SOME NOTES ON THE TRANSLATION OF THESE ORIGINAL SCOTT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Pay particular attention to the following symbols: DANGER! The illustrations on the first pages of the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions show a typical SCOTT mountain bike and two typical SCOTT pedelecs. One of these SCOTT bikes looks similar to the SCOTT bike you have purchased. Today’s bikes come in various types that are designed for specific uses and fitted accordingly.
NOTE! This symbol provides you with information about how to handle your SCOTT pedelec or refers to a passage in the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions that deserves your special attention. Also observe in any case the general warning information given in the translation of these original operating instructions. U The described possible consequences will not be repeated in this translation of the original SCOTT operating instructions every time one of the symbols appears.
Even a manual as detailed as an encyclopaedia could not describe every possible combination of available bicycle models and components. The translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions therefore focuses on your newly purchased SCOTT bike or SCOTT pedelec and standard components and provides useful information and warnings for the handling of your new SCOTT bike. This manual cannot teach you how to ride.
First, we would like to familiarize you with the various components of your SCOTT bike. Please unfold the cover of the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions. There you will find a SCOTT mountain bike (a) and two SCOTT pedelecs (b) showing all the essential components. Leave the page unfolded as you read so that you can easily locate the components as they are referred to in the text.
Due to their design and fittings, SCOTT cross-country (a+b), marathon and hardtail bikes (c) are not always suitable for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”. SCOTT bikes XC, Trail and Contessa Mountain belong to this category. The permissible overall weight (rider incl.
Category 5: SCOTT gravity, freeride, downhill and dirt jump bikes Due to their design and fittings, SCOTT gravity, freeride, downhill and dirt jump bikes are not always suitable for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”. The permissible overall weight (rider incl.
Pedelecs Pedelecs (pedal electric cycles) or EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles) are bicycles with an auxiliary motor that only switches on when you move the pedals. When you stop pedalling, the motor switches off. A driving licence is not required for riding a SCOTT pedelec (a+b), if the motor assistance switches off automatically at a speed of 25 kmh. You do not need an operating licence and need not insure the pedelec either.
DANGER! g or your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills. Please note that F though looking easy the tricks of a professional are hazardous to your life and limb. Always protect yourself with suitable clothing. DANGER! Please note that there are different types of pedelecs and e-bikes which are subject to different legal framework conditions. Check the class of your SCOTT pedelec or SCOTT e-bike in the SCOTT bike card (a).
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your heel. The hips should remain horizontal (a). Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (exception: full suspension SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position. For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”. 5.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE” WITH YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC 1. Have you ever ridden a pedelec? Please note the particular riding characteristics of this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set off for your first ride by selecting the lowest level of drive assistance (a)! Slowly approach the potential of your SCOTT pedelec in an area free of traffic.
TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE DANGER! H H Do not park your SCOTT pedelec in the blazing sun. DANGER! Remove the rechargeable battery (a) or the display before doing any work on your pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance, work on your drive etc.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the risk of injury! DANGER! The weight distribution on your SCOTT pedelec differs markedly from the weight distribution on bikes without drive assistance.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response, have the SCOTT bike checked by your SCOTT dealer immediately. For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. 5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connections, if necessary.
2. Is your battery fully charged? Remember to fully recharge the battery after each longer ride (e.g. less than 50% charged). SCOTT uses modern lithium-ion batteries. These have no memory effect. It does not matter, if your SCOTT pedelec is left as it is for a short time (e.g. during a break) when less than 50% charged (a). However, you should not wait until the battery is fully discharged! For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. 3.
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase significantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the fork (a) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way. A In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle, i.e. it should not stand out.
Hold the lock nut on the right side of the hub tight. Turn the RWS quick-release lever clockwise to pre-tighten the RWS system. Depending on the fork mounted or the frame model, the number of turns you need varies. You need at least six, in most cases however more turns. During the first turns you should be able to turn the RWS quick-release lever nearly without resistance. Turn the quick-release lever subsequently forcefully clockwise until the axle is hand-tight.
