CONGRATULATIONS BICYCLE SAFETY

Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT bicycle! We are confident that the bicycle will exceed your expectations for value, performance, and ride quality. Each frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your riding experience. Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned pro, SCOTT bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.

We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this manual and familiarise yourself with your new bicycle. If you have purchased a bike for your children, please take the time to make sure they understand the information contained in this Owner’s Manual.

Important! If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult/ parent thoroughly reviews and reads the Owner’s Manual to the minor.

Please make sure to get your SCOTT bike completely assembled from your authorized SCOTT dealer.

This is very important for optimum performance and safety and guarantees you a long lasting joy while riding your bike.

It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle, but it is equally important to exercise common sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires reacting to varying situations. Like any sports, cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.

Important! Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for. For instance a road racing bike can not be used to substitute a mountain bike in off road terrain or a Trekking bike can not be used for downhill racing or road racing.

If you have questions or problems regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact your Authorized Dealer.

Ride Frequently!

1. Obey all traffic laws,

2. Make sure that the bike size is right for the rider, and that he can reach brake levers properly.

3. Make sure that the brakes and the bicycle work perfectly well (cf maintenance).

4. Always have a light at night and install reflectors properly.

5. Never ride two people on a bicycle designed for one (except specially designed and properly installed child carriers.).

6. Never hitch a ride on another vehicle.

7. Do not weave or race in traffic.

8. Watch out for parked cars (door can be opened at any time) and cars pulling into traffic.

9. Use proper signals when turning.

10. Mount loads securely. Never carry packages that interfere with brakes or vision.

11. Always wear a helmet.

SADDLE HEIGHT

CHAIN TENSION

Comfortable riding not only depends on the position of the saddle, but also on its height. You can accurately adjust the height of the saddle to the length of your legs when you proceed as follows:

1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on the pedal nearest to the ground. Make sure the cranks are vertical.

2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees, the height of the saddle is correct.

Caution!

Make sure that the limit mark on your seat post is inside the seat tube. If it is not possible to reach the correct seat height, you have to choose a size above.

Make sure that this mark is inserted into the frame. If you need to change the inclination of the saddle or the horizontal position, please make sure not to exceed the max. tightening torque.

Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, M8 with 20 Nm. Please make sure the saddle is connected perfect with the seat post before every ride. Please note that SCOTT is not responsible for damages caused by neglecting the

tightening torques on the seat clamp fixing screws.

In case the chain needs to be tensioned again, please release on both sides nut A and pull the rear wheel straight backward until the tension is ok.

Please retighten nut A on both sides. Please note the tightening torque as mentioned in the table of tightening torques at the end of this file.

BRAKES

Brake adjustment general

Your SCOTT bike is fitted with a reliable and well-functioning braking system, provided the brakes are correctly adjusted. Check by measuring the distance between the brake shoes and the rim: it should be 1.5 to 2 mm.

Cable connection and adjustment of the (Dual Pivot) brake

1. Put the quick lever on the closed position.

2. Adjust the brake shoe clearance (as shown in the illustration) and secure the cable with the pinch bolt nut.

Cable bolt tightening torque 6-8 Nm

Caliper brake

Release counter nut A and turn adjustment screw B counter clockwise until the distance between brake pads and rims is approx. 2mm on each side. Tighten counter nut A.

- In case adjustment screw B is released already to the limit, please release cable clamping screw C and turn adjustment screw clockwise to its original position.

- Close the caliper brake with your hand to the rim , adjust the brake cable and tighten clamping screw C. Please note the table of tightening torques at the end of this file.

- Finally make the fine tuning with adjustment screw B as mentioned above. The wheel needs to spin free without touching the brake pads. Fix counter nut A.

V-Brakes

1. While holding the shoe against the rim, tighten the shoe fixing nut.

2. Pass the inner cable through the inner cable lead, and after setting so that the total of the clearances between the left and right shoes and the rim is 2 mm tighten the cable fixing bolt.
