NOT O.K.
Never install headset spacers above the stem.
Placing spacers above the stem, especially on
forks with a carbon steerer tube, can cause
the expander inside the fork tube to be po-
sitioned above the lower limit of the steerer
tube, which can stress the materials beyond
the use for which they were designed, possibly
causing accidents and serious injuries.
The length of the fork steerer tube must
always be appropriate for the position of
the stem in the fork. The stem must always
be installed in the steerer tube of the fork
so that both fastening bolts on the back of
the stem are positioned above the surface
of the steerer tube of the fork. Never mount
the stem so that the top fastening bolt of
the stem remains above the top edge of the
fork steerer tube. This will stress the mate-
rials beyond the use for which they were
designed, possibly causing accidents and
serious injuries.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
I N T E N DE D U S E
The intended use of all models is ASTM Condition 4,
that includes Condition 1, 2 and 3 as well as technical
natural trails with greater negative gradient and there-
fore greater speeds.
Jumps and drops are frequent and moderate. These mod-
els, given the terrain they are used on, must be inspected
after every use.
The use of a bicycle on this terrain requires technical skills
and may cause beginners to sustain injuries.
For information about all ASTM categories, consult the
General User Manual.

USE AND CARE WARNING
OF THE EL ECT RIC SYSTEM
CO MPO NEN TS A ND THE BATT ERIES
· Do not wash your bike with a pressure washer or sub-
merge it or the electric system components. All the
pedelec system components are protected against rain
and splashes. However, the use of pressure washers
may allow water to ingress into the components and
damage them.
· Avoid transporting your bicycle outside your car when it
is raining. All the pedelec system components are pro-
tected against rain and splashes. However, the speed
of your vehicle may increase the effects of the rain and
damage the components.
· Do not leave your bicycle exposed to high temperatures
for long periods of time. It may damage the components
on your bicycle. Temperatures above 70ºC may cause
· Observe the recommended temperature ranges of use
(discharge), charge and storage (internal battery). The
use, charge and storage outside these recommended
temperature ranges may affect the battery cells and
reduce their life and available range.
The following table shows the maximum and minimum
ranges stated by the cell manufacturer.
Generally, the use, charge and storage of batteries
below 0ºC will affect the available range for charge of
a battery and overtime may reduce the battery life.
TEMPERATURE RANGES
Charge 0ºC - 40ºC
Discharge (Use) -10ºC - 50ºC
Storage 0ºC - 35ºC

· Avoid storing your bicycle (internal battery) or Range
Extender for long periods of time without monitoring the
charge levels.
If planning to store the battery for a long period of time,
charge the battery to 70% of its capacity and check the
charge level every 3 months to charge if necessary.
Never let the charge level to drop below 10% to avoid
damaging the cells.
USE OF THE BATTERY BELOW 10% CHARGE: Avoid
discharging your battery regularly below 10% of charge.
Charge levels below 10% may affect the life of the cells
and the battery balance.
· Avoid charging the bike continuously for more than 5
straight hours and always charge your bicycle or battery
in a place where you have visual access to it so the charger
can be disconnected if any anomaly is detected, such as
· Avoid hitting or dropping your battery. If after a fall or
an impact the external casing of the battery has been
damaged, do not charge or use the battery and contact
your authorized dealer for a full diagnosis.
· Always connect the cables following the orientation in-
dications on the connectors. Connecting the cables not
following the correct orientation may damage the
terminals.
· Before every use, make sure that the charging point
cover is installed correctly to avoid dirt or water ingress
into the port.
Do not use metallic tools to clean the charging point of
foreing objects or dirt. Pay attention not to damage the
terminals during this process.
