NOTE!
I
Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer on this SCOTT info
CD carefully before removing the wheel or doing any maintenance work.
Improper operation can lead to brake failure.
Mechanical disc brakes
Functional check
The more brake pads of mechanical disc brakes wear down, the longer is the
brake lever travel. Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response
before the lever touches the handlebars (c). Make sure the brake cables are in
sound condition!
DANGER!
G
Damaged cables (d) should be replaced immediately, as they can snap. Risk
of accident!
Wear and maintenance
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at the
brake lever. Unscrew the knurled lock nut on the bolt through which the cable
enters the grip (e) and then unscrew the bolt until the lever has the desired trav-
el. Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the slot of the bolt does not face
upward or forward, as this would permit an unnecessarily high amount of water
or dirt to enter.
After readjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do not
drag when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel.
Repeated readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake calliper
change its position. This can reduce braking power and result in a complete
brake failure in an extreme case. Risk of accident!
Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake
calliper (f), though this requires a certain amount of skill. Read the instructions
of the brake manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD carefully before adjusting
the brake. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT
dealer.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines and connections for leaks while pulling on the lever
(a). Contact your SCOTT dealer immediately in the event of a brake liquid leak-
age. A leak in the brake lines can render the brake ineffective. Risk of accident!
Wear and maintenance
Hydraulic disc brakes have a mechanism which automatically compensate for
the worn down brake pads. The brake lever travel does not change.
Check the pads (b) for wear at regular intervals by following the manuals of the
respective manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Loose connections and leaky brake lines drastically impair braking power.
If you find leaks in the brake system or buckled lines, contact your SCOTT
dealer immediately!
DANGER!
g
If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs to be re-
placed regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Do not transport your SCOTT bike with saddle and handlebars upside down
– risk of brake failure. Never turn it upside down for repair works.
CAUTION!
A
Do not open the brake lines. Brake fluid that can be very unhealthy and
damaging to the paint could leak out and render the brake ineffective.
CAUTION!
a
A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking.
NOTE!
i
Only transport your SCOTT bike with wheels mounted or if dismounted with
safety locks. Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap,
when transporting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent
air from entering the system.
