GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND SERVICING
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Your SCOTT dealer will have assembled and adjusted your SCOTT bike ready for
use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your SCOTT bike needs regular
servicing (c). Have your local SCOTT dealer do the scheduled maintenance work.
This is the only way to ensure that all components function safely and reliably for
many kilometres.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours
of initial use or four to six weeks, at the latest however after three months. The
bedding-in phase typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears coming
out of adjustment, so there is every reason to have your SCOTT dealer service
the SCOTT bike at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable. Therefore,
remember to make an appointment with your SCOTT dealer to have your new
SCOTT bike inspected. This first service is very important for both functioning and
durability of your SCOTT bike.
It is advisable to have your SCOTT bike serviced regularly by your SCOTT dealer
after the bedding-in phase, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule. If you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces or off-road, it will require
correspondingly shorter service periods (see SCOTT service plan). The off-season
during the winter months is a very good time to take your SCOTT bike to your
SCOTT dealer for the annual inspection, as they will have plenty of time for you
and for servicing.
The intended use of your SCOTT bike includes regular servicing and the replace-
ment of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads (d) or bowden and brake
cables. This will ensure the safe functioning and therefore has an influence on the
liability for material defects and the warranty.
For more information see the chapter “SCOTT service and maintenance schedule”
in this SCOTT short manual as well as in your detailed SCOTT owner’s manual and
in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the enclosed SCOTT info CD.
WARNING: Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your SCOTT dealer.
If you have your bike serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk
that parts of your SCOTT bike will fail. Risk of accident! When working on your
SCOTT bike; restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the suitable tools, e.g.
a torque wrench (e), and the necessary knowledge.
WARNING: If carbon components on your SCOTT bike produce any
creaking or cracking noises or show any external sign of damage, such as
gouges, cracks, dents, discolorations etc., do not use the SCOTT bike any
longer. Contact your SCOTT dealer immediately; he will check the component
thoroughly.
WARNING: Do not combine carbon handlebars with bar ends or an aero
bar, unless they are specifically approved. Do not shorten carbon handlebars
or clamp the brake levers and shifters more in the middle than indicated or
needed. Risk of breakage!
WARNING: Make sure all carbon clamping areas are absolutely free of
grease and other lubricants! Grease will penetrate the surface of the carbon
material, thereby reducing the coefficient of friction. This will no longer provide
reliable clamping within the prescribed torque values. Once greased, carbon
components may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use a special carbon
assembly paste instead as offered by various manufacturers.
CAUTION: Most clamps of bike carrier systems are potential sources of
damage to large-diameter frame tubes! As a result thereof carbon frames can
fail during use without previous warning. Suitable, special-purpose models are,
however, available in the car accessory trade. Inform yourself there or ask your
SCOTT dealer for advice.
CAUTION: Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in the holding jaws
of a workstand (a)! The components may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy
(aluminium) seat post instead and use it to clamp the frame, or choose a work
stand that holds the frame at three points inside the frame triangle or which
clamps the fork and bottom bracket shell.
CAUTION: Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the head tube
and the underside of the down tube) against rubbing cables or stone chips with
special pads (b) your SCOTT dealer keeps for sale.
