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.

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.
