WARNING
Bear in mind that by overtightening the bolts the stem can crush the steer-
er tube. In particular forks with carbon steerer tubes are highly sensitive
to overtightening the steerer tube clamping at the stem. Risk of breakage!
Make sure the clamping area is absolutely free of grease when any of the
clamping faces is made of carbon. If necessary, use carbon assembly paste
in the clamping areas to ensure maximum clamping.
Check the secure seat of the stem by taking the front wheel between your
legs and trying to turn the handlebars and stem relative to the wheel
(e)
. A
loose stem can cause an accident.
Never change the preloading mechanism in the inside of the fork steerer
tube. Never install a star nut in carbon fork steerer tubes.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten the upper bolt, it only serves to adjust the headset play.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you do not succeed in adjusting the headset, this can have several reasons.
If you are not absolutely sure, ask your SCOTT dealer for help.
LIGHTING OF YOUR SCOTT BIKE
For riding on public roads a functioning lighting set
(f)
is obligatory (see the
