Installing the rear wheel
1
Guide the rear wheel axle into the dropouts and ensure that the brake disc (on models with disc
brakes) is inserted between the brake pads. Ensure that the torque reaction collar is aligned so that it
fits into the left dropout (no illustration). Make sure the axle is inserted all the way into the dropouts
2
Tighten the axle nuts to 40Nm (30lb-ft) (= VERY TIGHT!). This torque is essential for the correct func-
tion of the propulsion system. If you do not have a torque wrench, use a normal wrench, and then
have your dealer check the torque of the axle nuts as soon as possible. Use only the original axle nuts;
otherwise you run the risk of damaging the axle threads

4
Keep the motor cables clear of the brake disc (on models with disc brakes) and the motor casing
5
Re-install the cable of the rear wheel brake (rim brakes only), and correctly adjust the rear wheel brake
(no illustration)
6
Place the larger neoprene cover over the plug-in connections, and the smaller neoprene cover closer to
the disc/motor to prevent the cables from contacting any moving portions of the motor
Maintenance and Care
We recommend to have the spoke tension of the rear wheel and the torque of all screws checked by a
qualified dealer after the first 200km (125 miles).
In order to ensure extended use of the propulsion system, all plug-in contacts of the system should be
checked every two to three months and cleaned with a soft and dry brush, if necessary. It must be ensured
that no dirt or humidity penetrates the battery docking station when the battery is removed. The BionX
motor does not require maintenance.
