BICYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult
thoroughly reads and explains the safety instructions in this manual to the minor.
Please ensure your SCOTT bike is completely assembled by your authorized SCOTT
dealer. This ensures that your bike is correctly set up to optimize safety, performance
and fun while riding.
It is important to understand the basics of and exercise common sense when cycling.
Cycling is a dynamic sport that requires awareness of and reaction to various situations
and surroundings. Like any sport, cycling involves risks of injury and damage. By
choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for those risks.
IMPORTANT!
Please use your bike only for the purpose it was made for.
For instance, a road racing bike should not be used as a substitute for a mountain bike in
off road terrain. Nor should a Trekking bike be used for downhill racing or road racing.
If you have any questions regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact your
authorized dealer.
Ride Frequently!
1.
Obey all traffic laws.
Use proper signals when turning.
Never tow yourself behind another vehicle.
Do not weave or race in traffic.
2.
Watch out for parked cars.
A car door can open or a car can pull out into traffic at any time.
3.
Always ensure you are highly visible.
Wear bright colors, install reflectors properly and use lights at night.
4.
Always wear a helmet.
Ensure the helmet meets or exceeds national safety standards.
5.
Ensure that your bicycle is in good working condition before every ride.
Check your brakes, tires, components, etc.
6.
Ensure that the bike is the right size.
The rider should be able to reach the brake levers properly.
7.
Never have two people on a bicycle designed for one.
Except specially designed and properly installed child carriers.
8.
Mount loads securely.
Never mount anything that interferes with brakes or vision.
SADDLE HEIGHT
Comfortable riding depends on the position and height of the saddle. You can adjust
the saddle height by:
1. Straddle the saddle. Place the ball of your foot on the pedal nearest to the ground.
Make sure the cranks are vertical.
2. If the heel of your foot points down about 30 degrees, the saddle height is correct.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the limit marking on your seat post is inside the seat tube. If it is not
possible to reach the correct seat height, you will need a larger size.
Ensure that the seatpost marking is inserted into the
frame. If you need to change the inclination of the
saddle or the horizontal position, ensure you do not
exceed the max. tightening torque.
Screws with M5 should be tightened with 6 Nm, and
M8 with 20 Nm.
Ensure the saddle is installed correctly with the seat
post before every ride.
Please note that SCOTT is not responsible for
damages caused by neglecting the tightening torques
on the seat clamp fixing screws.
CHAIN TENSION
If the chain needs to be tensioned
again, release nut A on both sides
and pull the rear wheel straight
backward until the tension is ok.
Retighten nut A on both sides.
Please note the tightening torque in
the Tightening Torques table at the
end of this manual.
