Cleaning; Warnings - Bosch Drive Unit Speed Manual Original

9 Cleaning

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth,
a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning
agents and additional information from your specialist
cycle shop.
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike.
When wiping down the battery, be careful not to touch and
connect the contacts on the underside. This could cause
the battery to switch off.

10 Warnings

› Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up
on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with
your hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
› If you are transporting your Pedelec by car,
remove the battery beforehand. Transport the
battery in a safe receptacle separately to the
Pedelec.
› The Pedelec operates using low voltage
(36 volts). Never attempt to operate the
Pedelec using power from a source other
than a suitable genuine battery. The desig-
nations of approved batteries are listed in
➠ Chapter 11 "Technical data".
› Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when
it is open and connected to the power supply
must only be carried out by the specialist cycle
shop.
› When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing
cables or damaging them with sharp edges.
› If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be
assumed, take it out of operation and make sure
it cannot be used until you have it checked by a
specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no
longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable
battery show signs of damage.
› Keep children away from electrical appliances. If
children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if there is a possibility they could
insert objects into the appliance through aper-
tures in the housing. This poses the danger of
fatal electric shock.
› When charging the battery, make absolutely sure
the charger is correctly supported on its four
feet. It must not be covered when in operation. It
must be possible for the heat produced to dissi-
pate via the surrounding ventilation slots on the
top and bottom.
