5 Introduction
Before starting your journey, familiarise yourself with these operating instructions pay­ing particular attention to the safety information and hazard warnings contained within them.
If you are not sure how to handle the product or if technical faults occur, please con­tact your dealer or PRO ACTIV before using it.
When operating the product, the wheel­chair operating instructions must also be ob­served. Information on limit values must not be exceeded. If the values contained in the two operating instructions differ, the lower limit is the one which applies.
The control software is programmed at the factory to ensure that the legal requirements for a pedelec drive are met. If changing the software, it must be ensured that these re­quirements are still met.
Never leave the product unattended, ei­ther when it is switched on or switched off. If this cannot be avoided, removing the battery and the display can help prevent unauthorised use.
6 Product description / purpose
The product is attached to a manual wheel­chair as an electrically propelled drive unit which helps to assist the wheelchair user when moving the wheelchair. This means that long distances can be covered largely without tiring the user. On flat roads and uphill, the electrical drive of the product provides the force to pull the wheelchair. Downhill, the speed can be controlled using the product's braking system and, possibly, through the recuperation. This allows for safe driving down slopes.
For safety reasons, the product may only be operated by persons who
have been trained in its use by the dealer
or PRO ACTIV.
can move and control their hands and arms so that they are able to operate the controls and perform the full steering movement without restrictions while driv­ing.
are physically and mentally capable of safely operating the device in all operating situations and can meet the legal require­ments for use on public roads.
7 Acceptable usage and operating
conditions / places of use
Observe the instructions on permitted operat­ing conditions in the operating instructions of your wheelchair on which the product has been installed.
Use the product on paved surfaces. Avoid driving on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep puddles of water), as this may result in incalculable risks.
The wheelchair with the adapted product must be equipped in accordance with road traffic regulations when operated on public roads and spaces.
When driving downhill the maximum permitted speed must not be exceeded; if necessary operate the hydraulic service brake. The ap­propriate value for your product can be found in the operating instructions from the drive manufacturer.
The driving characteristics and speed parame­ters can be programmed using the display. The programming has been done at the factory and does not normally need to be adjusted. Changes to the programming may only be carried out by your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
The maximum permitted load of the product in its standard design is 120 kg towed capacity and 10 kg payload. Individual customisation can be made to accommodate a higher load; this will be indicated on the ratings plate. Please ensure that the load limit indicated on the ratings plate is not exceeded when trans­porting objects.

It is recommended that you fit the wheel­chair with an anti-roll back device and to acti­vate this before driving on slopes. The anti-roll back device can also be used if a wheelbase extension is used on the wheelchair.
Figure 1: Anti-roll back device
8 Technical specifications
8.1 Drive system
The technical specifications, information and instructions about the drive system can be found in the operating instructions from the drive's manufacturer which are included.
The range of the drive system varies depend­ing on the terrain driven across and the prevail­ing driving conditions. With optimum driving conditions (including maximum power transfer of the user via the pedal crank, level ground, fully charged batteries, ambient temperature of 20 °C, smooth driving, maximum tyre pressure, no headwind), the range indicated in the drive manufacturer's operating instructions can be achieved.
A continuously adjustable speed of up to 6 km/h can be achieved using the pushing aid without moving the crank. Motor support above this speed is only done with manual rotation of the pedal crank. Motor support is provided up to a maximum speed of 24.9 km/h.
8.2 Climbing power
The climbing power refers to the ability of the wheelchair-product combination to climb a slope. This is very much dependent on the weight distribution between the wheelchair wheels and the product's drive wheel and on the friction coefficient of the ground. Under sub-optimal conditions, the drive wheel may start to spin before the maximum climbing power has been reached.
Maximum climbing power:
10° or 22% The slope which can be driven up using the
product-wheelchair combination is also de­pendent on the manual driving force which the driver can apply as well as the maximum climbing power.
8.3 Product weight
The total weight depends on the drive system and accessories and starts from 12.9 kg.
8.4 Load weight
Maximum load weight:
120 kg towing capacity and 10 kg payload
8.5 Obstacle height and turning circle
Maximum drive-over / negotiable obstacle height: 10 cm (must be ensured through an
appropriate adapter assembly / setting, steer­ing wheels must be removed ( recom­mended equipment of the wheelchair: steering forks with quick-release axle))
Turning circle: approx. 2.3 m
8.6 Service life
The service life of the product is 6 years in accordance with the medical products law.

