CAUTION!
A
Be sure to transport your SCOTT bike only with the wheels mounted. If
transporting your SCOTT bike with the wheels removed, make sure to
mount the safety locks. Pull the brake levers and secure them with a strong elas-
tic strap (c) when transporting a SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes (d). This
will prevent air from entering the system.
CAUTION!
S
Observe that due to the additional weight of pedelecs, it can be possible
that you cannot mount as much pedelecs as the carrier is designed for.
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
In the cities the regulations for taking SCOTT bikes (e) by public transport differ.
In some places there are for example off-times when you are not allowed to
take your SCOTT bike with you or only with an additional bicycle ticket. Inform
yourself in time about the regulations of carrying the bicycle before you start
the trip!
The regulations for taking bicycles and pedelecs with you by train (f) differ in
each country. Inform yourself in time about the respective transport regulations.
NOTE!
I
Remove, if necessary, heavy or bulky pannier bags and luggage for an easi-
er boarding and disembarking of the train.
NOTE!
I
Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one bicy-
cle with him.
NOTE!
I
Before you start your trip inform yourself in time about the conditions of
carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bicycle transport
in the countries through which you intend to travel.
DANGER!
G
Do not buy a carrier on which the SCOTT bike has to be mounted upside
down, i.e. with the handlebars and saddle fixed face down to the carrier.
This way of fastening the bicycle exposes handlebars, stem, saddle and seat
post to extreme stress during transport. Do not opt for a carrier system with
crank arm fit. Risk of breakage!
DANGER!
G
Check whether your SCOTT bike is properly fastened before and at regular
intervals during the journey, e.g. during a stop. A SCOTT bike that detaches
from the roof carrier may endanger other road users.
DANGER!
G
Always secure your SCOTT bike or its components when putting it/them
into the interior of your car. Parts shifting around can impair your safety.
CAUTION!
A
Most clamps are a potential source of damage to large-diameter frame
tubes that are not designed to be fixed in such clamps (a)! Do not use such
systems with carbon frames.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the lights and the number plate of your car are not hidden from
view. For some carriers, a second exterior rear view mirror is required by the
road traffic regulations.
CAUTION!
A
Bear in mind that your car has a greater overall height with the bicycle on it.
Measure the overall height and place a sign stating the height somewhere in
the cockpit or on the steering wheel so that it can be easily seen.
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (b)
before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted.
