RBattery If work on electronic equipment and its software is carried out incorrectly, this equipment could stop functioning. The electronic systems are linked together by interfaces. Modifications to electronic systems may also cause systems that have not been modified to malfunction. These malfunctions could affect the operating safety of your ebike and therefore also have a considerable effect on your safety.You should therefore have all work and modi- fications to electronic components car- ried out at a qualified specialist work- shop. Do not make any modifications or carry out work, such as drilling, soldering or weld- ing, on the frame or other load-bearing components. The stability and the service life of the components could be affected as a result. If you remove warning stickers, you or oth- ers may not be aware of possible dangers. Leave warning stickers in position. Rotating components, such as wheels, drive belt, pedal cranks or pedals, could trap and pull in parts of the body or clothing. Make sure that neither clothing nor objects being carried get caught in rotating parts. Wear close-fitting clothing. Never wear a scarf. After braking, in particular after a long downhill stretch, the brake discs, brake callipers as well as quick-release devices and axle nuts may be very hot. Wait until these components have cooled down before touching them. Do not ride without the battery or without the control console. If the battery or the control console are not fitted then the lighting system will not function. Riding without an operational lighting system is not permitted, depending on national reg- ulations. Qualified specialist workshop A qualified specialist workshop has the necessary special skills, tools and quali- fications to correctly carry out any neces- sary work on your ebike. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety. Always have the following work on your ebike carried out at a qualified specialist workshop: Rwork relevant to safety Rservice and maintenance work Rrepair work Rmodifications, installations and con- versions Rwork on electronic components Rwork on the drive system smart recommends that you use a smart dealer which is qualified to carry out work on smart ebikes. Correct use Observe the following information when using the ebike: Rthe safety notes in the printed Owner's Manual and in the electronic Owner's Manual on CD Rthe technical data in the printed Owner's Manual and in the electronic Owner's Manual on CD Rtraffic rules and regulations Rlaws and safety standards applicable to vehicles The configuration of your smart ebike can vary, depending on the country in which you purchased it. Using the ebike in other countries could therefore contravene local laws. If necessary, have the configuration of the ebike adjusted for the respective country. 10

your country for Pedelecs regarding the following points: Rmaximum assistance speed and power output of the electric motor Rrequired equipment in order to ride on public roads Robligation to have a driver's license Rminimum age of the cyclist Robligation to wear a helmet Rregulations for the use of cycle lanes The smart ebike is designed to be ridden on asphalt roads and lanes as well as sur- faced forest and country tracks. The tyres must not lose contact with the ground when doing so. The ebike is not designed for riding over obstacles, such as high kerbs. Equally, it is not designed for carrying more than one person. Nobody should be carried on the optionally available lug- gage carrier*. The smart ebike is not suitable for compe- tition. The smart ebike together with rider, accessories and luggage may have a per- missible gross weight of 140 kg (308 lbs). Never exceed the permissible gross weight. The smart ebike is not approved for towing a trailer. Riding with a trailer or a trailer bike or pulling another bicycle using a bicycle connection system is not permit- ted. Always make sure that your smart ebike is used for the purposes it was designed for. If the smart ebike is used in ways for which it was not designed, this could result in damage to the fitted components. This could then lead to accidents and injuries. The smart ebike is not intended for persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities. The ebike is not suitable for children under 14 years old. Taking the battery for your smart ebike on a passenger plane is not permitted. Transporting the ebike with the battery fitted on a vehicle rear-mounted cycle rack or roof carrier is not permitted. Remove the battery before transporting (Y page 41). Before transporting also remove components which are not securely bolted on such as, e.g. the control console, smartphone and net pockets. Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) Pedal-assist technology The smart ebike belongs to a class of elec- trically assisted bicycles called pede- lecs. Another name for pedelecs is EPAC (electric power assisted cycles). Pedelecs provide assistance only when your are exerting force on the pedals. A pedal sen- sor in the pedal-crank bearing measures the force you are exerting and determines how much propulsion power will be provi- ded by the electric motor. When you stop pedalling, the electric motor switches off. Before reaching the maximum assisted speed, the power from the electric motor is gradually decreased until the pedal assis- tance finally shuts off. In European coun- tries, for example, the maximum assisted speed is 25 km/h (15.5 mph). If you are not using the pedal-assist function, you can ride faster than the maximum assisted speed. i The maximum assisted speed and the continuous rating of the electric motor are indicated on a sticker located on the ebike. Pedal sensor in the pedal-crank bear- ing ! The sensor used to determine the ped- alling power can lose its electronic cal- ibration. This can result in malfunc- tioning of the pedal-assist function. Keep magnets and large metallic objects,

