Safety Information Intended Use

Safety Information

Intended Use
The intended use of all models is ASTM CONDITION 4, All-Mountain.
Understand your bike and its intended use. Using your bike the wrong way is dangerous. Please read your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for more information about Intended Use and Conditions 1-5.
What is an E-Bike? Electric bikes, also known as “E-Bikes,” are bicycles equipped with an electric pedal-assist drive system. E-Bikes share components common with pedal-only bikes.
What is a Drive System? The drive-assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery, a computer control, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors, and switches). There are many different drive-assist systems for differing uses and bike types. Likewise there are various drive-assist system manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH, Bafang, Yamaha, etc.)

How does the Drive System work?
It is important to know that when the drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive unit engages to provide power only while you are pedaling.
The amount of power provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling force and on the assistance mode/level you set with the handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive-assist will dis-engage.
In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system power reduces progressively and cuts off as the bike reaches the maximum allowable speed. The drive-assist re- engages when speed drops below the maximum allowable speed as long as the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive-assist system is turned OFF, you can pedal the bike normally. The drive system will not engage.
Understand your bike, its drive-assist system, and the intended use of both. Using your bike the wrong way is dangerous.

Manufacturers’ instructions contain important operations, service and maintenance information.

Servicing

This supplement may include procedures beyond the scope of general mechanical aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge may be required. Improper mechanical work increases the risk of an accident. Any bicycle accident has risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
To minimize risk we strongly recommend that owners always have mechanical work done by an Authorized Cannondale Dealer.

DO NOT MODIFY THIS BICYCLE/DRIVE SYSTEM IN ANY WAY FOR ANY REASON. Doing so can result in severe damage, in faulty or in dangerous operating conditions, or in violation of local laws.
Dealers and Owners MUST NOT change, alter, or modify in any way the original components of the bicycle or drive-assist system (e.g., the specified sizing of the gear ratios, i.e., the front chainrings and rear cogs).
Attempts to “hot-rod” or to “improve” the speed of the bike are dangerous to the rider. Use only specified Cannondale and/or manufacturer drive-assist service and replacement parts.
Trailers or Child Carrier or Child Seats
Do not attach a trailer, CHILD CARRIER or child seat to this bicycle.
Attachment of a trailer or child seat to this bicycle can result in a serious accident leading to serious injury or death.

Operation

Safety Information Operation

Always wear an approved bicycle helmet and all other protective gear (e.g., gloves, pads, and cycling shoes).
Importance of practice & rider training – before you ride this bike, practice riding in a safe area free from hazards. Take time to learn the bike’s controls and performance. Practice the controls and to gain the experience necessary to avoid the many hazards you will encounter while riding.
Do not ride “hands-off – Keep your hands on the handlebars when riding the bike. If you remove your hands from the handlebar while riding, you can lose control of the bicycle and crash.
Changing the assistance level while riding: Changing the drive-assistance level while riding will increase or decrease the acceleration of the bike. You should anticipate this change in speed and react appropriately depending on the riding conditions such as on slippery trails, tight turns, or unstable or uneven surfaces. Set assistance level to “eco” (lowest assist) or to “off” before descending technical trails, (e.g., tight downhill switchbacks).
When not riding: Turn the drive system off to prevent unauthorized use.
Do not ride the e-bike without the battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged before every ride to help ensure adequate battery power for necessary lighting and for the drive system.
Do not remove any lighting or reflectors and do not ride if they do not work.
Do not allow children to operate or to come into contact with the e-bike or its parts.
Only turn the drive system on when you are seated ready to ride.
Accidental activation: Always disconnect the battery from the bike before working on the bicycle. If you transport the bike by car or by airplane, obey local regulations regarding transporting a bicycle with a drive system battery. Accidental activation of the bicycle drive system can result in serious injury.

Safety Information Operation
continued from previous page…
Wired system control: If the drive system control device is detached from the mount or if the cables are disconnected or damaged, the drive system will automatically shut off. If this happens, you will have to stop the bike, turn the system off, re-attach the computer to the base, and then turn the system back on to resume operation. Wireless system control: In wireless control systems, the operation of the drive system is controlled using radio frequencies without physical attachment. Therefore, ON/OFF activation is determined by software programming. Please consult the manufacturer’s instructions for information on preventing accidental activation or on restarting the drive system in the event of a recovery from a drive system fault. Your insurance policies – Your insurance policies (e.g., liability, property, and injury) may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is provided, you should contact your insurance company or agent. Also, make sure your speed e-bike is insured and registered according to the local laws. Ride sensibly and safely around others – the application of power by means of the electric motor assist means that riders can reach high speed. Riding faster increases the risks of serious accidents. Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals where you ride. Always operate under control and at a safe speed. Others may not be aware of you. It is your responsibility to anticipate and to react to avoid accidents. E-bikes are heavier than ordinary bikes – always park the bike in a suitable safe area away from children, cars or animals that may come into contact with it. Park the bike so that it cannot fall over and possibly result in injuries. Do not ride into or attempt to ride through water or to submerge any part of the bike. If you ride through water you can lose control of the bike or the drive-assist system can become disabled or damage. You can be severely injured, paralyzed, or killed in an accident if you ignore these warnings.

Be sure to support the bike or swingarm to prevent personal injury or bike damage when removing/ disconnecting linkages of an axle.
To remove the LockR :
1. Loosen the screw 4-6 turns using a T25 Torx key.
2. Tap head of screw with a rubber mallet to un-seat the wedge bolt located on the opposite side.
3. Remove the screw and wedge bolt from the still-installed axle.
4. If the axle did not come out with the screw, insert a 5 mm hex key and turn to free and remove it. If the wedge still sticks, insert a wooden or plastic dowel into the drive side and drive it out.
5. To remove the axle, insert a 6 mm hex key on the non-drive side and turn counter-clockwise until it can be removed.
To install the LockR:
1. Disassemble and clean all parts of the LockR axle. Do not install it assembled.
Inspect the parts for damage (e.g. burrs, scratches, deformity, and wear). Replace the entire LockR assembly if any damage is found.
2. Apply a light coating of a high-quality bicycle bearing grease to all parts.
3. Align the linkage and bearing and insert the threaded end of the pivot axle (1) into the non-drive side.
4. Tighten the inserted pivot axle to 1 Nm using a 6 mm hex key fitted torque wrench from the non-drive side.
NOTICE
Use a calibrated torque wrench. Exceeding 1 N·m will result in permanent damage to the LockR pivot system.

Maintenance Cleaning Your Bike

Cleaning Your Bike
When cleaning your bike: USE ONLY A MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. Clean water and a common dish washing liquid will work best.
COVER SENSITIVE AREAS WITH A CLEAN PLASTIC BAG. Secured temporarily with a rubber band or masking tape, a bag can prevent water damage to various bike components (bearings, electrical controls, connections and sensors, seals, fork / shock adjustment features).
SPRAY OFF BEFORE WIPING. To preserve the appearance of paint, finish, and decals, use a low pressure water hose to first spray off heavy soils and dirt.
CLOSE ALL COVERS.

NOTICE
DO NOT power wash or spray water under high pressure to clean. Power washing will force contaminants into parts where they will promote corrosion, immediately damage, or result in accelerated wear.
DO NOT use compressed air to dry.
DO NOT use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaner/solvents which can damage the finish or attack and destroy both the outside and internal parts.
When rinsing, avoid directing the spray directly at shock/fork adjusters or bearings.

Do not clean the bicycle while connected to the charger. Move the bicycle to an area away from sources of electrical energy or electric appliances.
