instructions

For the Street Machine Gt, HP VELOTECHNIK offers two different dynamo light systems: one with a tire dynamo and the other with a hub generator.

Both light systems come with a strong halogen headlamp and a LED rear light.The LEDs in the rear light last considerably longer (approx. 100.000 working hours) than a light bulb. For your safety the light system has a standlight system at the front and at the rear light, which makes the LEDs shine on approximately 10 minutes after you have stopped riding.The electronic system is maintenance free. Because of the capacitors used you don't have to worry about batteries.

The light bulb in your front light can be destroyed by wear.Always carry a spare bulb with you.Take care not to touch the bulb with your bare fingers, always use a soft cloth.Touching the glass of the light bulb with bare fingers will reduce the lifetime of the light bulb.

Tire dynamo

You turn on the light system with the tire dynamo at the rear wheel by unlocking the swiveling dynamo. For this purpose you press the red button at the dynamo until it moves towards the rear wheel.To turn the light off, you turn the dynamo by hand back to its initial po- sition.

You switch on the tire dynamo by pressing the red button.To switch off the dynamo move it away from the wheel.

Danger! Do not try to operate the dynamo lever while riding, your hands could be caught in the wheel and be injured! To turn the light system on or off stop riding, dismount your bicycle and only then do turn the dynamo lever.Turn the lever carefully without applying force else you might bend the lever and damage the plastic parts of the dy- namo.

You can adjust the pressure of the dynamo against the wheel with the turning knob at the side.The pressure is right when the dynamo wheel just does not slip at the wheel, if the light flickers, the pressure is too low and you have to increase it.The position of the dynamo should be so that the extension of the dynamo axle points through the center of the wheel. Take care that the dynamo is mounted safely and does not turn.Worn dynamo wheels can be exchanged. Please ask your specialist dealer.
