• NOTE: The controller comes preassembled at the bottom bracket between the mounting plates.

Adjusting the Width of the Bottom Bracket

• For the CYC kit to fit on different widths of bottom brackets, several spacers come with the kit. These spacers are designed to provide the bottom brackets with the necessary spacing between the motor brackets.
• Please note that the spacers can be adjusted to accommodate different chain lines as needed.
• The preferred mounting set-ups are shown on the next page for 68mm and 73mm bottom brackets. Note that the spacers can be adjusted to accommodate different chain lines as needed.
• Before you begin, ensure that you have removed the original crankset and bottom bracket from your frame. This includes any bearings and/or cups that might have been fitted previously.
• To install your CYC kit, you will need a clean bottom bracket shell on your frame.
• 68mm bottom brackets require a 7mm and a 5mm spacer on the left (non-drive side) and a 3mm spacer on the right (drive side) as shown.
• 73mm bottom brackets require a 7mm & 3mm spacer on the left (non-drive side) and no spacer on the right (drive side) as shown.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• You are advised to regularly maintain, clean, and check the status of the bike and motor system as dirt will accumulate throughout the rides and additional strain will be taken by the drivetrain due to the powerful motor system.
• We recommend that users should inspect the bike and motor condition before and after each ride.
• Disconnect all power supplies from the drive unit before starting any work (e.g., inspection, repair of the bike, maintenance work, etc,) on the bike, transportation, or storage. Unintentional activation of the drive could lead to serious damage or injury.
• Never reach into the chains, gears, or any moving parts while the bike is still in operation.
• As the drive unit can get hot after use, be sure to give it some time to cool down before performing any maintenance.
• Store the bike in a cool and dry place, sheltered from direct sunlight and potential rain.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the drive unit. The drive unit may only be repaired and maintained by qualified experts and only replaced with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety/warranty of the drive unit is maintained.
• The active moving parts (e.g., chain, gear, speed reducer, etc.) should be regularly lubricated to maintain the desired performance. In case of any abnormal activity, stop using the drive unit immediately and contact your CYC dealer.
• Do not attempt to replace the product parts with the parts that have been found at a local bicycle store as the materials used in the drive unit are specifically designed for their purposes.
• All bolts, nuts, and screws are required to be tightened to the correct torque, if there is anything loose, stay off the bike. Torque specifications for each bolt and nut are provided.
