GENERAL WARNING
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to
practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and mainte-
nance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of
failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
WARNING
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or
serious injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or if
the relevant protective measures are not taken.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation which could result in minor or
moderate injury – if the relevant operational instructions are not followed or
if the relevant protective measures are not taken.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to address practices not related to physical injury – which
may, however, result in damage to property and the environment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol indicates specific safety-related instructions or procedures
about how to handle the product or refers to a section in the operating in-
structions that deserves your particular attention.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because
any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur
while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bicycle
under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in the SCOTT general
manual every time one of the symbols appears.
The present general manual together with the detailed original SCOTT operat-
ing instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and
“Road Bike” on the SCOTT web page complies with the requirements of the EN
ISO standards 4210-2 for city and trekking, young adult, mountain and racing
bicycles as well as the EN ISO standard 8098 for bicycles for young children.
It is essential to also observe the detailed original SCOTT operating instructions
“Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike” on the
SCOTT web page, your model specific manual and the manuals of the component
manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the
component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
