Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open“
(b)
on the lever.
Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”
and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this SCOTT info CD.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on
the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtu-
ally no resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/
fork
(c)
.
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase signifi-
cantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use
the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the
fork
(d)
or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle
(e)
, i.e. it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork
so that it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is
easy to handle for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the
hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed
(f)
. If you can turn the lever around,
open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side
clockwise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for
tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the
ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will
remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any
rattling.
4. Is the battery tight in its holder and the lock properly locked up? Never set off
with a loose and unlocked battery.
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
5. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure? Note
that a pedelec weighs more and that your usual tyre pressure may be insuffi-
cient. A higher pressure gives a better riding stability and reduces the risk of
a puncture. The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated
on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres”.
DANGER!

Do not use your SCOTT pedelec, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
SCOTT pedelec can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
USING QUICK-RELEASES
Most SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments,
assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight
before you set off on your SCOTT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with
greatest care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments
(a)
:
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a
cam when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