bearing. Generator mode (recuperation) Your smart ebike is equipped with a so- called regenerative brake. This technol- ogy allows you to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. When you apply the brakes, the electric motor acts as a gener- ator (generator mode). Electrical energy generated in this way is returned to the battery. At the same time, the energy recu- peration process brakes your ebike without wear on the brakes. Serial number You will find the serial number of your ebike on the right-hand side of the frame, near the pedal-crank bearing. Write down the serial number and keep it in a safe place. 12

i This Owner's Manual describes all mod- els and all standard and optional equip- ment available for your ebike at the time of publication of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possi- ble. Note that your ebike may not be fit- ted with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. i Read the information on qualified spe- cialist workshops: (Y page 10). Safety-relevant equipment The lighting system does not work when you ride your ebike without the control console or battery. smart recommends that you always ride with the lights on, even during the daytime. As a pedelec vehicle, the smart ebike is subject to laws governing the use of vehi- cles on public roads. In Germany, for exam- ple, this is the Road Traffic Licensing Regulation (StVZO) for vehicles. The smart ebike is equipped with a lighting system with the active and passive components required for use on public roads. It also has an appropriate brake system and a bell. The lighting system includes the following components: Rheadlamp and tail light Rwhite reflector in the fork crown Rred reflector on the seat Rred reflector on the luggage carrier* Rreflective strips on the tyre sidewalls Ryellow reflectors on the pedals Check the safety equipment regularly and have it repaired at a qualified specialist workshop as needed. Suitable equipment Depending on the country in which you use your smart ebike, you may be required to wear a helmet. Irrespective of any helmet law, smart recommends that you always wear a suitable helmet and goggles. Wear conspicuous, bright clothing appro- priate for cycling and shoes which are suitable for the bike's pedals. When riding in traffic, always be considerate and observe the traffic rules and regulations in order to avoid endangering yourself and others. Inspection before starting a journey Checking tyres and wheels G WARNING If seated at an angle, valves may break off while the ebike is in operation. If this happens, the tyre will suddenly lose pres- sure. There is a risk of an accident. Check the seating of the valves. The valves must extend from the wheel rim at right angles. Correct the position of any incor- rectly seated valves immediately. Before every ride, check the following: Rtyres and wheels for damage and foreign bodies lodged in the tyres. Damaged wheels can lead to a loss of pressure and result in further damage. Rtyre tread depth Rtrue running of the wheels by allowing both wheels to rotate freely. Out-of- round wheels can be an indication of tyres which have burst at the side, broken axles or torn spokes. Also investigate any rattling noises and check bearings and bolted connections if necessary. 18 Inspection before starting a journey

Checking the drive belts¶
Smart_Ebike_Manual_80p.pdf · p. 25 · Applies to: ebike
G WARNING Inadequately secured belt pulleys and safety guards may become loose while the ebike is in operation. Incorrectly aligned drive belts may become detached from the belt pulleys while the ebike is in opera- tion. There is a risk of accident and injury. RBefore every ride, check to make sure the drive belt is properly aligned and ten- sioned, and the belt pulleys are bolted securely. RAlso check for proper installation of the slip guard to prevent the drive belt jumping teeth or slipping. Always follow all the instructions on han- dling the drive belt – particularly every time the rear wheel is removed or fitted (Y page 59). Extra caution is required in these cases in order to prevent damage to the drive belt. Checking the battery lock Before every ride, make sure the locking cylinder on the battery lock is engaged. If the battery is not retained by the lock, it could fall out while the ebike is in opera- tion. Checking the operation of the brake system Before every ride, carry out a stationary brake test. To do so, pull the brake levers towards the handlebar using two fingers and normal braking force. The brake lever must not come into contact with the han- dlebar (Y page 24). A distance “A” must remain between the brake lever and the handle, even when maximum hand force is applied. Checking the brake system for wear G WARNING After braking, particularly during long descents, the brake discs and callipers as well as the quick-release connections and axle nuts may become extremely hot. There is a risk of injury. Wait until these components have cooled down before touching them. Check the brake pads for wear before every ride (Y page 48). Carry out a visual inspection of the brake discs: Rthe friction disc must not show any signs of scoring or breakout. It must be free of oil and dirt. RAll bolts must be present and securely in place. Check the brake callipers for oil leakage. Make sure that the brake cables are free of kinks. Check the brake cables for leaks. Checking the bolted connections Before every ride, check to make sure the bolted connections listed below are securely tightened: X check to make sure the quick-release connector on the front wheel is securely seated.

