This will ensure the safe functioning and therefore has an influence on the liabili-
ty for material defects and the warranty.
For more information see the chapter “SCOTT service and maintenance sched-
ule” and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
WARNING
Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your SCOTT dealer. If you have
your bike serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that parts
of your SCOTT bike will fail. Risk of accident! When working on your SCOTT
bike restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the suitable tools, e.g. a
torque wrench, and the necessary knowledge.
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original
spare parts
(e)
. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or
tyres that are not of identical dimension, may render your SCOTT bike un-
safe. Risk of accident!
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm
your SCOTT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all compo-
nents at regular intervals
(f)
.
Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is
likely to enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants
hereby increasing the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of
the bearing races in the long term. High-pressure jets are also likely to remove
frame and rim stickers.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet
or a bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand
has another positive side-effect: You may discover defects in the paint as well as
worn or defective components at an early stage.
