Damaged components must be replaced at once! Prevent further use by taking
appropriate measures, i.e. saw the component into pieces. Damaged carbon
frames can possibly be repaired. Contact your SCOTT dealer.
Carbon components must not be exposed to excessive heat. Therefore, never
have a carbon component enamelled or powder-coated. The temperatures re-
quired for enamelling or powder-coating could destroy the component. Do not
leave carbon fibre components near a source of heat or in your car during hot
or sunny weather.
In addition, carbon is sensitive to pressure. Therefore, do not mount your SCOTT
frame on a mounting carrier with inappropriate clamps
(d)
.
Carbon components have, like all lightweight bike components, a limited service
life. For this reason, have the stem and the handlebars checked at regular inter-
vals (e.g. every three years), even if they have not experienced any undue stress,
such as an accident.
When you intend to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your car, be sure
to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components. Blankets
(e)
, foam
tubes or the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from
damage. Do not place any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your car.
Always park your SCOTT bike carefully
(f)
and make sure it does not topple
over. Carbon frames and components may already sustain damage by simply
toppling over and thereby hitting e.g. a sharp edge.
WARNING
If carbon components on your SCOTT bike produce any creaking or cracking
noises or show any external sign of damage, such as gouges, cracks, dents,
discolorations etc., do not use the SCOTT bike any longer. Contact your
SCOTT dealer immediately; he will check the component thoroughly.
