Gates Carbon Drive™ Transmission - Schindelhauer Bikes Oskar Benutzerhandbuch

5.3. Gates Carbon Drive™
The Gates Carbon Drive™ tooth belt is optimally tensioned on delivery and
does not lengthen after a long period of use. With a correct beltline and belt
tension a significantly higher mileage can be achieved, compared to a chain
drive.
When installed and handled correctly, the Gates Carbon
maintenance-free system that neither requires lubrication nor re-tensioning.
The product itself must be handled with utmost care to avoid damage on the
carbon fibre of the belt. While belts can endure high tensile forces, they are
sensitive to bending, shear force, indentation and severe shock loads. Even
though the carbon fibres of the belt are coated, handling the belt demands
the same care as other carbon fibre products. Faulty installation or
inappropriate handling (like bending or twisting of the belt) may lead to
invisible damage inside the belt. A damaged belt may suddenly rip apart
when stressed during operation. This can result in accidents or severe injury.
Drive belt and sprockets do not need lubrication of any sort. For cleaning, use
only water and a soft brush. Please do not apply any type of aggressive
detergent.
Make sure that body parts do not get between belt and sprockets. Also watch
out for any clothing, like turn-ups on trousers, that might get caught in the
drive system. When you ride the bike, make sure that you wear appropriate
functional clothing.
Schindelhauer Bikes assume no liability for malfunctions or injuries caused by
improper mounting or improper maintenance.
Attention! The carbon fibres inside the tooth belt have a
very high tensile strength and stiffness but are sensitive to
the following handlings that must be strictly avoided:
