FISCHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Chain tension

Screws and torque wrenches: When working on the pedelec, ple- ase ensure that all screws are tigh- tened to the correct torque. On many com- ponents, the torque required for mounting is printed. Measurements are given in Newton met- res (Nm) and applied with a torque wrench. It is best to use a torque wrench that dis- plays the tightening torque as it is in use. Otherwise screws can snap or break. If you do not own a torque wrench, please have this work performed by a specia- list/Fischer customer service technician! A table listing the most important torques for bolted connections is provided on page 38.

To ensure that the chain and gears work safely, the chain has to have a certain level of tension. It might otherwise jump off the gears and lead to a fall. Have an expert/Fischer customer ser- vice technician regularly check and adjust the chain tension. Derailleur gear systems tense the chain automatically.

Wear suitable protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles during all installation and maintenance work. Otherwise, dirt or inju- ries that may be caused by lubricants and auxiliary devices for the motor among other things may result.

Be absolutely sure to fasten the axle nuts and the brake arm correct- ly.

In the case of pedelecs with adjus- table dropouts, the mounting screws of the axle housing should be loosened and tightened, and not the axle nuts. If the bottom bracket shell contains an eccentric bush, please tighten the chain ac- cording to the instructions provided by the corresponding manufacturer.

Chain Cleaning the chain

To ensure it works effectively, the pedelec chain has to be cleaned and greased regularly (see page 37). Dirt can be removed when washing the rest of the pedelec. Otherwise you can clean the chain by rubbing it with an oily cloth. If it is clean, it should be lubricated at the joints with the appropriate lubricant. After a while, the excess lubricant should be wiped off.

You will also find a wide range of information and videos about use, maintenance and settings of your pedelec online.
