MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Battery Charger

The charger is an essential part of E-Bike. Its function is to charge the Batteries as and when required, using domestic power supply of 220V AC, 50htz and can with stand voltage variation between 180V & 280V. It is a light weight covered box containing electronic micro components.

The output current rating for the charger is 2.7 Amp variably 72 Volts

A Light indicator is provided which will show red while charging and turn green after completion of charging.

The following precautions are necessary for Battery Charger

• Do not expose the charger to water rain or moisture

• Handle Charger carefully and avoid any damage by dropping or violent shakes

• Confirm the charging /domestic  voltage to be same as specified on the charger

• Switch on the main current only after plugging both sides of the charger

• The charging time is normally 6 to 8 hours , depending upon the extent of discharge of the batteries.

• Check and ensure that the small part of the charger is working and the charger body is not unusually  hot during charging.

• Charger should be kept completely closed during charging operation as the voltage inside the charger is dangerously high.

Indications for Defective Charges

Dealers are equipped to carry out tests that can decide defective /healthy chargers. The following indications will ensure the user /customer to request Dealer for checking & testing.

1. If after switching on the charger there is no indication. The charger should give red light during charging.

2. If the red light on the charger does not charger does not change to green even after 10 hours, the charger may be defective.
   Go to Dealer for testing.

3. Cooling fan of the charger not working & charger body getting over heated.

Battery Charging

Battery is like a fuel bank. It requires refilling by means of charging. Before riding for the first time it is essential to charge the Batteries for 6 -8 hours using the supplier charger. To charge plug the charger into the charging socket . Before plugging the charger in into a wall power socket do not switch on the Charger.
The charger has been provided with a power out–off safety features to avoid overcharging of Batteries and thereby avoid damage of Batteries. Generally recharging time will be within 6-8 hours , depending on the extent of discharge. After charging switch off and disconnect the charger, E-Bike is powered by 5 NOS-12 V-26 AH  Batteries wired series to provide 60 volts.
All Batteries are charged simultaneously. Follow all the precautions for charger as explained earlier.

Important Aspects About Batteries

The Key points to improve the Battery Life

1. Use only FLEETO made charger supplied with the vehicle.

2. Do not charge the batteries immediately after riding. This is because batteries are in heated condition during riding and charging in heated condition will damage the batteries. Give at least half an hour gap after riding before charging the batteries

3. For the same reasons as mentioned in point 2, do not ride immediately after charging. Ride after half an hour of charging.

4. Discharge the Batteries completely once in a week by driving the vehicle till it stops.

5. Charge the Batteries if scooter is not used for 3-4 weeks  or more.

6. Ensure that Batteries are charged fully.

7. Never keep the Battery in fully discharged condition.

8. Contact the Dealer if low range is reported..He will arrange charger /discharge cycle for Batteries and this will update the Batteries.

9. Charge the Batteries fully going outside the city.

10. Wherever vehicle Battery enters below 40% mark of meter, charging should be carried out.

11. Check the proper pressure in the vehicle.

12. Check wheel alignment.

13. Check proper Brake setting of rear & front wheels

14. Visit Dealer for Battery servicing after two months. Dealer should charge Battery on charge /discharge cycle on the machine.

Caution –About Handling

1. These are maintenance free Batteries .Don’t try to open the Battery

2. Don’t attempt to fill up water or acid in the Batteries

3. Don’t attempt to connect different type/make of Batteries

4. Don’t expose the Batteries to heat ,fire and water

5. Don’t try to repair the charger in case of problem. This should be handed over to dealer for repair.

6. Don’t  expose the Batteries to more than 40  Degrees Centigrade.

7. Keep the Battery pack out of children’s reach.

8. Always charge the Batteries in dry and ventilated space

9. Don’t use Batteries for any other application.

IMPORTANT

1. Battery is a chemical source, with time its AH decreased & the gets affected. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to follow above precaution & instruction for longer life & range.

Miniature Circuit Breaker(MCB)

IMCB is a means of protection overload of electricity which is tripped in case of overload and the electrical power from the vehicle is saved from burning the (motor controller, stars etc). It can also occur while driving and the car road. Always keep the MCB in switched off mode when not riding or charging.

Controller –protection from overload

FLEETO two wheelers are fitted with signal controllers and hence the controller is an important part. Whenever your e-bike is overloaded due to reasons such as high weight , height gain or fast acceleration, overload, etc.  There will be shimmer and jerk in the car. In this situation take the road to one side of the road and stop it. The train will automatically reset after few minutes and will start running normally.

Fuse

When a problem is found in the harness then the internal fuse may burn. In this situation the fuse should be replaced.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PREVENTING THEFT

1. Use additional anti–theft device (Remote locking system)

2. Always lock the steering and remove the keys.

Tool Kit

Tool Kit consisting of normally required tools is supplied along with the bike .  They are as follows

1. Open-end spanner Size 12×14 mm ——   1No

2. Open –end  spanner Size 22×14 mm —-   1 No

3. Combination Screw –driver -905 ——–    1 No

4. Allen Key -6 mm—————————    1 No

Brake adjustment and setting

The Brake should not be too tight or too loose. Tight Brake will result in the Brake Shoes rubbing against the Drum ausing energy loss ,premature discharge of Batteries, reduce life of Break shoes and electrical over loads(Controller failure), reduced range (mileage) etc.
If left too loose the Brakes will fail to stop the vehicle conveniently and effectively. Brake adjustment affects the entire performance of the vehicle. The aim of good Brake adjustment is to achieve balance of two. The Brake operations for front and rear are adjusted by   tightening and loosening the adjustment on the brake and the free play on the ends of brake lever ( 10 mm minimum ). Inserting the rod screw driver and pressing down the Brake Arm (As picture) makes the nut loose for adjustment by hand.
Burned fuses ,bulbs bulb holders ,loose wire connections etc  are included in such small repairs. Parts can be removed and inspected /inspected and the defect leaf can be  applied . Multi meter Is used to check continuity.
Head light Beam Height Adjustment/Adjustment
An adjustment bold has been given under the head light. According to  the need mark the height on the wall. Make the vehicle in front stand at the middle stand at the distance of your choice. Turn on the power and headlight .Fix the height of the beam by turning the adjustment bold( 5 size) with the spanner.

Maintenance

Does not have any electric two wheeler mechanic parts such as engine or gearbox. The basic maintenance requirements of the are less which saves a lot of cost. The only requirement of recharging the battery is regular maintenance. The other parts are particularly sensitive to electronic controllers, hub motors and electronic accelerators etc. There is a need to replace brackish, bearing and other small parts on use as these items are sensitive to friction and broken feet. To help you in this regard we have an extensive dealer network for quick and quality service. Similarly the inflating lubrication and periodic maintenance can be done as per the table given below.
