Safety Notes

en
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "Batterie" used in these operating
instructions refers both to standard batteries
(batteries with holder on the bike frame) and to
rear rack batteries (batteries with holder under
the rear rack).
Keep the charger away from rain or
moisture. The penetration of water
into a battery charger increases the
risk of an electric shock.
Only charge Bosch lithium-ion batteries
approved for eBikes with the voltages list-
ed in the technical data. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamina-
tion can lead to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger,
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do
not use the battery charger. Never open the
battery charger yourself. Have repairs per-
formed only by a qualified technician and
only using original spare parts. Damaged
battery chargers, cables and plugs increase
the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on eas-
ily inflammable surfaces (e.g., paper, tex-
tiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of
the battery charger during the charging proc-
ess can pose a fire hazard.
Vapours can escape in case of damage and
improper use of the battery. Provide for
fresh air and seek medical attention in case
of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
Supervise children. This will ensure that
children do not play with the charger.
Bosch ebike Systems
Children or persons that owing to their
physical, sensory or mental limitations or to
their lack of experience or knowledge, are
not capable of securely operating the charg-
er, may only use this charger under supervi-
sion or after having been instructed by a
responsible person. Otherwise, there is dan-
ger of operating errors and injuries.
Connect the battery charger to a mains
supply that is properly connected to earth.
Socket and extension cord must have an
operative protective conductor.
Please read and observe the safety warn-
ings and instructions enclosed in the oper-
ating instructions of the battery and drive
unit/drive HMI, as well as in the operating
instructions of your eBike.
A short version of important safety warnings
in English, French and Spanish with the fol-
lowing content can be found on the bottom

Products sold in GB only: Your product is
fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to

If the plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropri-
ate plug fitted in its place by an authorised
customer service agent. The replacement
plug should have the same fuse rating as the

The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should
never be inserted into a mains socket else-