9 Commissioning
The product is handed over to you ready to use by a PRO ACTIV dealer. They will fit, if not already done, the required fastening elements to your wheelchair to hold the adapter and, if required, any other accessories. In addition, the batteries and the display included in deliv­ery will be installed and the parking stands will be adjusted to the correct height.
Finally, you will be fully instructed in the use of the product based on the operating instructions included in delivery. If you wish (recommended by PRO ACTIV), you will be presented with a record of training and a hand-over certificate as written evidence and in addition the operat­ing instructions and any other accessories for your own use. The form for the record of train­ing and the hand-over certificate can be found in chapters 30 and 31.
It is recommended that you take along an as­sistant to the training so that, if required, they can assist you later when handling the product.
During the initial commissioning of the product, drive at minimum speed and become accus­tomed to the driving characteristics of the product. Always adapt the speed and driving manoeuvres to match your own abilities, the external circumstances and the legal regula­tions. You will get a feel for how to use the product safely after a short time.
10 Hand-over
The hand-over must be done by your dealer or a field representative from PRO ACTIV. During the hand-over, the record of training (chapter
30) and the hand-over certificate including the associated check list (chapter 31) must be filled in. The dealer should send a copy of the completed documents to PRO ACTIV for filing either as a scanned file via e-mail, by fax or in the post. These documents are available as pdf files which can be completed in the download area at www.proactiv-gmbh.com
.
11 Safety instructions - prior to
driving / use
The operating instructions of the con­nected wheelchair must be strictly observed when using the product.
If your wheelchair is operated in combina­tion with the product, any existing anti-tipping supports must be put into their passive position or removed (see the wheelchair's operating instructions). If the wheelchair is then used without the product, the anti-tipping supports must be brought back into their operating posi­tion again to ensure tipping stability.
Before every trip, check the condition of the wheels (e.g. visual inspection of the spokes and rims, check the tyres for damage, foreign bodies and crack formation). If you have any doubts, the wheelchair-product combination must not be operated any further.
Before starting your trip check that the product's brake functions. If all existing brakes are not fully functional, no trips may be taken.
Before every trip, check that the product is firmly attached to the adapter and that the adapter is firmly attached to the wheelchair. The product may not be operated on the wheelchair if any of the connections are not tight and secure. In this case, contact your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip off the feet plate of the wheelchair when using the product, if necessary by using a special fixation device.
If present, check the function of the front and rear lights as well as the effectiveness of the side and rear reflectors before every trip. Lights and reflectors must be clearly visible during the journey and must not be covered by other objects.
Operating instructions NJ1 e-assistant

