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 mainte-
nance schedule. If you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces or on uneven
ground, it will require correspondingly shorter service periods (see SCOTT ser-
vice plan). 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 plenty of time for you and for servicing.
The intended use of your SCOTT bike includes regular servicing and the re-
placement of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads (c) or bowden
and brake cables (d). 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 sched-
ule” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
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 (e), and the necessary knowledge.
DANGER!
g
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original
spare parts (f). 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!
By plane
If you intend to take your SCOTT pedelec by plane or to dispatch it by a for-
warding agent, you have to observe particular packing and labelling require-
ments for rechargeable batteries which are considered as hazardous goods.
Contact the airline, an expert for hazardous material or the forwarding agent in
time.
NOTE!
U
Contact the airline with which you intend to travel in time and inform your-
self about conditions and possibilities of taking your SCOTT pedelec with
you.
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 reg-
ular servicing (a). 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 com-
ing out of adjustment (b), 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.
