5. Care and maintenance
The X30 system is designed for prolonged use. There are
only a few guidelines to follow to prolong the life of the
system.
WARNING
All parts of the X30 system are fully replaceable, but
please note that only MAHLE service personnel or au-
thorised MAHLE dealers may change or manipulate
certain parts.
Contact the retailer or a bicycle dealer for information on
installation and adjustment of products not listed in the
owner's manual.
Do not disassemble or modify this product.
Small waterproof connectors are available. Do not unnec-
essarily repeat switching on and off, as this may impair
functionality.
The elements are designed to be fully waterproof to with-
stand wet weather driving conditions. However, do not
deliberately put them in water.
The warranty does not cover natural wear and tear or
deterioration of the products due to normal use and the
passage of time.
The X30 system can be installed on children's e-Bikes, but
do not leave the child unattended and follow the e-Bike
manufacturer's safety instructions for this type of use.
Cleaning and maintenance should not be undertaken by
children without supervision.
It is prohibited for children to tamper with the components
or the entire e-Bike system.
5.1. Your e-bike care
5.1.1 General system care
Keep your e-Bike system clean and dry.
Never wash any of the components of your e-Bike with
a pressure washer or high-pressure cleaning system, be-
cause if water gets into any of the components, this can
lead to malfunctions or rust, or to safety problems such as
fire or explosion. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents
for cleaning. If you need to remove mud or other elements,
do not use sharp or metallic objects that could damage
the surface.
Store your e-bike system in a cool, dry, temperature-con-
trolled place.
The standard environmental conditions of the system are:
• Charging temperature: from 0 ºC to 45 ºC.
• Discharge temperature: from -20 ºC to 60 ºC.
• Relative humidity: 65 % ± 20 %.
To ensure the correct charge level, you can check the
length of the LED line on the control unit, or connect the
Pulsar ONE display or phone app to the bike.
Energy consumption can increase considerably during
winter use, especially when the temperature drops below
0 °C. Therefore, fully charge your e-Bike and the exter-
nal batteries before any winter use and remember that the
range of your e-Bike may be reduced.
5.1.2 Engine care
Before cleaning, make sure that the wheel is in the correct
position and the connector is fully connected. After clean-
ing, check that the engine and connector are dry.
CAUTION
When replacing the engine rotor, make sure that the
screws meet the following specifications:
Min. 8 mm
Max. 10 mm
5.1.3 Battery care
The batteries in MAHLE systems use high-quality energy
storage cells in order to provide maximum performance.
There are a number of guidelines to follow when using bat-
teries to prolong their life. These guidelines are regarding
the environmental conditions in which the battery oper-
ates, the way the MAHLE system is used, storage, etc.
While standard temperature and humidity ranges and rec-
ommended charge levels are set out in other sections de-
pending on the situation, more restrictive criteria and rec-
ommended guidelines for extending the life of the various
batteries in the system are set out below.
In general
•
Full battery charging/discharging can shorten the
life of the battery. It is recommended to work in the
range of 20 to 80 % of its capacity.
•
The optimum relative humidity of the environment is
less than 80 %
During discharging
•
Optimal discharge temperature range (use): 20 ºC
to 35 ºC.
•
Maximum temperature range: -20 º to 60 ºC.
During charging
•
Optimum charge temperature range: 20 ºC to 35 ºC
•
Maximum charge temperature range: 0 ºC to 45 ºC.
Max. 2.8 mm
