12 Peeles Peeles (peal eletri yles) or EPCs (Eletrially Power ssiste Cyles) are biyles with an auxiliary motor that only swithes on when you move the peals. When you stop pealling, the motor swithes off. riving liene is not require for riing a SCOTT peele (a+b), if the motor assistane swithes off automatially at a spee of 25 kmh. You o not nee an operating liene an nee not insure the peele either. ll regulations that apply to SCOTT bikes, also apply to SCOTT peeles, i.e. using yle paths is not ompulsory. Wearing a helmet is reommene, but not ompulsory. Please make sure you o not onfuse your SCOTT peele with a SCOTT spee peele (see Spee peeles ). Most SCOTT peeles are esigne for yling exlusively on lanes an roas with a smooth surfae. Only use trails that are allowe for biyles. For off-roa use only SCOTT off-roa peeles are suitable. Using SCOTT trekking peeles off-roa an result in rashes with unforeseeable onsequenes. Some SCOTT peeles have a pushing ai () whih provies assistane uring pushing, even without pealling, up to a spee of 6 kmh. Your SCOTT peele is esigne for a maximum overall weight, inluing rier, luggage an SCOTT peele. The permissible overall weight is 130 kg / 286 lbs. Spee peeles Spee peeles are biyles with an auxiliary motor () whih provies assistane to the rier even beyon a spee of 25 kmh, as long as you ontinue pealling. The peal-assist stops at a spee of 45 kmh. Without pealling a SCOTT spee peele provies assistane to a maximum spee of 20 kmh. SCOTT spee peeles are regare as motor vehiles, have an operating liene or EU type approval an are therefore subjet to strit regulations relating to the replaement of omponents an to hanges. Moifiations without approval/type approval result in an expiration of the operating liene, i.e. the SCOTT peele must no longer be use on publi roas. Please hek in the ountry where you use your SCOTT spee peele whether you require a mope liene or a riving lienor motor vehiles. You an obtain a mope liene if you are age 15 or over. nform yourself at your riving liene ageny. nform yourself in the ountry where you use your SCOTT spee peele about the regulations on the use of spee peeles on yle lanes in built-up areas, on lanes whih are marke with a roa sign allowing aess for mopes, on yling one-way streets in the opposite iretion, even when they are allowe to bikes, an on the use of roas whih are lose for motor vehiles, motor yles an mopes. nform yourself in the ountry where you use your SCOTT spee peele whether wearing a helmet (e) is ompulsory. lso rea the hapter Useful fats for riing a SCOTT spee peele.

34 SUSPENSON ON SCOTT BKES LOSSRY Suspension fork Biylork (a) absorbing an amping shoks through moving omponents. The most ommon among thesorks are the telesopi suspension forks. What is esignate as stanhion tubes are the thinner tubes press fitte or srewe to thork rown of a telesopi fork. What is esignate as lower leg are the lower tubes in whih the stanhion tubes slie in. Rear shok The rear shok (b) is the element whih ombines the spring as well as the amping in the rear frame of a full-suspension bike. Often the rear shok is also referre to as shok absorber. Spring rate or harness Thore that is require to ompress the spring by a ertain suspension travel measure in Newton per millimetre (N/mm) or poun per inh (lbs/in). higher spring rate requires mororor the travel. With air springs a higher rate means a higher pressure. Spring preloa n the ase of the wiesprea air suspension systems, the air pressure in thork () is ruial for the spring rate an the spring preloa. Observe your manufaturer s reommenations. Within a ertain range a preloa an be applie to the oil springs. Then the suspension only reats when a greater loa is applie. The spring rate remains, however, unaltere. Heavier riers annot ompensate a too soft spring rate with a higher initial tension. Travel ajust n most ase the suspension travel of the suspension fork is reue by turning a knob. There are somorks where the reution is only realize after a eep spring ompression. n the ase of full suspension rear frames this is typially one by srewing off segments on whih the rear shok is mounte or by loosing or reajusting srews.