Check tyre pressures at regular intervals. Ensure that you comply with the manufac­turer's specifications which are fitted to the tyres. Tyre pressure which is too low has a detrimental effect on the driving behaviour, the range of the product and the braking action.
It is recommended that you only take a trip with completely charged batteries. If this recommendation is not followed, you must take into account that the range will be restricted when planning your route.
To minimise the risk of suffering serious head injuries in the event of a fall, a helmet should always be worn when driving with the product.
12 Safety instructions - while driv-
ing / using
Always hold onto the crank handles with both hands while driving. If the driving situation requires you to take one hand off the crank handles, this is only permitted when the speed has been reduced to the minimum possible beforehand.
Before driving up or down slopes or hills with the product, you should be proficient in the safe handling of the product on the flat.
Increase the speed slowly up to the de­sired speed.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
When driving round a bend, reduce your speed to a minimum.
When the product is switched on, the smallest movement on the crank handle is converted into a drive command. When waiting at potential hazard areas (e.g. while waiting at a pedestrian crossing, on hills or slopes or at ramps of any type), always hold down the ser­vice brakes and keep the crank handles in a vertical position downwards.
In rooms, tight or dangerous areas or when manoeuvring, the product may only be used with the drive inactive and turned off to prevent unintentional drive signals. Due to the increased turning circle, it can be difficult to turn in buildings, in front of or in lifts or other buildings, as the standard in such buildings assumes a maximum turning circle of 1.5 m.
During long trips the drive and the brakes of the product may heat up. Therefore, do not touch the drive or the brakes during or imme­diately after the trip (e.g. when detaching or loading the product).
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.) to the product. These could cause an un­wanted drive impulse when stationary and prevent safe operation of the product while driving.
When driving on areas which are used for pedestrians, observe the maximum permitted speed (walking speed 6 km/h) and keep a sufficient distance (at least the width of a wheelchair) from the kerbs or other obstacles and other road users.
When driving on public roads and foot­paths, the provisions of the road traffic regula­tions must be observed.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose sur­faces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
If you encounter new driving situations which are unknown to you, approach them with great care. If you consider that the risk is too high, you must immediately abort the driving manoeuvre and, if required, call for help to assist you in extracting yourself from this situa­tion.
You must not make telephone calls while driving. You should also avoid driving near to strong electrical interference fields.
Operating instructions NJ1 e-assistant
8
The driving characteristics of the product can be influenced by electromagnetic fields which can be produced by mobile phones or other radiating devices. The power supply to the product should be switched off when oper­ating such devices.
Operating the product can affect other devices, for example theft protection barriers in department stores.
By performing regular checks, ensure that the safety bolts of the adapter are always in the correct position while driving (see operating instructions "Adapter & Adaptation").
During a trip never jerk the handlebars to the left or the right, as this may cause the wheelchair-product combination to tip over sideways in certain circumstances.
Never turn the product off on upwards or downwards slopes. This could result in dan­gerous situations to which you can only react with a delay in terms of electrical assistance or virtually not at all by manual means.
Never drive parallel to slopes.
While driving, never grab onto the wheel­chair wheels, in the area of the product wheel or into other rotating parts; if you do you may cause injuries.
Only brake the product using the service brakes.
The product is only designed to be used to transport persons with limited mobility and must not be used for any other purpose, e.g. by playing children or to transport goods.
You may only drive on slopes where the wheelchair-product combination can be safely controlled by steering and braking of the prod­uct.
If the weight load on the drive wheel falls (e.g. when driving on slopes) or when driving on loose / slippery surfaces, the braking action of the wheel may be considerably reduced. The driving style and speed should be adjusted so that the product can be safely stopped at all times using the brakes.
Towing or using a trailer is not permitted.
If the situation allows it, the speed should be reduced by carefully applying the service brake. Abrupt braking can cause the upper body to fall forwards which can thereby result in injuries or loss of vehicle control.
13 Safety instructions regarding
obstacles
Obstacles like curbs, for example, should always be negotiated driving forwards and always using the minimum speed required.
The maximum obstacle height which can be negotiated is 10 cm. This value can, how­ever, be reduced due to the specifications of the type of wheelchair or its settings. There­fore, you should observe the values given in the wheelchair's operating instructions or the restrictions dependent on the settings.
When driving over or passing obstacles, you must absolutely avoid any wheelchair or body parts becoming trapped on the obstacle. This could result in falls, serious injuries to the user or third-parties as well as damage to the product and the wheelchair.
Always drive over curbs or other obstacles so that you cross them to the front or at right angles. If you drive at them on an angle, or only have one rear wheel on the obstacle, there is an increased risk of tipping over to the side which can result in serious injuries to the user and third-parties as well as damage to the product and the wheelchair.

14 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and dan­gerous situations
The operator of the product determines the route to be driven taking the operating instruc­tions, their driving knowledge and physical abilities into consideration.
The personal driving skills are particularly im­portant in the following dangerous locations which are provided as examples; the product's user must use their judgement before driving in such locations:
quay walls, landing and berthing locations,
paths and locations close to water, unse­cured bridges and dykes.
narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope, mountainous routes.
narrow and / or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.
routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.
ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills or downward slopes, there may be an in­creased tendency to tip over to the side due to the changes in the centre of gravity. Always perform these driving manoeuvres with in­creased caution and only at slow speed. If required, the driving manoeuvre must not be performed or only with the help of an assistant.
When crossing main roads, intersections and level crossings, extreme caution is needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level crossings must never be undertaken while driving parallel, otherwise the wheels could become caught which would result in the wheelchair and the product being unable to manoeuvre.
When driving on ramps and lifting equip­ment on vehicles, extreme caution is needed. During the lifting or lowering operation of the ramp or the lifting equipment, the product should be switched off and the service brake
operated. In this way rolling away due to unin­tentional drive commands, for example, can be prevented.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is re­duced in the wet. There is an increased risk of slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and steer­ing behaviour accordingly.
15 Ending the driving operation
Turn off the drive unit. To make getting out of the wheelchair more simple, the product can be disconnected from the wheelchair (see operating instructions "Adapter & Adaptation").
The product may only be disconnected with the drive turned off to prevent any unintended drive signals.
16 Safety instructions - after driv-
ing / use
Always turn off the product immediately when it is not in use to prevent accidental trig­gering of a drive signal by touching the crank handle and to prevent the batteries being dis­charged.
Always observe the instructions and rec­ommendations in the drive manufacturer's operating instructions concerning charging the batteries.
17 Adapter & adaptation
Where necessary and ordered, a suitable adapter for your wheelchair is included with the delivery.
Please read the operating instructions and assembly instructions for the "Adapter & Adap­tation" before using the product.
The drive's controller must only be switched on after completing the adaptation process. The adaptation and disconnection of the product may only be performed when the driving signal sensor is inactive to prevent unintended drive signals.
Operating instructions NJ1 e-assistant

