replacement of defective or bent parts
maintenance and care
In case the bike is damaged by a crash or accident, please replace all damaged parts
immediately at your local SCOTT dealer. Never try to repair bent parts, they might fail
and cause an accident!
Before riding:
In the beginning the seat height should be adjusted in that way that your child, when
sitting on the saddle, can reach the ground with both feet. When more experienced
the saddle can be raised up into perfect riding position.
Important
Never exceed the seatpost and stem over the marked area. Otherwise the connection
can get loosen and can cause in worst case a crash.
Please check that your child can reach easily the handle bar and use brake- and shifting
levers as well as the bell.
Before every ride:
The traffic laws demand that one checks all functions that concern safety. Check every
brake when starting to ride. Also check the function of front and rear light and check
the air pressure of the tyres.
In addition to the checks listed above please check your bike regularly or if necessary,
according to the following list or contact your local SCOTT dealer to do so in order to
reach maximum safety and fun while riding.
- All bolts and nuts, especially the quick releases of the wheels for proper fit and in
case they are loose tighten them .
- Stem and handlebar for visible damages and replace them if necessary. Please make
sure that the bolts are tightened evenly when closing the front cap, according to the
tightening torque recommended by the producer of the parts.
- Braking systems
- Air pressure of the tyres according to the recommendation of the producer.
- Light systems and bell
- Handlebar grips to be fixed to the handlebar
- All parts of the rear suspension system including mounting bolts
- The front suspension fork for perfect function and play in the bushings.
- Front and rear derailleur for perfect function and grease them. If necessary readjust
the system and clean it.
- The play of the headset. If necessary readjust it.
- Brake and shifting cables for perfect wear and leakage on hydraulic systems.
If necessary grease the cables.
