BICYCLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT!

If you purchased th is bicycle f or a minor, it is essential that a respons ible adult thorou ghly reads and explains the safety instruc tions in t his man ual to the minor.

Please ensure your SCOTT bike is completely asse mbled by your authorized SC OTT dealer. This ensures that your bike is correctly set up to optimize safet y, performa nce and fun while riding.

It is impor tant to understand the basics of an d exercise commo n sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport that requires awareness of and reaction to various situations and surroundings. Like any sport, cycling involves risks of injur y and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for those risks.

IMPORTANT!

Please us e your bike on ly for the p urpose i t was mad e fo r.

For instance, a road racing bike should not be used as a substitute for a mo untain bike in off road terrain. Nor should a Trekking bike be used for down hill racing o r road racing.

If you have any questions regarding your new SC OTT bicycle, please contact your authorized dealer.

Ride Frequently!

1. Obey all tra ffic laws . Use proper signals when turning. Never tow yourself b ehind another vehicle. Do not weave or race in traffic.

2. Watch out f or parked cars. A car door can open or a c ar can pull o ut into traffic at any time.

3. Always ensu re you are highly visible. Wear bright colo rs, install reflectors properly and use lights at night.

4. Always wear a helmet. Ensure the helmet meets or exceeds national safety standards.

5. Ensure that your bicycle is in good working condi tion before every ride. Check your brakes, tires, components, etc.

6. Ensure that the bike is the rig ht size. The rider sh ould be abl e to reach the bra ke levers pro pe rly.

7. Never have two people on a bicycle designed for one. Except speci ally design ed and prop erly installed child c arriers.

8. Mount loads securely. Never mount anything that interferes with b rakes or vision.

SADDLE HEIGHT

Comfortable riding depends on the position and height of the saddle . You can adjust the saddle height by:

1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on th e pedal nearest to the grou nd. Make sure the cranks are vertical.

2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees, the saddle h eight is correc t.

CAUTION!

Ensure that the limit marking on your seat post is inside th e seat tube. If it is not possible to rea ch the correc t seat height, you will nee d a larger size.

Ensure that the seatpost marking is inse rted into the frame. If you need to chan ge the inclination of the saddle or th e horizontal position, en sure you do not exceed the max. tightening torque.

Screws with M5 sho uld be tighten ed with 6 Nm, a nd M8 with 20 Nm.

Ensure the saddle is installed corre ctly with the seat post before ever y ride.

Please note that SCOT T is not responsible for damages c aused by neg lecting th e tightening torques on the seat clamp fixing screws.

CHAIN TENSION

If the chain needs to be tensioned again, release nut A on b oth sides and pull the re ar wheel straight backward u ntil the tension is ok.

Retighten nut A on both sides. Please note the tightening torque in the Tightenin g Torques table at the end of this manual.

TIRES AND RIMS

Tires should always be inflated within the man ufacture r’s recommendations . They are rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your t ir es).

Higher pre ssure for smo other roads or heavy riders .

Lower pressure for more shock a bsorption on rougher terrains.

For example:

INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (5 0PSI) - MA X. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)

RIM AND WEAR OF THE RIM

If the brake system has brake pads, please be aware that the rim will become worn through the action of braking.

When riding in wet and muddy terrain, for example, th e rim is quickly worn out.

The appea rance of small cracks or deformation of th e brake surface on the rim when increasing the tire pressu re indicates i ncreased wear of the rim. I f this occurs , the rim should be replaced imm ediately at an authorized dealer.

SCOTT bikes that are fu lly equipp ed (lights , mudgua rd, carri er) have a wea r‑out‑indic ato r.

Please follow the instruc tions of the rim manufac turer shown in the manual o r on the rim itself.

WHEELS

Bicycle wheels are desig ned to be removable for easier transportation an d for repair of a tire pu ncture. In most cases, the whee l axles are inserted into slots, called “dropouts” in the fork and f rame, but some suspe nsion mountain bikes use what is called a “ through axl e” wheel mounting sys tem.

If you have a mountain bike equipp ed with through axle front o r rear wheels, make sure tha t your deal er has given you the man ufact urer’s instru ctions, and follow those when installing or re moving a th rough axle wheel. If you don’ t know what a throug h axle is, a sk your d eal er.

