►Do not open the battery housing or charger housing under any circumstances, and never attempt to
dismantle them.
►Do not undertake any attempts to repair a damaged battery housing under any circumstances.
►Never break or perforate the battery
►Protect the battery against fire, severe heat, along with prolonged direct exposure to sunlight.
►Never immerse the battery in water.
►In case of improper use, fluid may leak out of the battery. Avoid any contact with the fluid. In case you
come into contact with the fluid, wash it off with water. Also seek the attention of a physician if your
eyes come into contact with the fluid. Fluid leaking out of the battery may lead to irritation or burns.
►In order to prevent damage to the battery, never subject the battery to mechanical impact.
►Keep the battery away from metal objects, as a danger of short-circuiting exists. Do not allow nails,
screws or other small, sharp and/or metallic objects come into contact with the battery (charging port
/ discharge socket).
►Only use the designated TQ charger for charging the battery.
►Protect the charger from moisture. Otherwise, there is the risk of electric shock.
►Only operate the charger in dry rooms.
►Keep the charger clean. Soiling could lead to an electric shock.
►Never operate the charger on an easily combustible surface (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in a combustible
environment. There is a fire risk due to the warming of the charger during charging.
WARNING
Strictly follow the instructions in the manuals when installing HPR products.
It is recommended to use only original TQ parts.
Wear approved eye protection when performing maintenance procedures, such as replacing components,
for example.
You will also find additional product information in the user manuals of the individual TQ
components.
Also inform the users about the following:
►When cycling, do not become distracted from the information indicated on the display, instead focus
exclusively on the traffic. Otherwise, there is the risk of accident.
►Make sure before starting out that all screws and wheels are securely fastened.
►The assistance by the drive system depends on the one hand on the selected assistance level and on
the other hand on the force that the rider is exerting on the pedals. The greater the force exerted on the
pedals, the higher the level of motor assistance. The drive assistance stops when you stop pedaling.
►Only use the original TQ charger to charge the battery and ranger extender.
►The drive unit may heat up during operation, depending on the load and other additional influencing
factors, causing the surface of the drive unit, along with adjacent components (motor covers) to
become hot. Do not come into contact with the drive unit with your hands or legs during or after a ride.
Otherwise, there is the risk of burns.
