4. Installation
Follow these steps to install the Varstrom Large Ebike Controller Box on your bicycle frame:
- Prepare the Mounting Area: Identify a suitable location on your ebike frame for the controller box. Ensure there is enough space and that the surface is clean.
- Attach the Mounting Plate: The bottom part of the controller box acts as a mounting plate. Position it on the frame and use the provided fixing clips and screws to secure it. If the standard screws are not long enough for your frame, use the included extension screws.
- Insert the Controller: Place your ebike controller inside the main body of the box. Ensure all wires are routed correctly through the designated openings to prevent pinching or damage.
- Secure the Box: Align the top cover with the mounting plate and secure it using the remaining screws. Ensure a tight seal to maintain waterproof and dustproof integrity.
- Final Check: Verify that the controller box is firmly attached to the frame and that all screws are tightened. Check for any loose connections or exposed wires.