Useful information¶
Smart_Ebike_Manual_80p.pdf · p. 42 · Applies to: ebike
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod- els and all standard and optional equip- ment available for your ebike at the time of publication of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possi- ble. Note that your ebike may not be fit- ted with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. i Read the information on qualified spe- cialist workshops: (Y page 10). Driving tips Riding with electric assistance Pedal assist G WARNING If pedal assist is activated on smooth or slippery road surfaces, the rear wheel can spin and lose grip when you accelerate. There is a risk of an accident. Always deactivate pedal assist on smooth or slippery road surfaces. The smart ebike only assists you when you apply force to the pedals. When you stop pedalling, the electric motor switches off. Pedal assist will also switch off if you exceed the maximum power assist speed (varies according to country) (Y page 11). The drive power depends on the drive level you have selected (Y page 27). The higher the drive level, the less effort you yourself have to provide to maintain a specific speed. Drive level (A) Riding situation None Riding without electrical pedal assist 1 Riding on level ground Drive level (A) Riding situation 2 Riding uphill, riding with headwind 3 Riding on steep uphill gra- dients, riding with strong headwind 4 Riding on extremely steep uphill gradients i Pedal off by first pushing the left leg down on the pedal. In this way, the pedal force sensor can pick up your pedal force more effectively and can activate the electric motor more quickly to provide assistance. This is particularly of advantage when riding uphill. Generator mode G WARNING If the generator mode is activated or you apply the front wheel brake, the electric motor will brake the rear wheel. The rear wheel could lock and lose grip on smooth or slippery road surfaces. There is a risk of an accident. RAlways deactivate the generator on smooth or slippery road surfaces. RIf possible, only brake with the rear wheel brake on smooth or slippery road surfaces. In generator mode, the electric motor is used as a generator and charges the battery during riding. The braking power gener- ated during charging is used to brake the ebike. The amount of regenerative braking depends on the generator level selected in generator mode (Y page 28). i If you apply the front wheel brake, the electric motor will automatically apply the rear wheel brake even if the genera- tor mode is deactivated. The level of braking power applied to the rear wheel 36 Driving tips

be regulated. Exception: the rear wheel brake will not be applied automatically if the battery is fully charged. i The energy recuperated in generator mode can only be stored in the battery if the current charge level permits. Energy recovery may be deactivated when riding down mountains if the battery is fully charged. Riding in generator mode then has no braking effect. Generator level (G) Driving situation None No braking effect, no regen- erative braking 1 Riding on gentle downhill slopes, tailwind 2 Riding on downhill slopes, tailwind 3 Riding on steep downhill gradients 4 Riding on extremely steep downhill gradients Energy-saving driving style Your smart ebike assists you with a brush- less wheel hub motor integrated into the rear wheel. Wheel hub motor power output: RUnited Kingdom 200 W REU countries (except the United King- dom) 250 W RCanada 350 W Depending on the drive level selected, the riding style and the topography, the drive assists you for a range of up to 100 km (62 miles). If you wish to ride further, the smart ebike behaves like a completely normal bicycle without pedal assistance. The range of the smart ebike with a fully charged battery depends on the following factors: Rthe physical performance of the rider Rthe drive and generator level selected Rthe gear selected Rthe gross weight of the ebike, rider and load Rthe tyre pressure Rthe road surface Rthe topography Rthe temperature Rthe wind conditions Rthe nature of use with frequent starts or even-paced stretches Rand the use of generator mode (energy recuperation) when braking To achieve the maximum possible range, observe the following recommendations: Rselect a drive level which is as low as possible and as high as necessary. Rto charge the battery during the tour, use generator mode as often as possible. Rselect a low gear on an uphill gradient and a high gear on level ground or when riding downhill. Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight. Rcheck the tyre pressures regularly every 14 days and correct them when required (Y page 44). Braking Notes on disc brakes G WARNING On wet roads: Rthe frictional force between the tyres and the road is reduced.

