T urn the adjustment nut anticlockwise. 2.
3.4 Adjusting the height and angle of the handlebars DANGER Ask your DCW/RU dealer to do this, otherwise there is a risk of the handlebars loosening, leading to falls and serious injuries. 3.5 DANGER Practise braking in a safe place before venturing into traffic. The braking action may be stronger or weaker than you are used to. Serious accidents can happen if you do not familiarise yourself with the braking action. Practise until you feel confident enough. Dismount if you are unsure about a situation.
3.7 Chain* 3.7.1 Chain tension Measuring chain tension 1. Remove the pedelec battery. 2. Press the chain up or down at its tautest point. The tension is correct if you can move the chain up and down by about 5 mm. 3. Check the chain at four or five points over a complete revolution of the crank. Bicycle chain WARNING Always remove the battery before starting to work on the pedelec. The system could switch itself on unexpectedly and you could be seriously injured. Adjusting chain tension 1.
3.7.2 Checking for wear 3.8 Drive belt* 1. Remove the pedelec battery. 2. Check chain wear with a chain wear indicator or a vernier calliper. 3.

Bicycle belt WARNING Always remove the battery before starting to work on the pedelec.
3.8.1 Belt tension 6. Pluck the belt so that it vibrates like a guitar string. The app converts the sound into the natural frequency of the belt. Measuring belt tension There are various methods of measuring the tension of the drive belt. One of these is the Carbon Drive app, which measures the tension based on the natural frequency (Hz) of the belt length. Smartphone operating system iOS Android 7. Turn the crank a quarter of a revolution and repeat the measurement. 8.

3.10.3 Tyres DANGER Do not either overinflate or underinflate the tyres. If the tyre pressure is too high, at worst, the tyre could burst, causing you to fall off. On the other hand, if the tyre pressure is continuously too low, the tyre can wear out prematurely. The maximum permissible pressure is marked on the side of tyre in bar and pounds per square inch. You can check the tyre pressure for yourself using a tyre pressure gauge. Alternatively, you can ask your DCW/RU dealer. 3.
3.11.1 Lockout system 3.11.2 Air system* If your suspension forks are fitted with a lockout system it is possible to lock the suspension. There are some riding situations where that can be useful: for example, if you are riding up a hill or if you are standing up from the saddle when accelerating. To switch the suspension to fixed, turn the rotary control on the right hand side of the fork to 'LOCK' (or alternatively: $). To reactivate the suspension, turn the control to the 'OPEN' position.

6.9 Tips 6.9.1 Transporting your pedelec WARNING Remove panniers and other attachments during transport, as they can come off and cause serious accidents. Always remove the battery before transporting the pedelec. There is a risk of injury due to accidental activation of the button. Furthermore, the battery can fall out of the docking station and become damaged. Use a special battery bag that protects the battery from heat, shocks and impacts.
6.9.3 Luggage rack 6.9.3.1 Safety information Position Over the rear wheel Maximum carrying capacity 25 kg* Use of child seats Permitted if the luggage rack has a maximum carrying capacity of 25 kg. Tested in accordance with DIN EN 14872 DANGER *Check for different specifications on the luggage rack itself or in the luggage rack manufacturer's installation instructions. Otherwise it may result in the luggage rack fracturing.
DANGER Carry your luggage in side-mounted panniers. Distribute the weight evenly to ensure safer riding characteristics. 6.9.4 Child seats The use of child seats is generally permitted for the Impulse 2.0 pedelec. But please observe the following safety instructions: DANGER The maximum carrying capacity of the luggage rack must not be exceeded 6.9.3 Luggage rack P. EN-57, otherwise there is a risk it may break causing serious injuries to the child being carried.
CAUTION Cover helical springs. If there are coil springs underneath your saddle, cover them up. A child being carried on the rear carrier can trap their fingers in them. 6.9.5 Storage 1. Remove the battery from the pedelec. 2. Store the battery in a dry, not excessively warm room. The battery should not be exposed to direct sunshine. The recommended storage temperature range is 0 to 20°C. 6.9.6 Cleaning WARNING Remove the battery before cleaning the pedelec.
Drive unit CAUTION Do not clean the drive unit when it is warm (e.g. straight after a ride). You may burn yourself otherwise. Wait until the drive unit has cooled down. 1. Remove the battery from the pedelec. 2. Clean the outside of the drive unit with a soft, damp cloth. Display and easy-reach control 1. Clean the outside of the display and easy-reach control with a soft, damp cloth. 7. Battery 7.
WARNING WARNING Keep batteries away from sparks and fires. Do not expose batteries to temperatures above 40˚C. They can explode and cause serious burns and fires. Further consequences can include malfunctions and a limited battery life. Keep batteries away from sources of heat (e.g. direct sunlight and radiators). When charging the battery make sure there is sufficient ventilation and observe the permitted ambient temperature range: 0-40˚C.
CAUTION IMPORTANT Batteries must not be immersed in water. This presents a risk of explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the surrounding burning material. Class D extinguishers (for use on metal fires) are better suited for this. If it is possible to take the battery safely outside, smother the fire with sand. You need have no worries that the battery beneath you could explode while you are riding in the rain – it is protected from ingress of moisture and condensation.

Total weight: The lower the total weight supported by the bike, the easier it will be to ride VII.I Total weight P. EN-11. Outside temperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in winter), the shorter the range. Insert the battery just before starting off with your pedelec. This way you prevent low temperatures shortening the range.
CAUTION Batteries must not be immersed in water. This presents a risk of explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only the surrounding burning material. Class D extinguishers (for use on metal fires) are better suited for this. If it is possible to take the battery safely outside, smother the fire with sand. You need have no worries that the battery beneath you could explode while you are riding in the rain – it is protected from ingress of moisture and condensation.

Description Cause Remedy Motor noise a) There are various reasons for motor noise – it is not always due to a mechanical fault. For example, the following factors can negatively affect noise: »» Excessively high cadence with a low load. »» Very high assist level (e.g. riding uphill). »» Derailleur gear (as opposed to a gear hub). b) Chain/belt tension too high. b) Reduce chain/belt tension. If necessary, ask your DCW/RU dealer 3.7.1 Chain tension Page EN-20 3.8.1 Belt tension Page EN-22.
Display Cause Remedy "Communication error with the battery"/ Battery charge level indication on the display flashes a) No connection to battery. a) Remove battery and reinsert it. b) Dirty contacts. b) Clean the battery discharge plug and docking station contacts with a soft, dry cloth. c) The battery is damaged. c) Damaged batteries must not be charged or used for any other purpose.

10. Torque settings DANGER Only use proper tools to tighten screws and bolts. Observe the specified torque setting. The component manufacturer's torque settings take precedence (where available). Failure to comply can result in screws/bolts becoming loose, tearing away or fracturing. If that happens while riding the bike, components may come off and you could have a severe crash. If fixings are overtightened other components can also be damaged.
