Therefore, before setting off on your new SCOTT bike, you should read at least
the chapter “Tests before your first ride”. To ensure as much fun and safety as
possible during cycling, be sure to carry out the functional check described in
the chapter “Tests before every ride” before setting off on your SCOTT bike.
Even a manual as detailed as an encyclopaedia could not describe every pos-
sible combination of available bicycle models and components. This SCOTT
owner’s manual therefore focuses on your newly purchased SCOTT bike and
standard components (c) and provides useful information and warnings for the
handling of your new SCOTT bike.
When doing any adjusting and servicing (d), be aware that the detailed instruc-
tions provided in your manual only refer to this SCOTT bike.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle type. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes, the
routines described may require complementary information. It is essential to also
observe the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
Be aware that these instructions may require further explanation, depending on
the experience and/or skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs you
may require additional (special) tools (e) or supplementary instructions.
This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
NOTE!
I
This SCOTT info CD includes the manuals of the component manufacturers
as well as the relevant web links.
Before you set off, let us point out a few things to you that are very important to
every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses
(f). Make sure to wear suitable, bright clothing. As a minimum you should wear
straight cut trousers or leg bands and shoes fitting the pedal system.
Always ride carefully on public roads and observe the traffic rules so as not to
endanger yourself or others.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the SCOTT own-
er’s manual every time one of the symbols appears.
The present SCOTT owner’s manual together with this SCOTT info CD complies
with the requirements of the EN ISO standard 4210-2 road bikes.
It is essential to also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this SCOTT info CD.
