When a Pendix eDrive has been installed into your bicycle, it
becomes a Pedelec. It is recommended to only retrofit bicy-
cles that comply with the known bicycle standards, such as
DIN EN14764, DIN EN14766 or ISO4210:2014.
1. Safety notes
In these instructions you will find four dierent symbols –
the symbol Note provides important information about
your new motor and how to use it, the symbol Caution
draws your attention to possible damage and/ or environ-
mental hazards, the symbol Danger warns you against
possible accidents and severe damage, including possible
injuries to your person. The symbol Torque marks sections
where a screw connection may only be tightened using a
torque wrench. The torque value given must be adhered
to. Whenever you see one of these symbols, there is a risk
that one of the hazards described may actually occur! Every
warning given is in a special box with a gray background for
emphasis.
Explanation of symbols
This symbol provides information about how
to handle the product or work with the respective
section in the system manual, which must first be
read through.
Caution: This symbol warns you against making
mistakes which can result in damage to material
or create an environmental hazard.
Danger: This symbol stands for a possible dan-
ger to your life and/ or health, if relevant instruc-
tions are ignored or not correctly followed. It also
draws your attention to the fact that correspond-
ing preventive measures must always be taken
beforehand.
Torque: Important screw connection! When
tightening up a threaded connection (screws),
the exact torque must be adhered to. The correct
tightening torque is either shown on the part in
question, or you will find it in the table of (torque)
tightening values on page 24 of this installation
manual. You must use a torque wrench to obtain
the proper torque. Parts which are not correctly
tightened can break or become loose! This can
cause severe falls and accidents!
