CAUTION
Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the brakes directly
after stopping, especially after a long downhill ride.
N OTICE
If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (a)
before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines and connections for leaks while pulling on the lever.
Contact your SCOTT dealer immediately in the event of a brake liquid leakage.
A leak in the brake lines can render the brake ineffective. Risk of accident!
Wear and maintenance
Hydraulic disc brakes have a mechanism which automatically compensates for
the worn down brake pads. The brake lever travel does not change (b).
Check the pads for wear at regular intervals (c) by following the service instruc-
tions in the manuals of the respective manufacturer.
WARNING
Loose connections and leaky brake lines drastically impair braking power.
If you find leaks in the brake system or buckled lines, contact your SCOTT
dealer immediately!
Do not transport your SCOTT road bike with saddle and handlebars upside
down – risk of brake failure. Never turn it upside down for repair works (d).
Do not open the brake lines. Brake fluid that can be very unhealthy and
damaging to the paint could leak out and render the brake ineffective.
