Charging the Battery Charging the Battery Before using it for the first time, the battery must be charged for at least four hours. When delivered, the battery is in the uncharged state and is in sleeping mode. The battery can be charged in any state i.e. at any charge level. Removing the battery To charge the battery, it first has to be removed from the cycle. 1. To release the lock, turn the key to the left in anticlockwise direction. 2. Hold the charger by the handle and tilt it 45° to the side. 3.
Charging the Battery Note: 1. The length of the charging process depends on the capacity and the level of the charge. 2. Charge the battery at room temperature only. As soon as the ambient temperature of the battery is less than 0° or more than 40° the battery cannot be charged and the charging unit remains in standby mode. 3. Please observe the safety notes on the charging unit and battery on page 11. Mounting the battery on the Pedelec 1. Insert the battery into the rack at an angle of 45°. 2.
Operation and Control Operating Unit The operating unit is for switching the system on and off, selecting the desired assistance level and displaying the amount of charge remaining in the battery. Switching on Press the Power button on the operating unit on your handlebars. All the LEDs light up for 2 seconds. Important: Do not put any pressure on the pedals during these 2 seconds because the torque-measurement system is being set automatically.
Assistance Mode, Range Selecting degree of assistance With the Mode button on the operating unit you can select one of three different assistance modes at any time. Press the Mode button until you arrive at the mode you require. Maximum assistance Standard Minimum assistance The best amount of assistance and the consequent range of the battery depend on a number of factors which are best determined by trial and error.
Technical Data Motor Bottom-bracket motor Brushless DC motor Power output: 250 W Weight: approx. 3.5 kg Control by means of frictionless magnetic torque sensor Overload When the motor is overloaded, the LEDs on the operating unit flash in the following pattern Flashing LEDs Flash interval: one space equals 0.
Technical Data Battery Battery power: Type: Model: Charging time: Weight: 260 Wh, 26 V 10 Ah, removable and rechargeable Panasonic lithium, ions, manganese Li-ion battery Ni-Li NKY224B01 10 Ah approx. 3 h., initial charge 4 h. 2.4 kg Accumulator status At the side of the battery there is a display which indicates the charge status and the capacity of the battery. To read these values, press the button "Push". When the battery is fully charged, all 5 LEDs light up.
Technical Data Battery Sleeping Mode In its original state and at the first start-up the battery is in sleeping mode. For this reason the battery has to be fully charged before it is used for the first time. If the charge level drops below 50% and it is not charged for more than two weeks, it goes into sleeping mode automatically. The sleeping mode prevents total discharge. To cancel the sleeping mode, charge the battery on the charging unit for more than 5 sec.
Technical Data Charging Unit The charging unit type NKJ38 is supplied with the cycle. Weight of charging unit: 530 g Power supply: 220 V (50 Hz) AC Power: 62 W A charging unit is supplied with the cycle. To charge it, take the unit out of the box and remove the plastic foil. Failure to remove the foil may cause damage to the unit through overheating. Store the unit in a dry place.
Care and Maintenance Inspection Follow the instructions in the enclosed KETTLER Instructions for Assembly and Operation Tyre Pressure The tyre pressure has an important influence on the performance of the Pedelec. To ensure that the range of the battery is not affected, ensure that the tyre pressure is always between 3 and 4 bar. Check the tyre pressure regularly. Longer periods of disuse If the cycle is not in use for longer periods, ensure that the battery is charged and stored in dry conditions.
Troubleshooting Do not attempt to repair the electric drive system, control system or battery. For any necessary service or repair work, always contact your KETTLER dealer who has the necessary information and expertise to carry out repairs. Reset: Errors in the sensor torque measurement In case of incorrect measurement by the torque sensor, the LEDs on the operating unit flash according to the following pattern: Flashing LEDs Flash interval: one space equals 0.5 sec.
Guarantee / General Notes Battery Batteries are subject to wear and tear. It is therefore normal for the capacity of the battery to decline with increasing age, use, and frequency of charging. For other guarantee provisions, please refer to the KETTLER Instructions for Assembly and Operation. Ground clearance Because of the position of the motor unit, the clearance between the lowest point of the frame and the ground in the area of the bottom bracket is about 5 cm less than for a standard cycle.
