedals. There is a risk of injury.
- Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for your
eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery packs can
lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When using other
battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any liability and
warranty.
- Do not make any modifications to your eBike system or fit
any other products which would be suitable for increasing
the performance of your eBike system. This normally redu-
ces the lifetime of the system and risks damage to the drive
unit and the bike. There is also a risk of losing the guaran-
tee and warranty claims on the bike you have purchased.
By handling the system improperly you are also endange-
ring your safety and that of other road users, thus running
the risk of high personal liability costs and possibly even
criminal prosecution in the event of acci-
dents attributable to manipulation.
- Please observe all national regulations on registering and
using eBikes.
- Please read and observe the safety warnings and instruc-
tions enclosed in the operating instructions of the battery
pack as well as in the operating instructions of your eBike.
- Do not open the battery pack. Danger of short-circuiting.
Opening the battery pack voids any and all warranty
claims.Protect the battery against heat (e.g. prolonged sun
exposure) and fire and from being submerged in water. Do
not store or operate the battery near hot or flammable ob-
jects. There is a risk of explosion.
- Keep the battery pack not being used away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob-
jects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery-pack terminals together may
cause burns or a fire. For short-circuiting damage caused
in this manner, any and all warranty claims through Bosch
shall be invalid.
- Do not place the charger or battery pack near to flam-
mable materials. Charge battery packs only when dry and
in a fireproof area. There is a risk of fire due to the heat
generated during charging.
- The eBike battery must not be left unattended while char-
ging.
- Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery pack may
cause skin irritations or burns.
- Battery packs must not be subjected to mechanical im-
pacts. There is a risk that the battery pack will be damaged
causing vapours to escape. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system. Provide for fresh air and seek medical
attention in case of complaints.
- The battery may give off fumes if it becomes damaged
or is used incorrectly. Provide a fresh air supply and seek
medical advice in the event of pain or discomfort. These
fumes may irritate the respiratory tract.
- Charge the battery pack only with original Bosch battery
chargers. When using non-original Bosch chargers, the
danger of fire cannot be excluded.
- Use the battery pack only together with eBikes that have
an original Bosch eBike drive system. This is the only way
to protect the battery pack against dangerous overload.
- Do not use the rack-type battery pack as a handle. Lifting
the eBike up by the battery pack can cause damage to the
battery pack.
- Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
- Keep the charger away from rain or moisture. The pene-
tration of water into a battery charger increases the risk of
an electric shock.
- Only charge eBike-approved Bosch lithium-ion battery
packs. The battery-pack voltage must match the battery-
pack charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
- Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead
to danger of an electric shock.
- Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and
plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery char-
ger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs
performed only by a qualified technician and only using ori-
ginal spare parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables and
plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
- Use caution when touching the charger during the char-
ging procedure. Wear protective gloves. Especially in high
ambient temperatures, the charger can heat up conside-
rably.
- Supervise children during use, cleaning and mainte-
nance. This will ensure that children do not play with the
charger.
- Children or persons that owing to their physical, sensory
or mental limitations or to their lack of experience or know-
ledge, are not capable of securely operating the charger,
may only use this charger under supervision or after ha-
ving been instructed by a responsible person. Otherwise,
there is danger of operating errors and injuries.
- A sticker in English is adhered to the bottom of the char-
ger. This says: Use ONLY with BOSCH lithium-ion batte-
ries.
- Do not use the on-board computer as a handle. Lifting the
eBike up by the on-board computer can cause irreparable
damage to the on-board computer.
- Make sure to not be distracted by the display of the on-
board computer. If you do not focus exclusively on the
traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want
to make entries in your on-board computer other than swit-
ching the assistance level, stop and enter the appropriate
data.
