WARNING
Inattention on the road.
Risk of accident and injury!
x Familiarise yourself with the features of the gear shifting
system before your first ride.
x Only operate the gear shifting system if it will not take any of
your attention off the road.
x Stop if you cannot operate the gear shifting system safely,
e.g. in the event of a malfunction.
NOTE
Increased wear and damage due to operating the gear shifting
system incorrectly.
Risk of damage!
x Do not pedal hard when shifting gears.
x Do not back-pedal when shifting gears.
x Shift down in good time before inclines.
Depending on your cycle model, a twist-grip control or shift lever with gear display may
be installed. Twist-grip controls with a gear display are generally installed, and these are
described here as an example.
Hub shifting systems are either stepless or have a number of gear levels.
x If you have no experience with gear shifting systems, have your dealer explain how
the shifting system is operated.
