Transport; Maintenance/Cleaning - Bosch RIDE+ Manual Del Propietário

Transport

 If you carry your eBike outside of your car, e.g. on a
luggage rack, remove the on-board computer and
the eBike battery pack in order to avoid damaging
them. (If the on-board computer cannot be fitted onto a
bracket, it is not possible to remove it from the bicycle.
In this case, the on-board computer may remain on the
bicycle.)
 Always remove the battery pack from the bicycle be-
fore transporting the bicycle on a vehicle bike rack.
Failure to remove the battery pack when using a vehicle
bike rack can lead to death or serious injury. The battery
may detach during transport and cause an accident to
following vehicles.
 Always use an approved and compatible bicycle rack
when transporting your eBike. The Bosch Drive Sys-
tem adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to your bicycle
rack manual to be sure your eBike is compatible. Over-
loading a bike rack can result in death or serious injury.
 Use proper lifting techniques because electric bikes
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housings are undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in
such a way that it cannot move around in the packaging.
Notify your parcel service that the package contains
dangerous goods. Please also follow possibly more de-
tailed national regulations. Always check the state and
federal regulations before attempting to ship your battery.
In case of questions concerning transport of the battery
packs, please contact an authorized Bosch eBike dealer.
Bosch eBike dealers can also provide suitable transport
packaging.

Maintenance/Cleaning

WARNING
 Your Bosch Drive System components are mainte-
nance-free. Do not open any of the components. Ser-
vice should only be carried out at an authorized Bosch
eBike dealer. Failure to follow the above warning may
result in death or serious injury. Refer to your bicycle
manual or component manual for all non-Bosch Drive
System components.
 Always remove the battery pack before performing
any bicycle inspection, maintenance or repair.
Failure to remove the battery pack before performing
bicycle inspection, maintenance or repair can lead to
serious injury.
 If you suspect that something is loose, do not ride
your bike. See your Bosch eBike dealer; only a qualified
service provider should perform work on your Bosch
Drive System. All nuts, bolts, screws require the correct
tightening force. Too little force and the fastener may
not hold securely. Too much force and the fastener can
stretch, deform or break, or the threads can be
stripped. Either way, incorrect tightening force can
result in component failure, which can cause you to lose
control and fall.
 Do not paint any components of the Bosch Drive
System as this may cause premature failure of the
components.
Careful Handling of the eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures for
the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, on-board
computer and battery pack against extreme temperatures
(e.g., from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation).
The components (especially the battery pack) can become
damaged because of extreme temperatures.
It is recommended to have your eBike system checked by
an expert at least once a year (including mechanical parts
and to update the system software).
– The eBike manufacturer or dealer may also base the ser-
vice date on the distance traveled and/or a period of
time. In this case, the on-board computer will show you
every time it is switched on that the service date is due
in the text indication d by displaying "
4 s.
Please contact an authorized bicycle dealer for service or
repairs to the eBike.