The product may only be adapted and
detached on dry, stable and flat surfaces.
18 Functional elements
18.1 Parking stand
18.1.1 Active and passive positions
By pressing down and turning the operating lever, the parking stand positions can be changed from the active to the passive posi­tion, or vice versa.
Figure 2: Press down and turn the operating lever
Figure 3: Parking stand in the active position
Figure 4: Parking stand in the passive position
18.1.2 Parking stand height adjustment
It is important to adjust the height of the park­ing stand to bring the adapter into the right position in relation to the product's docking plate. Height adjustment is made by loosening the M6 oval head screw (SW 4 mm) and ad­justing the position of the adjustment inlet. Finally, tighten the oval head screw up to 7 Nm of torque.

18.2 Pedal bearing support & crank
18.2.1 Seating position
The seating position and therefore the pedal position and the pedal crank length depend on the upper-body stability or the core muscula­ture. A suitable adjustment to the arm length will have been made during the consultation / measurement procedure.
With weak core musculature, the seating position should normally be chosen so that the upper body remains still in an upright position when operating the crank while driving. This is particularly important if you have low seating stability due to missing or weak core muscula­ture. A rocking motion (forwards and back­wards) of the upper body or the head should be avoided where possible. The height of the pedal bearing in this case is selected to be slightly higher (chest height or higher).
Sporty drivers with the appropriate trunk stability relieve their arm musculature by mov-
ing their trunk at the same time. The height of the pedal bearing in this case can be selected to be slightly lower (chest height or lower).
Figure 6: Elbows are not completely straight, upper body is in an upright position
Figure 7: Distance between the crank and the thigh / knee
The cranks must not touch the knee or thigh when they are being turned.
The elbows must not be completely ex­tended when the crank handles point com­pletely forward away from the body.
A suitable restraint system must be used if you have poor seating stability due to a lack of or weak core musculature. The selection of the suitable system must be made in conjunction with your doctor or therapist and / or defined and implemented by your dealer. There are various systems available such as chest straps or four-point safety belts. Also, the dealer can frequently individually make a system or adapt one that has been purchased.
18.2.2 Pedal bearing position In a product equipped with a non-adjustable
pedal bearing support, a subsequent adjust-
ment of the pedal bearing position can only be achieved by exchanging the pedal bearing support, the angle adjustment possible on the steering head as well as the length adjustment and the spacing of the adapter tube on the adaptation points on the wheelchair frame (see operating instructions "Adapter & Adaptation").
The pedal bearing support can be exchanged by loosening the four M6 fastening screws (SW 5 mm) on the tip fork bridge and the four M6 fastening screws (SW 4 mm) on the pedal bearing housing. Then the new pedal bearing support with another length can be inserted and the 8 fastening screws tightened up to 7 Nm and secured with thread lock fluid. Finally,
Distance crank to knee
Operating instructions NJ1 e-assistant

