routines described may require complementary information. It is essential to
also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers.
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

This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the com-
ponent manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
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
(c)
. 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.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Please be aware that cycling is a
potentially dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or
her SCOTT bike at all times. If necessary, attend a beginners course for cyclists,
as offered here and there.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to
ride a bike, you assume the responsibility for the risk. Please note that on a bike
you have no protection technique around you like you have in a car (e.g. body-
work, ABS, airbag). Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other traffic
participants.
