Tightening the toothed belt
Loosen the screws A1 on both sides of the dro-
pout . You only need to loosen the
screws until the dropout can move freely .

Tighten the chain/toothed belt using the adjusting
screw A2 . You have reached the correct chain
tension when the chain is still able to move up
and down slightly in the centre (10-15 mm) . Use
a belt tension measuring device to check that
the belt tension is correct . Consult the belt ma-
nufacturer's instructions to determine the correct
tension .

Nm . Check that the dropout and rear wheel are
firmly attached.

17.1 Hydraulic brakes
It is possible that brake fluid may escape from
the system due to leaky cables and connections .
This can negatively impact the effectiveness of
the brakes . Check the pipes and connections for
tightness before each ride .
Do not ride with your FLYER if fluid is leaking from
the braking system . Allow a FLYER specialist re-
tailer to undertake repair work on this part imme-
diately . The danger of your brakes failing in this
condition is very high .
Ask your FLYER specialist retailer for detailed
instructions regarding the operation and special
features of the e-bike braking system, even if you
are an experienced cyclist. Practise in a quiet,
safe area with no traffic.
If you have any questions about assembling, set-
ting up, servicing or operating this part of your
bike, please contact a FLYER specialist retailer .
A trigger point should be clearly noticea-
ble after approximately a third of the way
when pulling the brake lever .
Do not start to ride if the brake lever
can be pulled up to the handlebars . In
this case, the FLYER is not safe for op-
eration . It is then essential to visit your
FLYER specialist retailer and have the
brake adjusted or repaired .
Brakes are safety-related components .
Have the setting and maintenance work
performed by your FLYER specialist re-
tailer . Only original spare parts may be
used . Otherwise it is possible that the
functionality of your FLYER e-bike may
be impacted or damaged. No modifica-
tions of the brake system are permitted .
Do not brake continuously or too hard on
long downhill section, as your brakes
might overheat leading to reduced brak-
ing power . Alternate between applying
the front and back brake on long and
steep downhill sections to allow the oth-
er brake to cool . It is preferable to brake
sharply for a shorter time when taking
bends or if you are riding too fast . This
allows the brakes to cool down in the
meantime .
