Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines (b) and connections for leaks while pulling on the le-
ver. Contact your SCOTT dealer immediately in the event of a brake liquid leak-
age. 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 compensate for
the worn down brake pads. The brake lever travel does not change.
Check the pads (c+d) for wear at regular intervals by following the manuals of
the respective manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
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!
DANGER!
G
If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid (e), the latter needs to be
replaced regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Do not transport your SCOTT bike with saddle and handlebars upside down
– risk of brake failure. Never turn it upside down for repair works (f).
CAUTION!
A
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.
CAUTION!
a
A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking.
DANGER!
G
New brake pads have to be bedded in before they reach their optimal
braking performance. Accelerate your SCOTT bike about 30 to 50 times to
around 30 kmh and bring it to a halt each time. This procedure is finished, when
the force required at the lever for braking has stopped decreasing.
DANGER!
G
Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the brakes directly
after stopping, especially after a long downhill ride.
DANGER!
G
Dirty brake pads and rotors can lead to drastically reduced braking power.
Therefore, make sure the brake remains free of oil and other fluids, espe-
cially when you clean your SCOTT bike or grease the chain. Dirty brake pads
can under no circumstances be cleaned, they must be replaced! Rotors can be
cleaned with special brake cleaners or with warm water and mild soap.
DANGER!
G
Unusual noises (scratching, chafing etc.) during braking and/or a noticeable
change of the braking force (stronger or weaker) are indications that the
brake pads are soiled or worn down. Check the brake pads and replace them, if
necessary. Otherwise you risk further damage, e.g. to the rotor, or even an acci-
dent due to brake failure! If you are in doubt, contact your SCOTT dealer.
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (a)
before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted.
