Light system
If you want to ride your bike on public streets,
it must be equipped with a legal light system.
Do not only use your lights in the dark but al-
so in the twilight of dusk and dawn. Due to
laws and regulations the brightness of bicycle
lights may be considerably lower than that of
other vehicles.Therefore always keep in mind
that other road-users may only see you very
late or not at all.
For the Street Machine Gt, HP V
ELOTECHNIK of-
fers 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 wor-
ry about batteries.
The light bulb in your front light can be des-
troyed 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.
Tir
e dynamo
You turn on the light system with the tire dy-
namo at the rear wheel by unlocking the swi-
veling dynamo. For this purpose you press the
red button at the dynamo until it moves to-
wards the rear wheel.To turn the light off, you
turn the dynamo by hand back to its initial po-
sition.
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.
Light system
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, dis-
mount your bicycle and only then do turn
the dynamo lever.Turn the lever carefully wi-
thout applying force else you might bend the
lever and damage the plastic parts of the dy-
namo.
