Pedal Installation

1. Pay attention to the letters to distinguish from the left and right pedals, L represents the left pedal and R the right pedal.

LUBRICATION

Use light machine oil (20W)

between the pedal and the pedal spindle

Chain| Every 6 months| Apply 1 drop of machine oil to every roller of

the chain

Underframe| Every 6 months| Contact professionals
Motor| Every 6 months| Contact professionals

Please remove dust before lubrication and remove lubricant after lubrication.

CHAIN TENSION

Please thoroughly read the chain tension adjustment manual attached for a detailed understanding of chain tension adjustment.

• Ensure to lubricate and clean the chain so that ii functions well.
• Chain tension should be adjusted correctly by qualified technical personnel.
• Maintenance should be conducted especially in a humid or dusty environment.
• Chain tension should be about 15mm.
• While adjusting the chain, loosen the nut of the rear spindle, adjust the fastening screw of the chain and tighten the screw of the rear spindle.

Gear Adjustment

Know the gear level:

• The gear has the same working principle as ordinary bicycle, which is unrelated to the motor.
• The DIP shifter is installed on the right of the handlebar. Pull the “+”/ “-” handle to raise/lower the gear.
• The lower the gear level is the more energy will be saved. Vice versa.
• The gear level has been preset upon delivery and needs not be adjusted.
• After used for some time (3 months), the shift cable will be extended and may need to be adjusted.
• A local bicycle store or an exclusive shop of electric bicycle can provide this service.

Wheel Set Damage and Wear

• Ensure the inflating volume of the tires is limited to the recommended value indicated on the side wall of the tires.
• Ensure the tires have patterns and are free from bulge or excess wear.
• Ensure the rims run normally and do not waggle or bend obviously.
• Ensure all wheel spokes are secure and not broken.
• Inspect whether the nut of the spindle is tightened. If the bicycle has a quick-release spindle, please ensure the locking lever is fastened and at OFF position.

Inflation Pressure

While inflating the tires, please be sure to check the tire pressure.

Description of Battery Maintenance and Charging

• Please charge the batteries for 6-10 hours when the battery level decreases to 30%-50% to extend the service life. If stored at a low battery level, the batteries will be exhausted and cannot be reused. Please charge the battery pack fully after long-distance riding. Please do not charge the batteries for a long time (namely “more than 10 hours”) in summer to avoid damage.
• The batteries should be charged monthly during storage.
• The charging temperature should be 0-45 ·c.
• The battery pack may not be fully charged if the temperature is too high or too low.
• The temperature may rise slightly when the batteries are charged, but it should be limited to 50 C. If the indicator light of the charger remains unchanged or the batteries are very hot (the temperature is above 50 t:) after the batteries are fully charged, please consult the seller about maintenance immediately.
• After the batteries are removed from the bicycle, try to reduce vibration and disturbance to avoid damage. Keep the charger far away from water.
• Every battery pack is designed with a charger. Please do not charge the battery pack using other types of chargers to avoid burn-out of batteries and danger thus incurred.
• The batteries should be stored at a temperature of 0-45 C in a clean, cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The batteries should be protected from sunlight, fire, flood and corrosive substances during transportation and storage.
• Please keep the button at the head of the battery holder at “ON” during charging.