DANGER! After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars. In the case of hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a precise pressure point. To check it compress the suspension fork several times. G CAUTION! To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the manufacturer. Make it a rule to use a torque wrench.
Bolted thru axle (eccentric) NOTE! Before mounting or replacing a fork/wheel combination with thru-axle system, be sure to read first the manuals of the respective fork or wheel manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. More information are also provided at www.dtswiss.com I Maxle for RockShox RS-1 In the case of the Maxle thru-axle system for RockShox RS-1 forks with quick-release lever, insert the wheel from the front into the recess of the fork (a).
Fox E-Thru 15 QR Wheel mounting If you have an E-Thru 15 mm thru-axle systems (a), put the front wheel into the fork and slide in the brake disc into the brake calliper at the same time. Bring the front wheel into the right position between the drop-outs and slide the axle with the E-Thru-quick-release lever open from the left side through the drop-out and the hub (b). When the axle thread engages with the thread of the right fork leg, turn the axle clockwise (c).
ADJUSTING THE SCOTT BIKE TO THE RIDER NOTE! Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your SCOTT bike. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike quickly (a). By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you will be riding in (b.
Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom bracket or top tube as a reference point (a). Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-release, as described in the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles” or by turning the seat post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5 Nm increments starting at 3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the frame.
In the case of SCOTT mountain bikes an Aheadset®-stem (a) allows the vertical adjustment of the handlebars. This requires special knowledge. In this regard, the descriptions hereafter may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. DANGER! G he stem is one of the load bearing parts of your SCOTT bike. Changes to T it can impair your safety.
Check after the adjustment or assembly, whether the handlebars are firmly seated in the stem by trying to rotate the handlebars downwards (a). Verify whether the handlebar/stem-combination can be turned relative to the fork. Do this by taking the front wheel between your knees and trying to twist the handlebars. If there is movement, carefully tighten the bolts a little more and check again the proper fit (b). Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.
6. Tighten the expander by using an 8-mm Allen key to a maximum torque value of 4-5 Nm making sure that the expander stays flush to the top of the steerer and doesn’t lift slightly (a). Make sure there is no more than 2.5 mm between the top of the stem clamp and the top of the steerer as shown on the illustration. Top cap max. 2.
NOTE! DANGER! The manufacturers of saddles deliver their products with detailed manuals. You find these manuals on this SCOTT info CD. Read them carefully before adjusting the position of your saddle. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. I Adjustment of saddle position and tilt With patent seat posts (a) one or two bolts fix the clamping mechanism, which controls the tilt and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat posts have two bolts side-by-side.
If you have a single bolt system (a), the seat post for most of the sports saddles is designed for a saddle rail diameter of 7 mm. Replacement outer clamps for ovalized saddle rails of 8 mm x 8.5 mm (W x H) as well as for carbon saddle rails bigger than 8 x 8.5 mm are also available. If you are not sure which saddle rail type you have or if you need further information, contact your SCOTT dealer.
Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices at the brake lever (a). There are different systems. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice or read the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the first phalanx of the index finger reaches around the brake lever (b).
SCOTT DIRT AND FREERIDE BIKES Bar ends Bar ends (a) give you additional ways of gripping the handlebars. They are usually fixed in a position that gives the rider a comfortable grip when pedalling out of the saddle. The bar ends are then almost parallel to the ground or tilted slightly upwards (by about 25°). Release the bolts, which are usually located on the underside of the bar ends (b), by one to two complete turns.
DANGER! Before using your SCOTT dirt and freeride bike on most challenging terrain, for jumps, tricks or the like, check whether your SCOTT dirt and freeride bike is suitable for these uses. For more information about the intended use see the chapter “Intended use of your SCOTT bike”. G DANGER! SCOTT bikes for dirt biking and freeriding are true-bred sports bikes (a+b). For your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills.
