TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your SCOTT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a final
check has been carried out by your SCOTT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to
check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to
the transport of your SCOTT bike or to changes a third person may have per-
formed on your SCOTT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers (b), thru axles or nuts of the front and rear wheel,
the seat post and other components properly closed?
For more information see the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles”
and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure (c)? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes
(d), watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim (e). Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with
ruptured sides or broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars (f). The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with
their entire surface without touching the tyre during braking, in open condi-
tion or in between.
You should not be able to pull the lever all the way to the handlebars. If your
bike has hydraulic brakes, check the hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake
fluid leaks. Check the thickness of the brake pads, as well.
DANGER!
H
Do not park your SCOTT pedelec in the blazing sun.
DANGER!
H
Remove the rechargeable battery (a) or the display before doing any work
on your pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance, work on
your drive etc.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the risk of
injury!
DANGER!
H
The weight distribution on your SCOTT pedelec differs markedly from the
weight distribution on bikes without drive assistance. A SCOTT pedelec is
markedly heavier than a SCOTT bike without drive assistance. For this reason
parking, pushing, lifting and carrying the SCOTT pedelec is more difficult. Bear
this in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and unloading it or when
mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
DANGER!
H
Be aware that the brakes of your SCOTT pedelec are always more effective
than the drive. If you face any problems with your drive (e.g. because it
pushes you forward in front of a bend), slow down your SCOTT pedelec carefully.
DANGER!
H
For SCOTT pedelecs trailers, child carriers and pannier racks are not per-
mitted. Note that SCOTT will not assume liability for the use of trailers, child
carriers and pannier racks. Such a use would render the warranty null and void.
Exception: Mounting a suitable pannier rack is permitted, if the rear stays and
the drop-outs of your SCOTT bike have fastening devices for pannier racks.
Contact your SCOTT dealer before mounting.
CAUTION!
S
Please note that not all SCOTT pedelecs are fitted with kickstands. There-
fore, when parking your SCOTT pedelec, make sure it stands safe and
secure and is not at risk of toppling over or being knocked over. If your SCOTT
pedelec topples over, it can suffer from damage.
