OWNER’S MANUAL 2021

WARNING

A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking.

Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap

(e)

, when trans-

porting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air

from entering the system.

Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer carefully before re-

moving the wheel or doing any maintenance work. Improper operation can

lead to brake failure.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs to be re-

placed regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