is a risk of an accident. ROn wet roads brake sooner to compensate for the longer braking distance. ROn wet roads brake with greater care to prevent the wheels from locking. G WARNING When braking the front wheel abruptly the rear wheel can lift up. You could be thrown over the handlebars in the process. There is a risk of an accident. RBrake the ebike with the front and rear brake at the same time. RMove your body's centre of gravity to the rear when braking abruptly. The smart ebike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes which will bring you to a stand- still quickly and safely, if required. Disc brakes respond more quickly than rim brakes, in particular on wet roads. A hydraulic disc brake builds up a high braking effect with only minimal hand strength. To distribute braking force to both wheels, use both brakes at the same time. The pedal assistance of the electric motor is interrupted by braking the front brake (or if you stop pedalling). i Please be aware that your smart ebike does not have a coaster brake. If you are not yet familiar with the braking effect of hydraulic disc brakes, first carry out some test braking manoeuvres on a high-grip surface away from traffic. Avoid continuous braking. On long down- hill stretches, brake with both brakes briefly but firmly. When you intermittently release the brakes they can cool down again. Stop at the first signs of overheat- ing. Symptoms indicating overheating include: Rincreased hand strength Rthe build up of odours Rloud scraping noises Let the brake system cool down before rid- ing on. Wet conditions reduce the braking effect and lead to the tyres skidding more easily. On wet roads, allow for longer braking dis- tances, ride more slowly and brake care- fully. Braking with the disc brakes X To brake with the front brake: pull the left3 brake lever. There is a sensor installed in the brake handle for the front brake which switches the electric motor to energy recupera- tion when the front wheel is braked (Y page 28). In this way the electric motor always simultaneously brakes the rear wheel, even if generator mode is switched off. The level of the braking force on the rear wheel depends on the speed and cannot be modulated. Excep- tion: if the battery is fully charged the rear wheel is not braked simultaneously. i Adopt an anticipatory riding manner to try and avoid abrupt braking. If possible only brake the ebike through energy recuperation. If you only pull the brake lever for the front brake gently, the ebike brakes friction-free through energy recuperation alone. X To brake with the rear brake: pull the right4 brake lever. With disc brakes the pressure point must be immediately stable. If the pressure point has not been reached after two thirds of the travel, pull the lever several times (pumping), until the pads come into contact with the disc. If the pressure point shifts 3 United Kingdom: the right brake lever operates the front brake 4 United Kingdom: the left brake lever operates the rear brake 38 Driving tips

