GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND SERVICING
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Your SCOTT dealer will have assembled and adjusted your SCOTT bike ready for
use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your SCOTT bike needs regular
servicing. Have your local SCOTT dealer do the scheduled maintenance work. This
is the only way to ensure that all components function safely and reliably for many
kilometres.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours
of initial use or four to six weeks, at the latest however after three months. The
bedding-in phase typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears coming
out of adjustment, so there is every reason to have your SCOTT dealer service
the SCOTT bike at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable. Therefore,
remember to make an appointment with your SCOTT dealer to have your new
SCOTT bike inspected. This first service is very important for both functioning and
durability of your SCOTT bike.
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 in the Quick Start
Manual). The off-season during the winter months is a very good time to take your
SCOTT bike to your SCOTT dealer for the annual inspection, as they will have plen-
ty of time for you and for servicing.
The intended use of your SCOTT bike includes regular servicing and the replace-
ment of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads or bowden and brake
cables. This will ensure the safe functioning and therefore has an influence on the
liability for material defects and the warranty.
For more information see the chapter “SCOTT service and maintenance schedule”
in this SCOTT general manual as well as in your detailed original SCOTT operating
instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road
Bike” on the SCOTT web page, your model specific manual and in the manuals of
the component manufacturers.
WARNING
Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your SCOTT dealer. If you have
your bike serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that parts
of your SCOTT bike will fail. Risk of accident! When working on your SCOTT
bike; restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the suitable tools, e.g. a
torque wrench, and the necessary knowledge.
WARNING
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original spare
parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres that
are not of identical dimension, may render your SCOTT bike unsafe. Risk of
accident!
