. Do not become overly engaged with the PowerTap display. We recom-
mend familiarizing yourself with computer functions while stationary.
3.The computer,receiver,and hub are water resistant.However,avoid extended submersion or high-pres-
sure sprays directed at PowerTap components.
4.Wash off dirt with a mild detergent on a soft cloth.Wipe excess water off with a dry cloth. Do not apply
kerosene, paint thinner, alcohol, benzine or other such solvents to any PowerTap components.
5.The plastic cover on the hub should be removed only when replacing batteries, or when allowing the
unit to dry after submersion in water. Repeated disassembly may compromise the effectiveness of the
O-ring seals. O-rings should be inspected and replaced if necessary whenever the battery cover is
removed. Use a light coating of grease when reinstalling the battery cap on the O-rings.
6.The PowerTap wheel does not include a quick release skewer. CycleOps recommends using a
steel skewer.
7. Both sides of the PowerTap should be built using a 3x spoke lacing pattern. Because of the design of
the PowerTap, torque is transmitted through the hub to the non-drive side.
8. Electromagnetic interference,such as interference caused by high power lines, may briefly disrupt the
communication between the hub, chest strap and computer.
9. The PowerTap is available only in a 130 & 135mm range of axle lengths to accommodate different
frames and uses. Only use similarly sized frames and hubs.
