Before Each Ride; After A Fall - Flyer C SERIE Anleitung

Check with your insurance whether your
vehicle and possible risks of handling
lithium/ion .batteries .are .sufficiently .cov-
ered.
9. Before each ride
Please . check . your . FLYER . before . each .
ride, . as . even . after . assembly, . briefly .
leaving the bike in public places or trans-
porting it may cause functions to change
or .parts .to .become .loose.
Before every ride, please check that:
• The lights are working properly and are safely
secured.
• The bell is working safely and is properly se-
cured.
• The brakes are working properly and are se-
cure, and you have checked for wear on the
pads .and .braking .surfaces. .For .hydraulic .sys-
tems: Check the cables and connections for
leaks.
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres-
sure. . Please . read . the . chapter . "Tyres . and .
tubes" . (12.1) . and . the . manufacturer's . instruc-
tions. .These .are .printed .on .the .outside .wall .of .
the .tyres.
• Check the tyres for damage, wear, brittleness,
foreign .objects .and .sufficient .profile .depth.
• Check the wheels for true running and dam-
age.
• Check that the wheels are safely and correctly
attached . by . the . quick-release . fasteners . and .
axles.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working .and .are .safely .secured.
• Check . that . all . quick-release . fasteners, .
quick-release . axles . (even . after . a . brief . period .
left parked and unattended), screws and nuts
are .firmly .attached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor-
mation, .cracks .and .dents.
• Check that handlebars, stem, seat post and
seat .are .secure .and .correctly .positioned.
• Check .that .the .battery .is .charged.
• Check that the battery is correctly and securely
attached.
If .you .are .not .sure .that .your .FLYER .is .in .
perfect technical condition, do not start
your . ride. . Have . your . FLYER . inspected .
and .repaired .first .by .a .FLYER .specialist .
retailer. .If .you .subject .your .FLYER .to .in-
tensive use (in sporting or daily use), we
recommend regular inspection and re-
pairs . by . your . FLYER . specialist . retailer. .
Inspection .procedures .and .intervals .are .
specified .in .Chapter .22. .All .components .
of . the . FLYER . are . safety-related . and .
have .a .specific .service .life.
Exceeding this service life can lead to
unexpected . failure . of . the . components. .
This .can .lead .to .falls .and .serious .injury.
As .is .the .case .with .all .mechanical .com-
ponents, . the . vehicle . is . subject . to . wear .
and .tear .and .high .stress. .Depending .on .
the degree of stress imposed on them,
different materials and parts may react
differently . i n . t erms . o f . w ear . a nd . f atigue. . A .
part . m ay . s uddenly . f ail . a nd . c ause . i njuries .
to the rider when its intended service life
is .exceeded.
Any . kind . of . cracks, . scratches . or . colour .
changes .in .high-stress .areas .are .an .in-
dicator that the service life of the com-
ponent has been exceeded and that it
should .be .replaced.
Do .not .forget .to .take .a .high-quality .bike .
lock with you on the ride so you can park
your .FLYER .and .lock .it .to .an .immovable .
object. .Separately .lock .the .components .
that .are .fastened .with .quick-release .fas-
teners(e.g. .the .front .wheel) .as .required. .
This . will . prevent . theft . of . these . add-on .
parts.
10. After a fall
Have the vehicle and all components checked
for . changes, . damage, . firm . attachment . and . cor-
rect .function .by .a .FLYER .specialist .retailer. .This .
may, in particular, include dents and cracks in the
frame and fork, bent components and parts such
as .the .handlebars .or .a .shifted .or .turned .seat.
Inspection . by . a . FLYER . specialist . retailer . must .
cover the following main points:
• Carefully . check . the . frame . and . fork. . Deforma-
tions can usually be detected when looking at
surfaces .from .different .angles.
• Are .the .seat, .seat .post, .stem .and .handlebars .
still .in .their .correct .positions? .If .this .is .not .the .
case, . do . NOT . move . the . components . back .
from their changed position before loosening
the .relevant .screw .connection. .It .is .essential .to .
adhere .to .the .prescribed .fastening .torque. .alu-
es and information are provided in the "Technical
Data" ..
• Check whether both wheels are correctly and
firmly .attached .to .the .frame .and .fork, .that .both .
the .front .and .rear .wheels .rotate .freely. .Experts .
can see from the distance between the frame
or fork and the wheel whether the wheel turns
without .snagging.
