INFORMATION FOR PROPER HANDLING OF THE
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Remove the rechargeable battery (d), if you do not use your SCOTT pedelec
for a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season). Store the recharge-
able battery in a dry room at temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius.
The state of charge should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity. Check the
state of charge (e), if the rechargeable battery is left unused for more than two
months and recharge it in between, if necessary, to 50 %, i.e. until half of the
LEDs.
Clean the battery housing with a dry or, if at all, a slightly moist rag. Do not
direct the water jet of a high-pressure cleaner at the rechargeable battery
or submerge the battery into water, as there is a risk of water entry and/or
short-circuit.
For more information on the proper handling of your rechargeable battery see
the system instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger (f). Do not use the
charger of any other manufacturer, not even when the connector of the
charger matches your rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can heat
up, catch fire or even explode!
DANGER!
H
Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger out of the reach of children!
DANGER!
H
Towing child trailers or mounting and using child carriers is not permitted
for SCOTT speed pedelecs.
DANGER!
H
When riding a SCOTT speed pedelec wearing a suitable helmet (a) is
compulsory in Germany and Switzerland. Check the regulations on wearing
helmets in your country. Ask your SCOTT dealer about suitable SCOTT helmets
for SCOTT speed pedelecs.
DANGER!
H
Pull the brake lever of the rear wheel brake (b) and stop pedalling. The
pedelec stops. Emergency stop! The shortest possible stopping distance is
achieved by braking with both brakes simultaneously and gradually (see chap-
ter “Brakes”).
DANGER!
H
For your own safety, always ride your SCOTT speed pedelec with the light
switched on (c), wear bright clothing as well as a suitable helmet and glasses.
DANGER!
H
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original
spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or
tyres that are not of identical size, may cause harm to the safety of your SCOTT
pedelec or SCOTT speed pedelec. Risk of accident! In the case of SCOTT speed
pedelecs be sure to only assemble original spare parts, otherwise the operating
licence expires.
CAUTION!
S
Be aware that the brakes of your SCOTT speed pedelec are always more
effective than the drive. If you face any problems with your drive (e.g. be-
cause it pushes you forward in front of a bend), slow down your SCOTT speed
pedelec carefully.
NOTE!
U
The regulations and rules for pedelecs and speed pedelecs are being re-
vised constantly. Read the daily press to keep you informed about current
legislative changes.