35 FRONT SUSPENSON Most of the SCOTT mountain bikes (a) an SCOTT peeles (b) have suspension forks. This feature gives you better ontrol of your SCOTT bike when riing ross-ountry or on rough roa surfaes an ensures more groun ontat for the tyre. t notieably reues the strain on you an your biyle ause by the mehanial shoks from the terrain. Suspension forks iffer in their types of spring elements an amping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring elements or less often with oil springs. Damping is usually one by oil. Suspension fork manufaturers normally inlue instrutions with their eliveries. Rea them arefully before hanging any settings or oing any maintenane work on your suspension fork. You an fin the instrution of the suspension fork manufaturer on this SCOTT info CD. For more information see the suspension glossary heaing this hapter. justing the spring rate To work perfetly, the suspension fork has to be ajuste to the weight of the rier, the sitting posture an the intene use. Be sure to have this ajustment arrie out by your SCOTT ealer at the time of elivery. Note in general that the suspension fork must give in a little even when you are just sitting on the bike this is the so-alle negative suspension travel or sag (). When thront wheel passes through a epression in the groun, the spring extens an the suspension fork will smooth out the uneven surfae. f the air pressure or the spring preloa is too high, this effet is lost beause the suspension fork is alreay fully extene. This means that an important omfort an safety fator is lost if the tyre briefly loses ontat with the groun. n general, ross-ountry an marathon raers prefer a shorter negative suspension travel (sag), whereas freeriers or ownhillers riing often in rough terrain prefer a longer one.. n the ase of SCOTT ross-ountry an SCOTT marathon bikes the suspension fork shoul yiel by % of the maximum suspension travel, in the ase of SCOTT all mountain, SCOTT enuro an SCOTT freerie bikes by %. To measure the travel you an use the rubber ring mainly loate on the thinner, plunging tube of the suspension fork. f there is no rubber ring, tie up a able tie aroun one of the stanhion tubes. Make sure it is not too tight, you shoul still be able to move it, it shoul however not slip by itself. Put on your usual riing lothing (inluing if neessary a pake ruksak), sit on your bike an bring yourself into the usual riing position. Lean against a fixe objet (railings, wall et.) an make sure you o not fall over. sk a helper to move the rubber ring or the able tie ownwars against the ust seal at the lower leg. et off your SCOTT bike so that thork oes not ompress any more. The istane between the rubber ring/able tie an the wiper is the negative suspension travel, or sag (). Compare it with the total suspension travel (as speifie by the manufaturer) to etermine whether the suspension shoul be set to be harer or softer. With pneumati suspension forks the spring rate is set by the air pressure in thork. The pressure must be set before thirst rie by means of a speial high-pressure pump with pressure gauge (e) an moifie later as require ue to hanges in the weight of the rier an/or loa. Note the appropriate setting values an hek them subsequently at regular intervals. lways follow the reommenations of the manufaturer an never exee the maximum air pressuror the suspension fork. lways make a test rie after eah hange to the settings. n the ase of most suspension forks with oil springs a preloa an be applie to the springs within tight limits by turning a knob at the top of thork rown (f). f that is not possible an the esire negative suspension travel ( sag ) annot be set, the oil springs must be replae by harer or softer moels. The replaement is a job for the SCOTT ealer. When replaing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark an, to be on the safe sie, original spare parts.

Chek afterwars the position of the rubber ring/able tie. ts istanrom the wiper is the maximum suspension travel that you have use. f the rubber o-ring/able tie has move a few millimetres only, your rear shok is too firm. Reue the air pressure of air sprung forks or the initial spring tension of oil springs. f that brings no improvement, have the springs replae. f the rubber ring/able tie has shifte over the entire length of the tube () or if thork auibly bottoms out an hits the top repeately when riing on ba roas, the setting of the springs is too soft. n the ase of air-suspension forks the pressure must be inrease. n the ase of steel oils, have them replae by your SCOTT ealer. Suspension forks are esigne in a way to absorb shoks. f thork is too rigi an jamme, the terrain-inue shoks pass iretly into thrame without any amping. Thrame is normally not esigne to withstan suh unampe stresses. f your suspension has a lokout mehanism, o not ativate the lokout funtion when riing in rough terrain, but only when riing over smooth terrain (roas, fiel traks). The suspension fork shoul be set up an ajuste in a way that it oes not reah the en of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme ases. spring rate whih is too soft (air pressure is too low) an usually be hear or felt as a lunk type noise. This noise is ause by the suen omplete ompression of the suspension fork as it reahes bottom out. f the suspension fork frequently reahes bottom out, it will fail over time, an so will thrame. n ase of inquiries, ontat your SCOTT ealer or follow the respetive instrutions in the manual of the suspension fork manufaturer on this SCOTT info CD. f you havoun the esire setting, write own the ieal inflation pressure for later heks. Setting the amping The amping is ajuste by valves insie. When the oil is fore through these valves this slows own the spee with whih the suspension fork is extene or ompresse an prevents the suspension bouning after hitting an obstale. n this way it is possible to optimise the biyle s reation to obstales. Suspension forks with ajustable reboun amping have an ajusting knob (mostly re) to slow own or aelerate the reboun movement (e). f a seon (mostly blue) knob is available, the ompression spee an be set an/or the lokout funtion an be ativate. Start the setting with a ompletely open amping (reboun an ompression on - ). Take hol of the hanlebars with both hans an pull thront brake. Lean with your entire weight on thork an remove your weight immeiately. Thork will extrat at the same spee as you mae it ompress. Turn the re ajusting knob in the iretion + (f) until you hear a lik. Compress thork one again with thront wheel brake pulle an then remove the weight abruptly one again. You will note that thork extens more slowly. Repeat the ompression an the release by ontinuously turning the reboun amping. You will get a feeling for the working of the reboun amping. The typial setting of the reboun amping is an extension of the suspension omponents at reue spee, however not at a sluggish pae. reboun movement at reue spee ening up in a sluggish movement is efinitely a too high amping. Rie over an obstale (e.g. own a kerb) subsequently an turn the reboun amping in small steps towars the + -setting. You havoun the proper reboun setting when the suspension fork oes not yle more than one. lways hek a hange ajustment uring a test rie in the terrain. Some suspension forks have a ompression amping in aition. The typial ompression amping, or on some suspension forks the high-spee ompression amping, slows own the ompression when riing at high spee over an obstale. high ompression spee woul possibly make thork bottom out. 70 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 71

