GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For addi-
tional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manu-
facturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased
via your Quick Start Manual.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any
rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connec-
tions, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a SCOTT bike with suspension, press down on your SCOTT
bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual. For more
information see the chapters “Front suspension”, “Rear suspension“ and “Sus-
pension seat posts“ in this SCOTT general manual as well as in your detailed
original SCOTT operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB
and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model
specific manual.
7. If your bike has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised (f) before you set off.
Risk of falling!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain lock with you on your ride. The
only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it to an
immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your SCOTT bike is equipped ac-
cording to the applicable regulations of your country. Riding without lights and
reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous, because you will be seen
too late or not at all by other road users.
A set of lights that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads.
Turn on the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see the chapter
“Legal requirements for riding on public roads” in your detailed original SCOTT
operating instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-
Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page and your model specific
manual.
WARNING
Do not use your SCOTT bike, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
SCOTT bike can l ead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
