Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable battery can result in water
or moisture entry which can lead to short circuits or electric shocks. The
rechargeable battery may catch fire or even explode! In such a case, con-
tact your SCOTT dealer immediately. For more information see the system
instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Check that all values are displayed properly and fully on the control unit
(d)
or the display. Do not use your SCOTT pedelec, if the control unit shows an
error message or a warning. In the case of critical errors the system switches
off automatically. In the case of non-critical errors the system may be still
operable.
Do not set off on your SCOTT pedelec when the control unit or the display
shows a warning. In such a case, contact your SCOTT dealer immediately. For
more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer on
this SCOTT info CD.
3. Let your SCOTT pedelec bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is
any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings, the bolts
(e)
and
the proper seat of the battery, if necessary.
THE HEADSET ON THE SCOTT BIKE
The headset
(f)
connects the fork to the frame, but allows it to move freely.
It must turn with virtually no resistance, if the SCOTT bike is to run straight,
stabilising itself as it travels. Shocks caused by uneven road surfaces expose the
headset to considerable levels of stress. In this way it can become loose and go
out of correct adjustment.
DANGER!
G
Riding the bicycle with a loose headset increases the stress on fork and
bearings. This can lead to damage to the fork. Risk of falling!
DANGER!

Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thoroughly. Damaged parts
must be repaired or replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice. For more
information on carbon components see the manuals of the component manu-
facturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Deformed components, especially components made of aluminum, can
break without previous warning. They must not be repaired, i.e. straight-
ened, as this will not reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This applies in
particular to the fork, the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and
the pedals. When in doubt, it is always the better choice for your safety to have
these parts replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.
DANGER!
G
If your SCOTT bike is assembled with carbon components, it is imperative
that you have it checked by your SCOTT dealer after an accident or similar
incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very low weight, making
it perfect for the production of high-performance parts. However, one of the
inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress may compromise the
inner carbon-fibre structure without showing any visible deformation, as is the
case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component can fail without previous
warning. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in particular the limit stop of the
rear derailleur after a fall or if your SCOTT bike has toppled over.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS AFTER AN ACCIDENT” WITH
YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC
1. Check the rechargeable battery
(a-c)
. Try to remove the rechargeable bat-
tery from its mounting. If the rechargeable battery is no longer properly in its
holder or shows any damage, do not use your SCOTT pedelec any longer, at
least not in the assistance mode. Switch off the drive and the rechargeable
battery separately, if necessary. A damaged battery can lead to a short-cir-
cuit resulting in a sudden failure of the SCOTT pedelec assistance right at the
moment when you need it.