check the chain length and the cable lengths and adjust them if necessary.
Figure 8: Fastening screws on the top fork bridge
Figure 9: Fastening screws on the pedal bearing housing
If your product is fitted with an adjustable pedal bearing support (optional), the pedal
bearing position can be adjusted in angle and height:
The angle adjustment is done at the top
fork bridge. To do this, loosen the four M6 fastening screws (SW 5 mm), on the clamp slightly so that the pedal bearing support's angle can be adjusted using minimal force. The angle adjustment is continuous (as a guide, there is a 12° scale fitted). When you have finished adjusting the angle, tighten up the four fastening screws to 7 Nm torque and secure them with thread lock fluid.
To adjust the height, two M6 clamp screws
(SW 5 mm) must be loosened on the pedal bearing housing. Then the pedal bearing
housing can be moved along the pedal
bearing support to the correct position. Af-
ter this, tighten up the clamp screws to 7
Nm torque and secure them with thread
lock fluid.
Finally, check the chain length and the cable lengths and adjust them if necessary.
Figure 10: Fastening screws for angle and height adjustment of the pedal bearing position
If you want to make a change to the pedal bearing position, please contact your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
Please note that, after a large adjustment to the pedal bearing position, the chain length and the cable lengths must be adjusted.
18.2.3 Crank length and grip width
The crank length can be chosen from different lengths individually to suit the length of the arms and mobility of the user. Different widths of pedal bearing shafts and spacers between the crank handles and the rotary axles of the hand grips are available to adjust the grip width.
If you want to make a change to the crank length or grip width, please contact your dealer or PRO ACTIV.

18.3 Grips
The grips must be held firmly with both hands whilst driving and always held so that the ca­bles and brake lines are oriented upwards.
Figure 12: Correct grip hold
Make sure that cables and brake lines are not kinked or caught up somewhere. This could cause them to be damaged which could lead to the brakes and gear shift not working correctly.
18.4 Gear shift
18.4.1 Chain shift
For the chain shift, shifting procedures can only occur while the crank is moving. Changing the gear with the cranks stationary is not pos­sible. In general, the torque applied to the cranks should be reduced briefly while chang­ing the gear so that the gear change can hap­pen more quickly.
The controls for the gear change are normally designed so that they can be operated using thumb / index finger switching fittings or with a chin control (based on the thumb / index finger switching fittings). With the 9-speed cassette at the bottom, switching to the next largest sprocket means a lower or easier gear, and to the next smallest sprocket to a larger or more difficult gear. For the 3-speed chain wheels at the top, the behaviour is exactly the opposite.
Figure 13: 9-speed cassette and 3-speed chain wheels
With the thumb / index finger switching fittings, gear changes are achieved by:
"Thumb switch" – operation by pressing in
the direction of travel with the thumb
"Index finger switch" – operation normally
by pulling in the opposite direction to travel with the index finger (alternatively can also be operated with the thumb by pressing against the direction of travel).

Figure 15: Switching using the thumb / index finger switching fittings
Operation of the chain shift is also possible using a twist grip (optional). Here, you can change between the 3 chain wheels by turning the left-hand twist grip. On the right-hand grip, you can change between the sprockets in the 9-speed cassette. You can read the respective gears on the twist grip.
Figure 16: Switching using the twist grip
When driving up a hill, it should be noted that it is only possible to change using the 9­speed cassette under heavy loads on the chain. Changing using the top three chain wheels is no longer possible if there is heavy tension on the chain.
Try to avoid selecting cross gears, as the efficiency and service life of the chain will fall significantly (more information can be found in chapter 28).
For more information, please see the instruc­tions provided by the gear manufacturer.

The hub gears integrated into the drive can be changed while driving and also when station­ary. No crank movement is needed to change and only a small reduction in torque is needed.
Normally, the hub gears are operated by turn- ing the twist grip. The gear selected is shown in the display on the control panel.
Figure 17: Switching using the twist grip
It is also possible to operate the hub gears using the operating machine which allows gear changes to be made using the chin (op­tional). To change up, the gear lever is turned through 45° anti-clockwise (upwards). To change down, the gear lever is turned through 45° clockwise (downwards). After completing the gear change, the gear lever moves back to its starting position.

Please refer to the gear or drive manufactur­ers' instructions for more information about the hub gears.
18.4.3 Pedal bearing gearshift
The pedal bearing gearshift is switched on by pressing the control buttons on the left and right of the pedal bearing. Here, you can choose between a 1:1 gear ratio (the left con­trol button in the direction of travel) or a 2.5:1 gear ratio (the right control button in the direc­tion of travel).
Figure 19: Control button on the pedal bearing gearshift
The pedal bearing gearshift should be lubri­cated once or twice a year with the supplied original semi-fluid grease using the syringe. The semi-fluid grease is filled through the slot­ted screw.

