PURPOSE | AREA OF APPLICATION
The EVOC backpack with built-in back protector is designed exclusively for use when riding a Pedelec bike with a maximum speed of 25 km/h.
You can store and transport a rechargeable lithium ion battery of the following popular brands in the backpack: BOSCH, YAMAHA, SHIMANO, BROSE, FAZUA; the battery can be removed or taken out of the bicycle frame. The battery’s dimensions must not exceed: 460 mm, height: 90 mm and width: 90 mm. During the ride, a charger can be firmly stored inside the backpack. The charger’s dimensions must not exceed: 200 mm, height: 80 mm and width: 80 mm.
The centrally positioned fastening devices ensure that the equipment is held firmly in place in the backpack. This prevents them from moving around in the backpack while cycling and obstructing the user.
Cycling and mountain biking with the assistance of an electric motor and descents in alpine terrain come with risks. The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector is designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall when engaging in these activities.
The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector is made for a temperature range from -10°C to +40°.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector can reduce the severity of injury from impact only if the back protector is correctly positioned in the designated compartment. Ensure that the back protector is located in the compartment provided for this purpose and is secured with the fastening straps. No changes may be made to the backpack in order not to impair its protective effect.
PLEASE NOTE! The EVOC Backpack with integrated back protector is made for a temperature range from -10°C to +40°.Please note that outside this temperature range protection can be impaired.
CORRECT INSERTION OF THE PROTECTOR
Insert the protector, positively locked, with the flat, unprinted side facing the back. You have inserted the protector correctly if the imprint can still be seen.
- Make sure that the backpack is not too high or too low on your back. Tighten shoulder straps, chest strap and hip belt.
- On longer rides in the rain, the backpack should be protected with a rain cover to prevent moisture from getting in.
- Before using the lithium ion battery and the charger, the user must make sure they are not wet, and dry them if necessary.
- The user must read the safety information for the lithium ion battery and the charger on the websites of the battery manufacturer and the e-bike brand.
- No other pointy and/or sharp objects must be placed in the compartments for the lithium ion battery and the charger that could damage the lithium ion battery or the charger.
- Before each use, make sure that all straps, velcro fasteners, buckles and plug fasteners are tight.
- Make sure that all objects that could damage the protector and/or the lithium ion battery and the charger are not loose inside the backpack. Protect pointy and/or sharp objects properly (with a tool bag, protective cover for crampons, knife case, caps for sticks etc.) and pack them such that they point away from the body and are separate from the lithium ion battery and the charger.
- Protect the lithium ion battery and the charger against heat, fire and immersion into water.
- Keep the unused lithium ion battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short-circuit between the battery terminals can cause burns or a fire.
- Treat the backpack, the lithium ion battery and the charger with care. Do not drop the objects and do not expose them to hard impacts. This can cause the lithium ion battery to heat up or catch fire, which can lead to injury or damage to property. During charging, the lithium ion battery and the charger have to be removed from the backpack.
- Please note that a backpack containing heavy objects may have a negative impact on the sports activity.
- Do not carry any glass bottles or explosive objects (such as gas cartridges and pressure containers) or highly flammable and corrosive liquids in the backpack.
- PLEASE NOTE: Please be advised that any alteration, repositioning, improper handling, storage or cleaning of the protector may impair and dangerously reduce the protective function of the protector.

CHECK BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use, make sure that the backpack and the protector are fully functional. Proceed as follows.
- Make sure the protector shows no mechanical damage and that it is in the intended compartment secured by the fastening straps.
- Check how the backpack is packed. Heavy items should be at the bottom; pointed or sharp objects should be wrapped up additionally and positioned such that they point away from the body.
- Make sure that the content of the backpack is sufficiently secured and stays in place.
- Make sure that the backpack is properly closed with all plug fasteners and zips and that they are all in proper working order.
- Make sure that all main seams are undamaged.
- Check the tensile strength of the stitches of the shoulder straps and hip belts.
- Make sure none of the straps or belts have any tears or other structural damage.
CORRECT FIT | ADJUST BACKPACK
The back protector only provides protection of the areas covered by it in accordance with EU regulation 2016/425. This protection is only guaranteed when the EVOC backpack with integrated back protector is in the right and intended position.
