Before Every Ride - PINARELLO NytroDust Manual De Usuario Y Mantenimiento

4. BEFORE EVERY RIDE

We recommend that before each ride with your Pinarello Nytro Dust, you carry out a series of
checks for the proper operation of your bike and for your own safety.
Even after a long period of standstill, or during transport, there could be changes to the bike's
performances and settings.
1. Check the front and rear thru-axle fastening. Check that wheels are well secured to the fork and frame.
2. Check all quick-release clamps (e.g. seatpost clamp).
Improper closing of quick-release clamps, other fasteners or through-axles
can cause parts of the bike to come loose and pose a fall hazard.
3. Check that the battery, handlebar devices and motor are properly connected and well secured.
4. Check the battery charge level. Lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect from
repeated charging, so we recommend that you recharge the battery after every ride, especially
long rides. Never let the battery discharge completely.
If a discharged battery is left for a long time without recharging, it could fall
below the minimum safe voltage range. The battery management system will
then permanently switch off the battery, which will no longer be usable.
You should therefore remember to recharge the battery as soon as possible
after use. Please refer to the battery management instructions in the motor
manufacturer's manual.
5. Once the pedal assist system is turned on, check that no error symbols or warning lights
appear on the controller display. Never ride the pedelec if any error or warning signals appear.
6. Check that the battery is properly installed and secured. Never ride a pedelec if the battery is
not properly seated and secured.
7.
Make sure the tires are in good condition and inflated to correct pressure. The recommended
pressure ranges between 1.5 and 2.2 bar (22-32 psi), depending on terrain and weather conditions.
Indications for pressure are usually found on the tire sidewall. Spin the wheels to make sure they
are centred, free of damaged or broken components (axles, spokes, etc.).
8. Check brake operation. Pull the levers completely with the bike stopped, checking that the pressure
point is reached without the lever touching the handlebar. On hydraulic brakes, check for leaks.
9. Lift the pedelec and let it bounce on the wheels from a low height, checking for abnormal
noises or vibrations.
10. Check that the bike is equipped with the devices required by the road laws in force in your
cycling location. It is extremely dangerous to ride without lights or reflectors in poor visibility or
darkness.
11. If applicable, check the correct operation of the suspension (compression and rebound) by
applying pressure to the bike from a standing position.
12. Carefully inspect the bike components for early signs of wear or fatigue, such as cracks,
scratches, deformed shape or altered paint. Repeated low intensity working cycles, especially on
rough uneven surfaces, can lead to material fatigue.
If you detect signs of fatigue or damage on any component of the bike,
contact your local Pinarello dealer to have the component replaced. Do not
use the bike if any components are damaged or show signs of fatigue, as they
can cause sudden failure, posing very high safety risks.
