About these instructions

2 About these instructions

Read these operating instructions before

commissioning the bicycle in order to use all the

functions correctly and safely. They are not a

substitute for personal training by the supplying

handed over to the subsequent owner.

These operating instructions are mainly directed at the

rider and user of the cycle. In general, they are

technical laypersons.

Staff at all HERCULES specialist dealers have

specialist training and qualifications, and are therefore

capable of identifying risks and preventing hazards

which may arise during maintenance, servicing and

repairs on the bicycle. Information for specialist staff

does not require technical laypersons to take any

action.
