GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND SERVICING
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Your SCOTT dealer will have assembled and adjusted your SCOTT bike ready
for use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your SCOTT bike needs reg-
ular servicing (a). Have your local SCOTT dealer do the scheduled maintenance
work. This is the only way to ensure that all components function safely and
reliably for many kilometres.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours
of initial use or four to six weeks, at the latest however after three months. The
bedding-in phase typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears com-
ing out of adjustment (b), so there is every reason to have your SCOTT dealer
service the SCOTT bike at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable.
Therefore, remember to make an appointment with your SCOTT dealer to have
your new SCOTT bike inspected. This first service is very important for both
functioning and durability of your SCOTT bike.
It is advisable to have your SCOTT bike serviced regularly by your SCOTT dealer
after the bedding-in phase, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and mainte-
nance schedule. If you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces or off-road, it will
require correspondingly shorter service periods (see SCOTT service plan in the
Quick Start Manual). The off-season during the winter months is a very good
time to take your SCOTT bike to your SCOTT dealer for the annual inspection,
as they will have plenty of time for you and for servicing your SCOTT bike.
The intended use of your SCOTT bike includes regular servicing and the re-
placement of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads (c) or bowden and
brake cables (d).
