FISCHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before each ride Before every ride, please check that: • The lights and bell are working and safely se- cured. • The brakes are working and are safely secu- red. • The cables and fittings are not leaking if you have a model with hydraulic brakes. • The tyres and rims are free of foreign objects and bear no damage and turn smoothly, parti- cularly after riding off-road. • The tyres have a sufficient tread depth. • The spring elements are working and safely secured. • Secure fit of screws, nuts, quick-release axles and quick releases (see page 15 and 38), even if the vehicle was only left unattended for a short period of time. • There are no deformations or damage on the frame and fork. • The handlebars, stem, seat post and seat are correctly and securely fastened and set up in the right position. • The seat post and seat are secure. Try turning the seat or tipping it upwards or downwards. The seat should not move. • If you are using clipless or magnet pedals, ple- ase check that they are working properly. The pedals should release easily and smoothly.

Try to roll the pedelec forwards while pressing the brakes. The rear brake, when operated, must allow the rear wheel to lock, the front brake must lift the rear wheel off the ground. Please make an initial test ride in a safe place where you can familiarise yourself with the new brakes! Mo- dern brakes can behave completely differently than those that you are perhaps used to. The pedelec‘s steering should not rattle or have any play. Check the air pressure in the tyres. You will find information as to the correct tyre pressure on the sides of the tyres. Please adhere to the required minimum and maximum pressure! If you cannot find the recommended pressure values, 2.5 bar / 36 PSI is a suitable pressure for most tyres. If the tyre is narrower than 30 mm or 11/8", fill it to 4 bar / 58 PSI. As a general rule of thumb when you are out on a ride, you can check the tyre pressure by do- ing the following: If you place your thumb on a pumped-up tyre, you should not be able to sig- nificantly change its shape by applying pressure. In addition, check whether there is an indica- tion of maximum tyre pressure stated on the rim. If so, this specified pressure must not be excee- ded. Check the tyres and rims. Look for damage, cracks and deformations, foreign objects, eg glass splinters or sharp-edged stones, etc.

Never ride your pedelec if you notice cuts, tears or holes. Please contact us on our service hotline. It is also necessary for you to check the following components of your pedelec: • Please check that the battery is secure. • Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged for the planned trip. • Familiarize yourself with the functions of the operating element. Due to the performance of the drive system, you are exposed to higher stresses and acceleration as a pe- delec rider than a normal bicyclist. Please keep this in mind. Take regular breaks, par- ticularly on longer rides and if you take lots of rides within a short period of time.