Figure 21: Original semi-fluid grease in the syringe
For more information, please see the instruc­tions provided by the manufacturer.
18.5 Disc and rim brakes
Normally there is one disc and one rim brake fitted to the product. Where possible, both brakes should be operated simultaneously and the braking requirement reduced by driving in a way that anticipates the requirement to reduce speed if necessary.
The brakes are operated using the brake lever.
Figure 22: Brake lever
In the event of abrupt hard braking, there is a risk that you might fall forward with your upper body and thereby cause injuries to your­self.
Please make sure that the braking sur­faces on the rim and the brake pads on the rim breaks do not come into contact with oils or greases which could otherwise impair the brak­ing effect. If rims or brake pads do come into contact with oils or greases, the brake pads must be replaced and the brake disc and rim must be professionally cleaned with brake cleaner (e.g. Weicon surface cleaner).

18.6 Back-pedal brake & crank release function
18.6.1 Operation
This back-pedal brake is a closed hydraulic system consisting of a generator unit and a disc brake calliper. The system has automatic wear compensation for the brake pads.
To adapt the system to your body weight and the physical limitations of the driver, the springs of the system are available in three strengths. These can also be replaced retro­spectively.
The back-pedal brake is delivered with a crank release function which allows reverse driving and manoeuvring via the hand rims. For func­tional reasons, the back-pedal brake always acts as soon as the product moves backwards. Therefore, the driver must first unlock the re­verse movement by operating the crank re­lease function.
The braking function via the backward move­ment (crank movement against the direction of acceleration) is always guaranteed – with the crank release function activated or deactivated.
Figure 23: Generator unit PRO ACTIV back-pedal brake
18.6.2 Operation
The brake is operated by moving the cranks against the acceleration direction (clockwise).
The brake force applied is adjusted by the strength of the backwards movement of the cranks.
The crank release function is operated by pressing the side pressure plate. To activate the crank release function, the left-hand pres­sure plate must be operated (seen from the direction of travel). To return to normal driving operation with the back-pedal brake, the right­hand pressure plate must be operated.
Figure 24: Left- and right-hand pressure plates
18.6.3 Safety instructions
Before every trip, perform a brake test while stationary by moving the cranks with the normal operating force rearwards. The drive wheel must not be able to move when the sys­tem is operated.
At regular intervals, check that all of the connections, lines, bleed screws and the sur­face of the transmitter unit do not leak and that all the screw connections on the brake system are tightened securely.
At regular intervals, check that the brake pads and discs are free from grease, oil or other contamination. In addition, check the thickness of the brake disc. The minimum thickness is printed on the brake disc. In addi­tion, the brake pad thickness must be checked with a measuring calliper. The minimum pad thickness plus support material is 2.5 mm. Measure the pad thickness at the thinnest point.
Do not drive if your product is faulty in one of the previously listed points. Contact your dealer immediately who will arrange mainte­nance by PRO ACTIV.

18.7 Parking brake
Using the aluminium bracket which is attached to the left-hand side of the pedal bearing sup­port, one of the two brakes can be used as a parking brake. For this purpose, the aluminium bracket is clamped over the grip and the brake lever while the brake lever is depressed.
Figure 25: Aluminium bracket as a parking brake
18.8 Battery pack
Please refer to the accompanying documenta­tion from the drive manufacturer concerning the handling as well as the insertion and re­moval of the battery.
Improper handling of the battery can cause electrolyte fluid to leak. This can cause skin injuries or damage to clothing. If skin or eyes come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, they must be rinsed with pure water and a doctor consulted immediately.
The batteries may not be exposed to fire or burned. This could cause them to explode.
The contacts of the batteries must not be short-circuited. A short-circuit causes very high currents which could damage the batteries and / or the product.
The product's batteries may only be charged using the original charger from the manufacturer which was supplied. They can be charged in any position.
After the end of the journey, the batteries should be fully charged.
18.9 Components & drive system
You will be instructed about the functions and operation of the drive support, gears, brakes and other brand components during the hand­over / training. You can also get information later from the component manufacturers' oper­ating instructions enclosed, or if needed, by asking your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