SUSPENSION ON SCOTT BIKES GLOSSARY Suspension fork Bicycle fork (a) absorbing and damping shocks through moving components. The most common among these forks are the telescopic suspension forks. What is designated as stanchion tubes are the thinner tubes press fitted or screwed to the fork crown of a telescopic fork. What is designated as lower leg are the lower tubes in which the stanchion tubes slide in.
FRONT SUSPENSION Most of the SCOTT mountain bikes (a) and SCOTT pedelecs (b) have suspension forks. This feature gives you better control of your SCOTT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces and ensures more ground contact for the tyre. It noticeably reduces the strain on you and your bicycle caused by the mechanical shocks from the terrain. Suspension forks differ in their types of spring elements and damping.
Always make a test ride over different terrains with various surfaces after each change to the settings (a-c). Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable tie. Its distance from the wiper is the maximum suspension travel that you have used. If the rubber o-ring/cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, your rear shock is too firm. Reduce the air pressure of air sprung forks or the initial spring tension of coil springs. If that brings no improvement, have the springs replaced.
A weaker damping ensures a good responsive performance, leads however to an excessive compression of the suspension fork when riding at high speed over obstacles, e.g. steps, or to a bouncing when riding out of the saddle under certain conditions. A too strong damping hardens the suspension and thus reduces the riding comfort.
CAUTION! A CAUTION! Do not actuate the lockout function when riding over rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain (roads or field tracks). A I I NOTE! Maintenance Suspension forks are components of sophisticated design that require regular maintenance and care. This has led almost all suspension fork manufacturers to establish service centres where you can have your forks thoroughly checked and overhauled at regular intervals according to use, e.g. once a year. 1.
What to bear in mind when adjusting the seating position According to the rear shock adjustment the saddle can tilt a little backwards. Keep this in mind when adjusting the saddle tilt. If you have trouble sitting, try lowering the nose of the saddle a little compared to your usual position. For dirt, freeride and downhill use the saddle is often set to a very low position and tilted backwards. NOTE! Full suspension SCOTT bikes have a greater ground clearance than bicycles without rear suspension.
Always make a test ride over different terrains with various surfaces after each change to the setting. Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable tie. Its distance from the wiper is the maximum rear shock travel that you have used. If the rubber o-ring/cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, the setting of the rear shock is too hard (a). Reduce the pressure or in the case of rear shocks with coil springs the spring preload. If that brings no improvement, have the springs replaced.
Rear shocks with adjustable rebound damping (a+b) have an adjusting knob (mostly red) to slow down or accelerate the rebound movement. If a second (mostly blue) knob is available, the compression speed can be set and/or the lockout function (c) can be activated. Start the setting with a completely open damping (rebound and compression level on “-”) (d). Hold the saddle with both hands. Lean with your entire weight on the saddle and remove your weight immediately.
Maintenance NOTE! I I n case of inquiries, contact your SCOTT dealer or follow the respective instructions in the manual of the rear shock manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. Lockout When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedalling out of the saddle, a rear frame is typically bobbing. It is advisable to lock the damping, if the rear shock has a lockout mechanism (a). For downhill rides on uneven ground the lockout mechanism must be open stringently.
Lift your SCOTT bike for checking by the saddle (a) and try to move the rear wheel to both sides. If you need help, ask a helper to hold the front part of the frame tight. To check whether the rear shock has play, place down the rear wheel gently and lift it again subsequently. Listen for rattling noises. If there is play, have it repaired by your SCOTT dealer immediately. DANGER! G uspension elements are of sophisticated design.
With disc brakes (a) prolonged braking or permanent dragging of brake pads can lead to an overheating of the brake system. This can result in a reduction of the braking power or brake failure. Risk of accident! RIM BRAKES When riding downhill, get used to braking hard and then releasing the brake again (b), whenever the road surface and the situation allows for it. If you are in doubt about the braking action, stop and let the brake system cool down.
The brake levers must always remain clear of the handlebars. You should not even be able to pull them all the way to the handlebars in the event of an emergency stop. If this is the case, however, observe the following chapter “Synchronising and readjusting”. With an unapplied brake the brake pads should not be too close to the rim sides, otherwise they could drag along the rim during riding.
