3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes,
watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim
(c)
. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with
ruptured sides or broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars
(d)
. The brake pads of
rim brakes
must hit the rim evenly with
their entire surface without touching the tyre during braking, in open condi-
tion or in between.
You should not be able to pull the lever all the way to the handlebars. If your
bike has hydraulic brakes, check the hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake
fluid leaks! Check the thickness of the brake pads, as well.
With
disc brakes
you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have
to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response,
have the SCOTT bike checked by your SCOTT dealer immediately.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height
(e)
. If there
is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted
connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a SCOTT bike with suspension, press down on your SCOTT
bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual
(f)
.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Suspension
seat posts” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD.
CAUTION!

Before towing a trailer with your SCOTT pedelec contact your SCOTT deal-

CAUTION!
S
Before mounting a child seat, have a look at the SCOTT bike card and con-
tact your SCOTT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
Note that not all SCOTT pedelecs are fitted with kickstands. Therefore,
when parking your SCOTT pedelec, make sure it stands safe and secure
and is not at risk of toppling over or being knocked over. If your SCOTT pedelec
topples over, it can suffer from damage.
TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your SCOTT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a final
check has been carried out by your SCOTT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to
check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to
the transport of your SCOTT bike or to changes a third person may have per-
formed on your SCOTT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers
(a)
of the front and rear wheel properly closed
and the bolts of the seat post and other components accurately tightened?
For more information see the chapter “Using quick-releases” and the manuals
of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure
(b)
? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
