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 dynamo should be po-
sitioned in a way that the extension of the dy-
namo axle points through the center of the
wheel.Take care that the dynamo is mounted
safely and can’t be turned.Worn dynamo
wheels can be exchanged. Please ask your spe-
cialist dealer.
Hub dynamo
The lighting system with a hub dynamo is swit-
ched on electrically. For this purpose you will
find a switch on the back of the headlamp with
three labeled switch positions.With the switch
you can turn the lighting system ON, OFF or
set it on SENSOR. In the SENSOR position a
twilight sensor in the lamp turns the lighting
system on and off automatically, depending on
the brightness of the environment.
The SON hub dynamo is highly efficient and
works silently.When the light is switched off, it
has a very low turning resistance.Although you
can feel the single poles of the used perma-
nent magnets very distinctly when turning it by
hand, the real rolling resistance is minute. (The
loss is below 1 W at 15 km/h / 9,5 mph).

Stand
Only operate the stand when you stand beside
your bicycle.
Before riding check that the stand in any posi-
tion does not affect the function of other
parts.
The stand is only suitable for parking the bike
on even, solid ground. In case of unsuitable
ground, luggage load or mounted fairings we
recommed to lean the bike securely against a
solid wall or pole.
Lighting system, Stand
You switch on the hub dynamo lighting system with the integra-
ted switch on the front light.
Danger! Before every ride check whether
the stand is lifted up to its riding position.
With a recumbent stands are often forgot-
ten. In the first left turn the stand can touch
the ground and cause a fall! After a fall you
will have to check the stand and the area
where it is mounted for damage and defor-
mation.