Hydraulic disc brakes DANGER! New brake pads have to be bedded in before they reach their optimal braking performance. Accelerate your SCOTT bike about 30 to 50 times to around 30 kmh and bring it to a halt each time. This procedure is finished, when the force required at the lever for braking has stopped decreasing. G DANGER! G G Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the brakes directly after stopping, especially after a long downhill ride.
NOTE! Transport of your SCOTT bike with the wheels mounted: Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air from entering the system. i NOTE! When transporting your SCOTT bike with the wheels removed, make sure to mount the transport locks. Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes (a).
DANGER! G ontinue pedalling at reduced cadence during gear shifting, however, at C clearly reduced pedalling force. In particular when shifting through the chainrings continue pedalling slowly and without force. DANGER! With SCOTT pedelecs reduce the cadence and the pedalling force shortly before you start shifting. In doing so there is a short interruption of the drive. If you continue pedalling, the high chain forces could result in a chain failure.
Pulling the small lever located in front of the handlebars from the rider’s viewpoint and actuated with the index finger (index finger lever) (a) shifts the chain towards the smaller chainwheels/sprockets, i.e. on the right side to the higher gears and on the left side to the lower gears. NOTE! Read in any case carefully the manual of the gear manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. Make yourself familiar with your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger sprocket, check whether it just as easily shifts to the small sprockets. If it does not, release the respective adjusting bolt a little. You may need several tries. This adjustment prevents the chain from getting stuck between sprocket and spokes or the rear derailleur or the derailleur cage from touching the spokes, which could result in damage to the spokes, the rear derailleur and the frame. In the worst case, this could result in a fall or accident.
DANGER! G djusting the front derailleur is a very delicate job. Improper adjustment A can cause the chain to jump off, thus interrupting the power train. This can cause a fall! CAUTION! A Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your bicycle (a). BICYCLE CHAIN Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding and prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular application of lubricant that counts.
WHEELS AND TYRES CHAIN MAINTENANCE Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your SCOTT bike, there are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated regularly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain in the straightest line (a+b) between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the habit of high cadence pedalling. Chains on mountain bikes with derailleur gears are worn out after approx.
NOTES ON TYRES, INNER TUBES, RIM TAPE, INFLATION PRESSURE The tyres should provide grip and traction. At the same time they should run smooth and enhance the rider’s comfort by absorbing small shocks. Both the rolling friction and the grip depend on the nature of the tyre carcass, the rubber compound and the tyre tread. Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you choose from the numerous types of tyres (a).
VALVES RIM TRUENESS AND SPOKE TENSION There are two valve types in general use on SCOTT mountain bikes: For the true running of the wheel (e) it is imperative that the tension exerted by the spokes is distributed evenly around the rim. If the tension of a single spoke changes, e.g. as a result of riding fast over a kerb or of a loose nipple, the tensile forces acting on the rim become unbalanced and the wheel will no longer run true.
REPAIRING TYRE PUNCTURES Punctures during cycling are the most common cause for flat tyres. However, as long as you have the necessary tools and a spare tube or a repair kit, this need not mean the end of your cycle ride. If your wheels are attached with quick-releases to the frame and the fork, you only need two tyre levers and a pump (a). NOTE! I You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear derailleur slightly backwards (d).
After levering a part of the tyre bead over the edge of the rim you should normally be able to slip off the whole tyre on one side by moving the tyre lever around the whole circumference. Now you can remove the inner tube. Make sure the valve does not get caught in the rim, as this can damage the inner tube. If necessary you can remove the whole tyre by pulling the other tyre bead off the rim.
