3 UNPACKING AND SETTING UP
The pedal assisted bicycle is delivered fully assembled and functional. Before each use, the driver must check the safety status of the
pedal assisted bicycle. Therefore, perform the following inspections before riding the pedal assist bicycle.
3.1 Battery charging
Before using the bicycle for the first time, charge the battery for at least 8 hours, using the special battery charger supplied. The
bicycle is equipped with an electric motor powered by a 36 V lithium-ion battery. The average recharge time varies from 4 to 6 hours.
The recharging operation can be carried out in a well-ventilated box with the battery installed on the bicycle. To charge the battery,
proceed as in paragraph 4.6.2
3.2 Saddle Adjustement
Adjusting the height of the saddle is an essential prerogative for
the correct use of the pedal assisted bicycle. Incorrect adjustment
can generate structural breaks in the frame. Adjust the height of
the saddle using the screw located in the collar (Ref. A - Fig. 1).
Verify that the mechanism is tightened before testing the seat and
using the vehicle. Do not tighten the collar screw (Ref. A - Fig. 1)
beyond the maximum value of 8 Nm. Do not lift the saddle beyond
the limit switch signal located in the tube (Ref. B - Fig. 1).
DANGER
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING
• First connect the plug to the battery and then the power plug to the mains;
• When recharging is completed, always disconnect the plug from the mains first and then the plug from the battery;
• Always fully recharge the battery;
• Always use the original power supply supplied;
• Do not leave the battery charged for more than 8 hours;
• Always recharge in a ventilated environment;
• Do not recharge the battery in too hot environments;
• Do not recharge the battery near flammable liquids;

The brake levers (Ref. C - Fig. 3) are located on the handlebar of the pedal assisted bicycle. These systems make it possible to
control the brake disc calipers, located near the wheel hubs. The right lever controls the rear brake, the left one the front brake; the
braking action is proportional to the force applied to the lever.

6. CONDITIONS OF USE AND ENVIRONMENTS EXPECTED
6.1 Use expected
The pedal assisted bicycle is designed and built to be used outdoors, on roads and in private or public environments.In particular, the
components and the type of pedal assisted bicycle allow you to tackle routes with asphalt or dirt surfaces without particular
roughness. Any modification to the state of construction can compromise the behaviour, safety and stability of the pedal assisted
bicycle and can lead to an accident. Other types of use, or the extension of use beyond that foreseen, do not correspond to the
destination assigned by the manufacturer and, therefore, the same cannot assume any responsibility for any resulting damage.
6.2 Environment of use
The pedal assisted bicycle can be used outdoors, in the absence of adverse weather conditions (rain, hail, snow, strong winds, etc.):
•Maximum permitted temperature: +40 °C;
•Minimum temperature allowed: 0 °C;
•Maximum humidity allowed: 70%
The environment of use may have an asphalted or dirt road surface with not particularly high roughness.
Furthermore, the place of use must be illuminated, by the sun or by artificial lights, in such a way as to guarantee the correct vision of
the path and of the controls of the pedal-assisted bicycle (recommended from 300 to 500 lux).
The pedal assisted bicycle can be equipped with front white light and rear red light.
FORBIDDEN ENVIRONMENT OF USE
The pedal assisted bicycle must not be used:
• In areas subject to risk of fire or explosion;
• In environments with a corrosive and/or chemically active atmosphere;
• in poorly lit environments;
• On excessively inaccessible terrain, given the characteristics of the same (chassis, wheels, etc.);
• In closed spaces, if they do not allow safe use;
• In dark environments.
ATTENTION

DANGER
6.3 IMPROPER USAGE
The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of potential possibilities of "misuse" of the pedal assisted
bicycle, are to be considered absolutely prohibited.
7. LIFTING AND TRANSPORTATION
7.1 Lifting
The weight of the KERES PLUS model pedal assisted bicycle is such that it can be lifted and carried by one person, also due to the
overall dimensions. The optimal solution to carry out the handling is to grab a handlebar grip and the rear part of the saddle.
FORBIDDEN OPERATIONS
• Carrying out prohibited operations invalidates the guarantee;
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to people or things deriving from the execution of prohibited operations.
ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN

• Drive the pedal assisted bicycle in areas where there is a danger of explosions;
• Ride the pedal assisted bicycle in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.);
• Driving the pedal assisted bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Ride the pedal-assisted bicycle if your weight is higher than permitted;
• Charge the battery in a too hot or insufficiently ventilated environment;
• Cover the battery while recharging;
• Smoking or using open flames near the recharging area;
• Carry out any maintenance operation with the battery connected;
• Use non-original spare parts;
• Insert your limbs or fingers between the moving parts of the bicycle;
• Use the bicycle on paved or dirt roads with obstacles greater than those permitted by the vehicle.
DANGER
CRUSHING AND IMPACT
• Extreme caution must be exercised during lifting to avoid damage to people and things;
• This operation must be performed by strong people.
The manufacturer is not liable for breakages due to lifting and/or transporting the pedal assisted bicycle after delivery.
