The SONdelux
is
suitable for
fitting
in
forks
with
100
mm fork
width
and
9mm
axle
slot.The electrical connections
may be placed
either on
the
le{t
or on
the
right side.The
front
wheel
is
fastened
with
a
standard
skewer
(arr
Allen
fitting,
a
quick
release
or
anti-theft
device).
The
shaft of
the bolt
should
not
be greased
to
prevent clogging of
the
pressure
compensation
system.
lt
is
indespensable
that
you
regard
the
manufacturer's instructiohs.
Concerning
the
Allen
skewer delivered
with
SON

please note:
Thread
and bolt
head should bc areased,
but not the shaft
of
the
skewer.
Fasten
the
SONdelux
with
a
tightening torque
of
8 -
10
Nm
at
the
Allen
skewer.
installation
check
the tiohteninq torque after 300km.
lf the
skewer
is
tightened insufficiently, the
axle
might
move in
the
fork
slots causing a
rattling
noise.
Regularly check
the
firm fitting
of the
front
wheel.
the very moment of switching
it
off.
Touching
it
in
such
a moment
might.l
painful or
anen dangerous.
For
this
reason,
careful, contact-free
wiring
must
be ensured.
The pole
sensitivity
of the
dnamo
(resistance
when
turning
the
axle by
hand)
is a
feature of the claw pole generator and
has
nothing
to
do
with
the smooth running
of
the
bearings.
SON
hub dynamos
might
interfere
with
the
function of
bicycle
computers
with
radio transmission.
The
generator itself
is
optimally protected
within the
hub and
is
fully wear
and maintenance free
as it
works
without
gears
or contact.
To
prevent
water
ingress,
the
hub
should
never
be
exposed
to
jets of water
(hose,
pressure washer)
or
immersed in
water.
The deep
groove ball
bearings
of the
hub
are
permanently
lub.ricated and
also
maintenance free under normal conditions
of
usage, i.e.
they cannot
be
adjusted and require no
further
lubrication. A
small
amount
of
play
is
normal in
deep
groove ball
bearlings and
will
not
result
in
damage.

years.
lmporters and competent
dealers

The versions
with
Shimano
center
lock
mount are
made
for
use
on
pavement
or
limited off-road
use.
The distance
between the
spokes and
brake
caliper
can be
too
small
in 700c wheels
with
small
rotors. The
fork
dropouts must
be
well
fitting
and equipped
with
laywer
lips.
Wiring
is
quite simple, if
the
SONdelux
connectors
are blready
mounted
to
the
headlight cable:
Pass
the
cable
along
the
inside
of
the {ork
blade
to
the
SON
and plug
it
in (contacts
arbitrarily interchangeable).
Fasten
the
cable
with
zip ties
at the fork
so
that
plugs
can be easily
disconnected
before
the
wheel
is
removed.
Switched headlights
from
other manufacturers
have
twin-wire
cable
in
place
of
coaxial cable.
Cut
cable
to
a
suitable length,
separate
the
two
conductors
over a
length
of
about
4cm
and strip
the
ends
for about 5mm.
