2022 Fischer Operating Instructions en V3.2

In current chassis, quick release axles may be used in place of quick releases or bolts. These usually function like quick releases and must be operated as such. The axle is attached or screwed into the drop out and holds the hub between the two dropouts. The hub and the axle may be fastened with a quick release lever, which is operated just like a normal quick release. Systems in which the axle is only inserted or screwed in and then fastened with a screw also exist. Please read the manual of the com ponent manufacturer to this end and contact us on our service hot line if you have any questions regarding the system. Inappropriately installed wheels may shift while you are riding or be come detached. This may damage the pedelec or even expose the rider to se vere and life-threatening injuries. It is there fore important to take note of the following instructions: • Ensure that the axle dropout and quick-re lease mechanisms are clean and free of dirt and impurities. • Should you have any questions about how to correctly fasten the front wheel with the built-in quick-release system, please con tact us on our service hotline.

When you close it, you should feel resistance once the quick-release lever is in the middle po sition (extension of the axle). The quick-release lever should leave a clear im print on your palm. In case you do not feel resistance in the 90-de gree position and the lever does not leave a clear imprint on your hand, the tension is not sufficient. Increase the tension in accordance with the fork manufacturer’s operating manual.

• Firmly fasten the front wheel. Never ride your pedelec when you are not sure if the front wheel has been appropriately fas tened and cannot come loose. Installation 1. Place the wheel in the dropouts. The hub must be firmly pushed into the dropout. With the disc brakes, please ensure the brake disc is properly inserted between the disc pads in the brake calliper. 2. Ensure that neither the brake disk nor the hub or the brake disk fastening screws rub against the lower parts of the fork. If you do not know how to adjust your pedelec’s disc brakes, read the instructions provided by your brake manufacturer. 3. Turn the quick-release lever to the open po sition. Ensure that the lever grips the appro priate slot in the axle. 4. Insert the axle into the hub from the correct side up to the stop, until it sits in the other end.

Do not use any other tools to fasten the axle to the lower part of the fork. The axle and/or the lower part of the fork may be damaged when the axle is excessively tightened. The quick-release fastener may not be readjusted or turned after clos ing. Turning the quick-release fas tener may loosen the axle and have a detri mental effect on driving safety. This may lead to severe or lethal injuries.