Hex nuts or hex key bolts which are threaded on to or into the hub axle (bolt‑on wheel, fig . 10)

Your bicycle may be equipped with a dif ferent securing method for the front wheel than for the rea r wheel. D iscuss the wh eel securing method fo r your bicycle with your dealer.

It is very im porta nt that you unders tand th e type of wheel securing method on your bicycle, that you know how to secu re the wheels corre ctly, and that you know how to apply the correct clamp ing force t hat safely secures the wheel. Ask you r dealer to i nstruct you in corre ct wheel r emoval and installation , and ask h im to give you any available manufact urer’s instructions.

FRONT WHEEL SECONDARY RETENTION DEVICES

Most bicycles have front forks which utilize a secondary wh eel retention d evice to keep the wheel from disengaging if the q uick release is incorrectly adjusted. Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for corre ct quick release adjustme nt. Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:

1. The clip‑on typ e is a part whi ch the manufacturer a dds to the front wheel hub or front fork.

2. The integral type is molde d, cast or machined into the outer faces of the front fo rk dropouts.

Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on your bike.

WARNING!

Do not remove or dis able the secondary retention device . As its name implies , it serves as a ba ck‑up for a critical adjustm ent. If the quick release is not adjusted correctly, the secondary retention device can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork. Removin g or disabling the secon dary retention device may also void the warranty.

Failure to properly adjust the q uick release mechanism can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage, which could cause you to loose co ntrol and fall, resulting i n serious injury or death.

FIXING A FLAT TIRE

Bike tires are fit ted with tubes .

Remove the whee l from the bike and deflate it. U nhook the ti re from one sid e of the rim using tire tools. Do not screwdrivers .

Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or replace it . Install th e new or repaired tire. Fill the tube lightly with air in order to let it ta ke its shape. Put the valve stem through the hole, and fit the inside tire. Put the tire be ad in the rim starting at the valve and finishing at the op posite end, working on both sides. Push the valve stem into the tire and pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not pin ched und er the tire bead . Inflate with hand or foot‑pump.

Close the brake’s quick relea se system carefully.

USE OF A BICYCLE HAULER

SCOTT bikes are not intended to be used with haulers (load‑h aulers , kids‑haulers, Trailer bik es) .

Please note that SCOT T will not take any war ranty or res ponsibility when using a hau ler.

There are too ma ny different haulers a nd hauler fixation systems on the market to give a detailed table of system s that might fit without technical problems or endangering the passengers.

PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR

PARTS OF WEAR AND TEAR ARE EXCLUDED FROM AN Y WARRANT Y.

CHAIN

The chain is subject to wear and tear due to its use. The exte nd of the wear an d tear depends on the mainten ance and conditions the bike is subjec ted to (amount of kilometers, rain, di rt, salt, etc .).

Cleaning a nd greasin g will help to prolong the life of the chain but it is th e responsibility of the owne r to replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.

SPROCKETS, CHAINRINGS AND PULLEYS

The sprockets, chainrings and pu lleys are subje ct to wear and tea r due to their use. The extend of the wear and tear depends on the maintenance and conditions the bike is subjec ted to (amount of kilom eters, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).

Cleaning a nd greasin g will help to prolong the life of the sprockets, chainrings and pulleys, but it is the respon sibility of th e owner to replace them when re aching the ir wear limit.

SHIFTING AND BRAKE CABLES

All cables must be checked regularly and chan ged if necessary. Cables may need to be change d more regularly if the bike is of ten left o utside or exp osed to weather.

BRAKE PADS

All brake pads, whether they are rim‑b rakes, disc‑brakes or internal brakes , are subject to wea r and tear due to their use.

The extend of the wear and tear depends on the maintenance and conditions the bike is subjec ted to (amount of kilom eters, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).

Check your brake pads regularly and re place them if necessary.

RIMS

When using rim brakes, n ot only are the brake pads subject to wear an d tear, but also the rim. So regularly check the rims , e.g. when inflating the tires.

If you see small cracks or deformation in the brake surface of the rim while inflating the tires, then replace the rim immediately.

Rims with wear‑out indicators e nable the bike user to easily check the con dition of the rim. Refe r to the sticker on th e rim.

TIRES
