2022 Fischer Operating Instructions en V3.2

Brakes and brake systems are parts that can be vital to your safety. You should therefore service them on a regular basis. This requires specialist knowl edge and special tools. Leave all work on your pedelec to a specialist/Fischer custom er service technician! Work that is improperly carried out is a risk to your safety on the pedelec! No oil-based liquids should ever be applied to brake pads, rim brake surfaces, brake shoes or brake discs. These substanc es reduce the effectiveness of the brakes.

information can be found on the website of the component manufacturer.

Please contact us on our service hotline if you have any questions re garding assembly, maintenance, ad

justments and operation.

The gear shifters regulate the necessary cycling power and speed. Using lower gears makes cy cling uphill easier and reduces physical exertion when pedalling. While riding in higher gears, more physical exertion is needed to pedal, allowing you to reach higher speeds with lower pedalling ca dence. In general, you should strive to ride at a higher pedalling frequency and in lower gears. Your pedelec can be equipped with different gear systems: • Derailleur gear systems • Hub gears These gears can be operated using various gear levers: Gear lever, STI Type, for example a Shimano lever

Easy-to-understand video instruc tions for adjusting derailleurs and hub gears can be found on our web site at: www.fischer-fahrrad.de/mediathek. Your pedelec’s gears have been carefully assem bled and adjusted by the manufacturer. In rare cases, a gear may become misaligned while in transport. You can tell that this is the case if the individual gears do not easily click into place, the chain slips or a permanent clicking or slight rattling occurs while riding it. If this happens, turn the adjusting screw on the gearshift handle a quarter turn in either direction and try again to see whether the gear clicks in more easily or whether there is less noise when riding it. If it has become easier to shift gears, repeat the adjustment until the gears are working properly and quietly. If it becomes worse and the noises become louder, turn the adjusting screw in the other direction.

After any work on the braking sys tem, perform at least one brake test on safe, empty terrain before you

return to traffic.

Have the brake fluid replaced on a regular basis. Check the brake shoes regularly and have them re placed when they are worn out. Further in formation can be found in the operating manual provided by the brake manufacturer.
