FISCHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance and upkeep

You should regularly check the links of the rear fork for play. Grip the frame securely and attempt to move the rear wheel from side to side. You can also test for play in the shock absorber at- tachment by rapidly lifting and dropping the rear wheel. If you a) notice play anywhere or b) hear rattling, please contact us on our service hotline. Do not use your pedelec un- til it has been repaired. The functionality and secure fit of the suspension parts are vital for your safety. Clean and check your full suspension pedelec on a regular basis! Warm water with a little washing up liquid or gentle cleaning agents are suitable for cleaning this part of the pedelec.

If you have a full suspension frame with a short seat tube which is open at the bottom, the seat post can only be lowered to the point that it does not touch the spring element when it uses its full travel.

Only have components replaced by original spare parts from the manu- facturer or parts approved by the

manufacturer.

Please have your pedelec checked by a specialist retailer on a regular basis. Please contact us on our ser- vice hotline. Our Fischer customer service technicians identify damages and worn com- ponents and can advise you on choosing any necessary replacements. Refrain from repairing key parts yourself (frame, fork, handlebars, stem, headset, brakes, lights). The pedelec and all mechanical parts are subject to wear, tear and heavy use. Different materials and compo- nents can react to wear and tear from heavy use in different ways. If a component is used for longer than it is designed for, it may sud- denly stop working and possibly lead to injury or cause additional damage. Any kind of tear, puncture or colour change seen in an over- used area indicates that the component’s use has reached its limit; the component should in this case be replaced.

Tighten all screws to the recom- mended torque to avoid screws fal- ling out or breaking and parts falling

off (see page 38).

Full suspension pedelecs are not suitable for use with trailers and child bike trailers! The bearings and attachments are not designed to withstand this sort of force. This could result in wear and damage with serious consequences.
