Important Safety Note; Riding With Cargo Or Passengers; Riding With Children - Tern Quick Haul D7i Bedienungsanleitung

• To make sure the tires are in good shape, spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts
in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged tires before riding the bike.
• Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If
a wheel wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against or hits the brake
pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.
• Make sure the rims are clean and undamaged at the tire bead.
WARNING: Bicycle wheel rims are subject to wear. Your Dealer can explain that some wheel rims have a
rim wear indicator that becomes visible as the rim's braking surface wears. A visible rim wear indicator on the
side of the wheel rim is an indication that the wheel rim has reached its maximum usable life. Riding a wheel
that is at the end of its usable life can result in wheel failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
• Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three inches,
then let it bounce on the ground. If anything sounds, feels or looks loose, do a visual
and tactile inspection of the whole bike. If there are any loose parts or accessories,
secure them. If you're not sure, ask someone with experience to check.
• Nuts, bolts screws & other fasteners: To make sure that the many fasteners on your bicycle are
correctly tightened, refer to the Fastener Torque Specifications in Appendix C of this manual or
to the torque specifications in the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the component
in question. A professional bicycle mechanic with a calibrated torque wrench should torque the
fasteners on your bicycle. If you choose to work on your own bicycle, you must use a torque wrench
and the correct tightening torque specifications from the bicycle or component manufacturer
or from your Dealer. Then have the fasteners you worked on checked by your Dealer as soon as
possible. Note that there are some components that require special tools and knowledge.
DEALER: All other adjustments and repairs should be done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
WARNING: Correct tightening force on fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws – on your bicycle
is important. Too little force, and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much force, and
the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
1.E. Important Safety Note
Read and become thoroughly familiar with the important information on the
lifespan of your bicycle and its components in Appendix B.
1.F. Riding With Cargo or Passengers
Make sure you don't surpass the Max Gross Vehicle Weight with the total load on your bike (Appendix A).
If you are carrying passenger or cargo, secure all loose ends such as dangling straps and loose-
fitting clothing on passengers so that nothing can get caught in your wheels (2.E).
1.G. Riding With Children
WARNING: Never park and leave children on the bike unattended. Wriggling kids can
upset the balance of the bike and cause it to fall over, causing serious injury (2.E).
You may install and use a Child Seat provided that your seat and setup meet the following requirements:
• The Child Seat meets the EN 14344, European Standard for Child's Seats for Bicycles.
• The seat is designed so that any contact between the child's feet and the wheel is impossible.
• The child's fingers are protected against being caught in any part of
the saddle (such as the springs of suspension saddles).
• The carrier (rack) is approved for mounting Child Seats.
INFO: There is a chance not all EN 14344-approved Child Seats will fit your Pedelec. Please
check with your Dealer to see which Child Seats are compatible with your bike model.