To make sure the inner tube does not get pinched between the rim and the bead, move the tyre sideways back and forth between the sides of the rim. While doing so, also check whether the rim tape has shifted. Inflate the inner tube to the desired pressure. The maximum pressure is indicated on the side of the tyre. CAUTION! A I mproper mounting can lead to malfunctioning or tyre damage. Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructions of the component manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT REMOUNTING THE WHEEL Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting. Make sure the wheel is correctly seated in the drop-outs (a) and accurately centred between the fork legs or the seat and chain stays. Make sure that the quick-release or the thru axle is correctly seated (b). For more information see the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles”. If you have V-brakes and cantilever brakes hook up the brake cable at the brake arm.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently tighten the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the components (a). The maximum torque values are printed directly on the components or specified in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD. 6. Finally, take a good look at the whole SCOTT bike to detect any deformations, colour changes or cracks.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT” WITH YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC CARBON – A PARTICULAR MATERIAL 1. Check the rechargeable battery (a+b). Try to remove the rechargeable battery from its mounting. If the rechargeable battery is no longer properly in its holder or shows any damage, do not use your SCOTT pedelec any longer, at least not in the assistance mode. Switch off the drive and the rechargeable battery separately, if necessary.
When you intend to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your car, be sure to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components (a). Blankets, foam tubes or the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from damage. Do not place any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your car. Always park your SCOTT bike carefully and make sure it does not topple over. Carbon frames and components may already sustain damage by simply toppling over and thereby hitting e.g. a sharp edge.
DANGER! G Riding the bicycle with a loose headset increases the stress on fork and bearings. This can lead to damage to the fork. Risk of falling! Checking and readjusting Check the headset for play by placing your fingers around the upper headset cup (a). Bring your weight to bear on the saddle, pull the front brakes with your other hand and push the SCOTT bike firmly back and forth with the wheel remaining on the ground.
RIDING A SCOTT PEDELEC RIDING WITH MOTOR ASSISTANCE Your SCOTT pedelec (a+b) is designed to be used like a conventional SCOTT bike. The unique riding experience, however, starts when you actuate the drive system (c). At that moment the assistance generated by the 250 W motor increases with its high torque the stronger you pedal. The system is switched on and off at the buttons of the control element on the battery or on the handlebars.
Keep in mind that the other road users are not yet used to the new pedelecs and their higher speeds. Ride with this fact in mind and anticipate the actions of other road users. Be aware that the speed you ride at will be clearly faster than you are used to. Therefore, keep these facts in mind and be ready to brake whenever an unclear or a possibly dangerous situation comes into your field of vision.
If your battery has not enough capacity to reach your destination, benefit from the decisive advantage of the hybrid concept of your SCOTT pedelec: Without drive assistance you can ride your SCOTT pedelec like a usual SCOTT bike with an unlimited range and nearly without compromising on riding characteristics. DANGER! If your battery runs empty during the ride, do not recharge the battery with any charger, even if it happens to be fitted with an identical connector type.
DANGER! H H Towing child trailers or mounting and using child carriers is not permitted for SCOTT speed pedelecs. DANGER! When riding a SCOTT speed pedelec wearing a suitable helmet (a) is compulsory in Germany and Switzerland. Check the regulations on wearing helmets in your country. Ask your SCOTT dealer about suitable SCOTT helmets for SCOTT speed pedelecs. DANGER! Pull the brake lever of the rear wheel brake (b) and stop pedalling. The pedelec stops.
DANGER! DANGER! We recommend that you charge your battery only during the day and only in dry rooms which have a smoke or a fire detector; but not in your bedroom. Place the battery on a big, non-inflammable plate (a) made of ceramics or glass during the charging process! Unplug the battery once it has been charged up. H DANGER! H eep the rechargeable battery and the charger away from moisture and K water during the charging process to exclude electric shocks and short circuits.
CAUTION! NOTE! Make sure not to discharge your rechargeable battery completely (also referred to as depth discharge). This can occur, when the battery has run out completely and the SCOTT pedelec was left standing for some days. Depth discharge will affect the rechargeable battery of your SCOTT pedelec permanently. A deep-discharged battery can only be recharged in exceptional cases and with special chargers. Contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER! G n incomplete or inoperative lighting set is not only against the law, it is A also a hazard to your life. Cyclists riding in the dark without a light are liable to be overlooked and at risk of getting involved in serious accidents! CAUTION! A echargeable battery-operated lights do not have a memory effect. Charge R the rechargeable batteries of the lights at regular intervals, e.g. after every long ride.