be bled at a qualified specialist workshop. i Pressure point: each brake has a cer- tain amount of free travel at the brake lever. Once this free travel is overcome with limited hand strength, the brakes grip and the pressure point has been reached. If the brake is correctly set and bled, increased hand strength increases the braking power with minimal brake lever travel. Brake system wear The brake pads and brake discs wear as a result of friction. The more often you ride in mountainous terrain and through rain or mud, the greater the wear. The smart ebike brake system has fully automatic brake pad compensation. This balances out the brake pad wear and ensures that the pressure point remains the same always. The wear on the brake pads (Y page 48) and on the brake discs (Y page 48) cannot be evaluated from the brake lever and must therefore be checked before every tour (Y page 48). Have worn brake pads replaced at a qualified specialist work- shop. Bedding in new brake pads New brake pads must be bedded in until they reach their optimum deceleration per- formance. To do this, accelerate your ebike approx. 30 – 50 times to about 30 km/h (19 mph) and brake to a standstill When the required hand strength for braking no lon- ger reduces then the bedding-in process is completed. Charging the battery Important safety notes G DANGER High voltage is used to charge the battery. You could get an electric shock if the power cable or mains socket is damaged, wet or dirty. There is a risk of fatal injury. ROnly use the charger supplied to charge the battery. ROnly use a dry charger. ROnly use an undamaged power cable and charger. Immediately replace a damaged power cable and charger. RBefore connecting the charger cable, remove any foreign objects, such as dirt, ice or snow, from the charge socket. G WARNING Using a charger other than the one supplied can cause the battery to overheat. There is a risk of explosion. Only use the charger supplied to charge the battery. G WARNING Deep battery discharge can cause an inter- nal short circuit. The battery heats up to an extremely high temperature. There is a risk of fire. RAvoid deep battery discharge during use as well as during storage. RWhen not in use, fully charge the battery at regular intervals, and at least every 6 months. RDo not carry a deeply discharged battery on the ebike. ROnly use the battery for the smart ebike. RDo not expose the battery to storage tem- peratures below -10 † (14 ‡) and above 45 † (113 ‡). Please note that tempera- tures above 45 † (113 ‡) can occur around heaters, in direct sunlight or in over- heated vehicle interiors. Charging the battery 39

or in ambient temperatures below -10 † (14 ‡) or above 40 † (104 ‡). RDo not immerse the battery into water. RThe battery and the charger do not have to be serviced. Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery or the charger. Do not subject the battery to a high pres- sure. Please note that high pressure can be applied as a result of load from heavy objects. You may not use a battery with a damaged casing. RKeep the battery away from small chil- dren. RIf, while the battery is in use, is being charged or is in storage, you notice that the battery gets hot, develops a strong smell, alters in appearance or behaves abnormally in any way, stop using the battery immediately. Heat develops when charging the battery: RMake sure that there are no combustible materials close to the battery when charging. RWhen charging, place the charger and battery on a non-combustible surface. RIf you charge the battery while it is still installed on the ebike, position the bike in such way that a fire cannot spread. RDo not charge the battery on carpeted floors. RDo not cover the battery and charger dur- ing charging. Notes on the charger i The charger supplied is suitable for a voltage range of 100 - 240 V. The charger does not need to be switched to the rel- evant voltage range as it automatically detects the voltage range. The charger has no on/off switch. If you do not require the charger, disconnect the plug to save energy. Notes on the battery ! A deep battery discharge causes irre- versible damage and capacity loss. If you do not use the battery for longer periods, charge the battery fully at regular inter- vals and at least every 6 months. Please follow the instructions below to guarantee a long battery life: Rideally, charge the battery at a room temperature of 20 † (68 ‡). Before charging, give the battery sufficient time to reach this temperature. Ravoid frequent full discharges. The bat- tery prefers partial discharges. Lithium ion batteries do not have memory effect. Rbrief discharges with subsequent charges can cause an inconsistency between the charge indicator and the battery charge level. After approx- imately 30 charges, allow the battery to completely discharge and then re-charge it. This will allow the charge indicator to be periodically calibrated to the bat- tery charge level. Every lithium-ion battery is subject to operational wear. Cell oxidation occurs as a result of use and ageing. The battery capacity decreases. The typical lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is between 2 and 3 years, regardless of whether it is used or not. Battery protection mode The battery switches to protection mode if: Rthe ebike is not used for two months Rthe battery has been drained fully and is not charged within one week. The battery is inactive in protection mode. You can only activate the battery again after a complete charge cycle. The lighting system will not function if the battery is in protection mode.

Belt drive Important safety notes G WARNING If you install or handle the drive belt incorrectly, e.g. if you bend or twist it, you may cause damage that is not visible from outside. This type of damage to the drive belt can cause it to tear unexpectedly, causing you to slip off the pedals. There is a risk of accident and injury. RHandle the drive belt with utmost care and follow the instructions for use. RHave a damaged drive belt replaced immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. When handling the drive belt, avoid: Rkinking it in any direction Rtwisting it Rturning it inside out Rreverse bending Rtying or binding it up with cable ties or cord Rusing it as a tool Rmounting the drive belt by applying ten- sion with a lever or by turning the foot pedal Your smart ebike is fitted with an innova- tive drive belt, the Carbon Drive belt. It is a virtually maintenance-free system that does not require re-tensioning or lubri- cating when fitted and handled correctly. Handle this product with the utmost care to avoid damaging the carbon fibres embed- ded into the belt. Carbon fibres can withstand high tensile stress, but are sensitive to bending loads, shearing force, nicking and impact. Even though the belt's carbon fibres are sheathed, it is still extremely important to handle the Carbon Drive with care. Incorrect handling results in damage to the carbon fibres inside the drive belt. This type of damage to the drive belt can cause the belt to tear suddenly under load during a ride. Never use a drive belt that has been dam- aged. Riding in ice and snow G WARNING The belt pulleys can become clogged when riding the bike on ice and snow or clay mud. Belt drive 43

