CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR SCOTT BIKE OR SCOTT
PEDELEC
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm
your SCOTT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all compo-
nents at regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is
likely to enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants
hereby increasing the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of
the bearing races in the long term. High-pressure jets are also likely to re-
move frame and rim stickers. The electronics could be damaged in the case of
pedelecs.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet
or a bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand
has another positive side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as well as
worn or defective components at an early stage.
Check the chain for wear and relubricate after cleaning and drying (b) (see the
chapter “Bicycle chain” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this SCOTT info CD).
Wipe dry the sliding surfaces of the suspension fork (c) and the rear shock (d)
and apply special spray (e) approved by the suspension fork manufacturer.
Use an appropriate frame cleaner (f) and protection product for your frame.
DANGER!
G
Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, brake discs and
rim sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail. Never grease or
lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem,
seat post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may never again
ensure reliable clamping!
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 mainte-
nance 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 your SCOTT bike.
The intended use of your SCOTT bike includes regular servicing and the re-
placement of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads 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 sched-
ule” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
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 (a), and the necessary knowledge.
DANGER!
G
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original
spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres
that are not of identical dimension, may render your SCOTT bike unsafe. Risk of
accident!
DANGER!
H
Remove the rechargeable battery or the display before doing any work on
your SCOTT pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance, work
on your drive etc.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the risk of
injury!
CAUTION!
S
A rechargeable battery that has reached the end of its service life must
not be disposed of with normal household rubbish. Bring the rechargeable
battery to the dealer, where you buy your new one. If in doubt, ask your SCOTT
