must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal bulges, visible canvases and
other damage.
Do not inflate tyres beyond the permissible value reported by the manufacturer
on the side surface of the tyres.
6.2.3 Braking
Perform a visual inspection of the braking system verifying that there are no
damaged cables or lubricants in the braking surfaces of the brake discs. Check
the operation of the brakes with a low-speed braking test on flat , obstacle-
free terrain, first with the rear brake and then with the front one.
NEGATIVE VERIFICATION
In the event that, during the preliminary checks, defects of any kind should
be found and even a single verification is negative, DO NOT RIDE THE PEDAL-
ASSISTED BICYCLE.
Immediately activate all measures to carry out a proper repair and, if
necessary, contact the authorized dealer or an authorized workshop.
6.2.4 Frame and saddle position
Check that the frame and saddle are fixed correctly and positioned in the most
comfortable configuration for the rider for complete control of the bike.

7.1 Use of the bicycle
Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle in places open to traffic, it is
advisable to familiarize yourself with the behavior of the vehicle.
The first uses must be made in private environments away from traffic, other
cyclists or obstacles of any kind. The driver must adapt the driving speed of
the pedal-assisted bicycle to the conditions of the route and the presence of
other vehicles or pedestrians. Especially when facing curves you have to keep
a moderate speed (the smaller the radius of the curve, the lower the speed).
When the driver stops pedaling or the speed reaches 25 km/h, the electric
motor no longer provides assistance and the bicycle proceeds completely
managed by the Pedals.
It is essential to gain experience in driving the pedal-assisted bicycle,
before proceeding at a high speed. In case you do not want to use the motor,
simply remove the battery or set the level 0 of assistance.
7.2 Braking
To minimize the stopping distances of the vehicle it is necessary to suddenly
stop the pedaling and, subsequently, apply braking force gradually so as not
to destabilize the middle.
Encourage the use of the rear brake under braking to stabilize the bicycle.
DRIVING CONDUCT
Excessive braking force can trigger harmful phenomena such as locking the
wheel or overturning the vehicle. It is very dangerous to brake when
cornering: you may lose control of the bike.
7.3 Bicycle parking
The bicycle is not equipped with a side support stand , therefore, before
abandoning the bicycle check that it is resting on a stable ground and that
remains in a stable position.
The bicycle must be parked in the prepared parking areas and, in any case,
without obstructing the passage paths, emergency exits , electrical panels and
workstations antifire.

8.2.2 Wheel control
Through the special inflation valve on the rims, check the inflation pressure
of the tires using a com- pressor and a gun with pressure gauge, or a pump.
Check the status of the tread, the rim and the attachment of the rims to the
hubs. In case of tyre replacement , please contact your authorised dealer or a
qualified tyre dealer.
Do not inflate tyres beyond the permissible value reported by the manufacturer
on the side surface of the tyres .
8.2.3 Brake functioning check
The brakes must be adjusted in such a way as to ensure effective braking and,
at the same time, the control levers must have an adequate stroke to be able
to modulate braking: in other words the brakes must not be too slow or too
pulled. Check that brake system discs and pads are not contaminated with oils
or soaps. Check the effectiveness of the braking system on flat terrain and at
low speeds. Check annually the wear of the brake pads by going to authorized
personnel.
Brake adjustment should only be carried out by authorized personnel.
8.3 Maintenance and weekly checks
8.3.1 Washing and cleaning
The cleaning of the pedal-assisted bicycle is not only a matter of decorum,
but also allows you to immediately detect a possible defect in the same.
In order not to damage or compromise the operation of the various components,
especially the electrical parts, cleaning must be carried out taking some
precautions. It is absolutely forbidden to direct jets of pressurized water
towards the electrical parts, the motor and the battery, for which washing
with a sponge is recommended.
Before starting the pedal-assisted bicycle, dry completely with low-pressure
compressed air and check that there is no residual moisture left on the
electrical components.
8.3.2 Lubrication and chain tension control
It is important to periodically clean and lubricate the chain to avoid
corrosion due to weathering.
- Wipe the entire length of the meshes with a rag.
- Spray on all meshes a special grease in spray for transmission chains.
Check the correct tension of the chain by placing the gearbox in the two
different extreme positions allowed by the sprocket pack.
CORRECT CHAIN LUBRICATION
Be extremely careful not to let the lubricant go on the brakes or tires of the
bicycle. This can lead to the occurrence of serious injuries!!
8.3.3 Frame and bolt control
The load-bearing frame of the pedal-assisted bicycle and the welds must be
free of visible defects such as: cracks, deformations, incisions, corrosions,
etc. Make sure all the bolts of the pedal-assisted bicycle are tightly
tightened.
8.4 Monthly maintenance and checks
8.4.1 Control of electrical circuits and components
Check the condition and fastening of the battery cables: the sheaths of the
electrical cables must be in good condition and the terminals must be tightly
tightened, not corroded and, if necessary, covered with protective and
insulating grease.
8.4.2 Control and adjustment of the rear derailleur
Adjustment of the lower and upper limit switches of the gearbox: Turn the two
screws (Ref. U-T- Figure 12) so that the chain does not come out. The chain
displacement device must be in line with both the larger and smaller gear
(Ref. Figure 13).Adjust the tension of the cable by acting on the
appropriate control to ensure the immediate response of the rear derailleur to
the control of the handlebar (Ref. Figure 14).
To prevent damage to the gearbox, it is recommended not to exert
too much pressure on the pedals while changing gear. So avoid changing when
making an effort or driving on a slope.