off and become damaged. This type of dam- age to the drive belt can cause it to tear unexpectedly, causing you to slip off the pedals. There is a risk of accident and injury. Do not ride the ebike on surfaces that are covered with snow, ice or mud. Tyres and wheels Notes G WARNING The water jet from a high-pressure cleaner can cause damage to the tyres or drive belt that is not visible on the surface. Compo- nents damaged in this way can fail unex- pectedly. There is a risk of an accident. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner when cleaning the ebike. Have damaged tyres or drive belt replaced without delay. The tyres establish the contact with the road surface. They provide grip and trac- tion and, depending on the tyre pressure, absorb small bumps. Although the wheels of your smart ebike are manufactured with great care and deliv- ered trued, this does not prevent the spokes from losing tension on the first kilome- tres. For this reason, you should regularly inspect the tension of the spokes and have them re-centred by a smart dealer. Tyre pressure G WARNING If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, inspect the tyres for foreign objects. Check whether the tube or the valve is leaking.If the tyre pressure is too low, the handling characteristics of the ebike may be impaired and could cause you to fall. There is a risk of an accident. RAlways replace a damaged tube. RBefore mounting a new tube, remove all foreign objects from inside the tyre. Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least every 14 days. Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. The pressure of warm tyres should only be corrected if it is too low for the current operating condi- tions. Warm tyres always have higher pres- sures than cold ones. The tyre pressure changes by around 10 kPa (0.1 bar, 1.45 psi) for every 10 † (50 ‡) change in ambient temperature. If you measure the tyre pressure in enclosed spaces where the temperature differs from the outside temperature, you will have to correct the measured value accordingly. When the ebike is ridden, the tyre temper- ature, and with it the tyre pressure, will increase depending on the speed and the load on the tyres. Always check the tyre pressure with suita- ble measuring equipment, e. g. a stand pump with a manometer. As your smart ebike's tyres are fitted with robust punc- ture protection made from plastic, you can- not check the pressure simply by pressing down on the tyre with your thumb. Tyre pressure specifications can be found in the "Technical data" section (Y page 70). The tyre's direction of rotation 44 Tyres and wheels

Tightening and aligning the drive belt
! If the drive belt tension is not cor-
rectly adjusted, the drive belt and other
components may be damaged.
If there is not enough tension in the
drive belt, the belt may slip on the belt
pulleys. This, in turn, may damage the
carbon fibres inside the drive belt. If
the drive belt has slipped, it should be
replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
If there is too much tension in the drive
belt, bearings and seals in the wheel hub
may be damaged. Wear and friction losses
in the drive system as a whole will also
increase.

i This Owner's Manual describes all mod- els and all standard and optional equip- ment available for your ebike at the time of publication of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possi- ble. Note that your ebike may not be fit- ted with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. i Read the information on qualified spe- cialist workshops: (Y page 10). Tyres and wheels Tyres The approved tyres have been specially designed for pedelecs. The use of any other type of tyre may result in increased rolling resistance and consequently in a reduced range. Furthermore, handling character- istics, resistance to flats and noise may be adversely affected. Therefore, when replacing the tyres, ensure that the new tyres are of the same type and size with a suitable tread. If in doubt, contact your nearest smart dealer. The reflective strips on the tyre sidewalls replace the spoke reflectors in accordance with legal requirements. Observe the direction of rotation when fit- ting a tyre. An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rotation. Further information on tyres and wheels can be found in the "Operation" section (Y page 44).