PEDALS AND SHOES DANGER! Cycling shoes (a) should be made of solid material to provide firm support for your feet. In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the rear stays or the crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will prevent your feet from assuming a natural position when pedalling and may cause knee pain in the long run.
ACCESSORIES Bicycle locks In purchasing this SCOTT bike you laid the foundation for many years and miles of enjoyable cycling. Whatever you are planning to do with your SCOTT bike, be sure to have proper equipment and to keep a few tips in mind. Your SCOTT dealer has a variety of useful accessories on offer enhancing both your safety and convenience. Do not forget to take a high quality D- (c) or chain lock with you on your ride.
Retrofittable mudguards for fix fastening are usually made of plastics and are secured in the correct position by means of additional stays. The length of the stay is perfect when the bottom edge of the mudguard runs at an approx. distance of 15 mm parallel to the tyre. Also make sure neither the brakes nor the steering are affected. If your SCOTT bike has suspension, verify that the mudguards do not collide with the tyres, even if the rear wheel is fully compressed.
Whatever system you opt for, make sure it complies with the relevant safety standards, e.g. DIN/EN standards of your country (GS symbol). Read the manual of your bicycle carrier and comply with the maximum load capacity and recommended or prescribed driving speed. If applicable, comply with the required supporting load on the trailer hitch. DANGER! G G Make sure to remove all parts of your SCOTT bike (tools, pannier bags, tachometers etc.) which may come loose during transport.
NOTE! I I Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one bicycle with him. NOTE! efore you start your trip inform yourself in time about the conditions of B carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bicycle transport in the countries through which you intend to travel.
By plane CAUTION! Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and above all the rechargeable battery, if possible, the control element (a) and the cycle computer (b) on the handlebars before transporting the pedelec inside or outside the car. If you transport your SCOTT pedelec without its battery (c) on a bike carrier system, protect the connections against water, moisture and dirt, for example, with a plastic bag (d).
It is advisable to have your SCOTT bike serviced regularly by your SCOTT dealer after the bedding-in phase, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance schedule. If you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces or off-road, it will require correspondingly shorter service periods (see SCOTT service plan).
DANGER! CAUTION! Remove the rechargeable battery or the display before doing any work on your SCOTT pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance, work on your drive etc.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the risk of injury! G DANGER! While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as deformed or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediately and touch up paint defects.
NOTE! For more information on the safekeeping and storing of your SCOTT pedelec see the chapter “Information for proper handling of the rechargeable battery” and the system instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD. U WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN SERVICING SCOTT SPEED PEDELECS Please note that in the case of SCOTT speed pedelecs only certain components are allowed to be replaced, otherwise there is the risk of loosing the operating licence and the insurance cover.
SCOTT SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE It is advisable to have your SCOTT bike serviced regularly after the bedding-in phase. The schedule given in the table below is a rough guide for cyclists who ride their bike between 1,000 and 2,000 km or 50 to 100 hours of use a year. If you consistently ride more or if you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces, the maintenance periods of the SCOTT service plan will shorten accordingly.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE SETTINGS FOR YOUR SCOTT BIKE RECOMMENDED TORQUE SETTINGS FOR DISC BRAKES ON YOUR SCOTT BIKE Component All bolted connections of the bike components have to be tightened carefully and checked regularly to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the SCOTT bike. This is best done with a torque wrench that disengages as soon as the desired torque value has been reached or a click-type torque wrench. Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.
NOTE! I ome components have the maximum permissible torque values printed on S them. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque value! If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RIDING ON PUBLIC ROADS If you want to use your SCOTT bike for riding on public roads (a), it has to be equipped according to the regulations of the respective country.