Do not turn any srews by using tools in the vague hope of ajusting them somehow. You oul be loosening thastening mehanism, thus provoking an aient. Normally, the ajustment evies are operate with thingers an are marke by all manufaturers with a sale or with + (for stronger amping/ harer suspension) an - signs (). too strong amping (reboun amping) of thork an result in that that thork no longer extens when riing over a quik series of obstales. Risk of falling! When mounting a new front tyre, make sure there is enough learane between tyre an fork rown as thork ompresses entirely. f neessary, eflate the suspension fork ompletely an press the hanlebars forefully ownwar to hek this. Thront wheel an get jamme. Risk of falling! Do not rie your biyle, if the suspension fork bottoms out. This oul amage the suspension fork itself as well as thrame. The spring rate shoul always be ajuste to the weight of the rier an the luggage as well as to the riing onitions. n ase of inquiries, ontat your SCOTT ealer or follow the respetive instrutions in the manual of the suspension fork manufaturer on this SCOTT info CD. Lokout When taking long uphill ries involving har pealling out of the sale, a suspension fork is typially bobbing. t is avisable to lok the amping, if the suspension fork has a lokout mehanism (+e). For ownhill ries on uneven groun the lokout mehanism must be open stringently. Many SCOTT hartail bikes have a lokout lever at the hanlebars. Some SCOTT full-suspension bikes aritte with the TWNLOC system. The TWNLOC offers three setting options (f): 1. Climb moe: The shok is (nearly) loke. This setting allows you omfortable limbing on firm grouns, e.g. tarre roas, without loosing any power into suspension. Simultaneously, low-off system prevents the shok from being amage in ase the rier i not open the system while rossing obstales. 2. Tration/Riing moe: The ompression spee of the shok will be reue giving a firmer pealling platform. This results in limbing without bobbing an offers still optimum tration of the rear wheel. For rie: by aing a platform to the ompression amping system the shok will not boune while staning on the peals. 3. Desent moe: n this moe both suspension elements (suspension fork an rear shok) are open, i.e. the entire suspension travel is at your isposal. 72 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 73

38 Do not atuate the lokout funtion when riing over rough terrain, but only when riing over smooth terrain (roas or fiel traks). Maintenane Suspension forks are omponents of sophistiate esign that require regular maintenane an are. This has le almost all suspension fork manufaturers to establish servie entres where you an have your forks thoroughly heke an overhaule at regular intervals aoring to use, e.g. one a year. Thollowing routines are essential for maintenane: 1. Make sure the sliing surfaes of the stanhion tubes an the wiper rings are absolutely lean. 2. Clean the suspension fork, if it is soile, iretly after the rie with plenty of water an a soft sponge (a). 3. fter washing your bike, spray the stanhion tubes of the suspension fork with a little grease spray (b) approve by the manufaturer or apply a very thin film of hyrauli oil. Compress thork several times an wipe off exess lubriant with a lean rag before you set off for your next rie. Suspension forks are onstantly being spraye with water an irt from the front wheel. Clean them with lots of water an a rag after every rie. Be sure to have your suspension fork heke by a servie entre of the rear shok manufaturer one a year at least. More information on ajusting an maintenane is available on the internet at RER SUSPENSON Full suspension SCOTT bikes are not only equippe with a suspension fork but also with movable rear frame () whih are sprung an ampe by a rear shok.

Lokout When taking long uphill ries involving har pealling out of the sale, a rear frame is typially bobbing. t is avisable to lok the amping, if the rear shok has a lokout mehanism (a). For ownhill ries on uneven groun the lokout mehanism must be open stringently. Many SCOTT hartail bikes have a lokout lever at the hanlebars. Some SCOTT full-suspension bikes aritte with the TWNLOC system. The TWNLOC offers three setting options (b): 1. Climb moe: The shok is (nearly) loke. This setting allows you omfortable limbing on firm grouns, e.g. tarre roas, without loosing any power into suspension. Simultaneously, low-off system prevents the shok from being amage in ase the rier i not open the system while rossing obstales. 2. Tration/Riing moe: For tration: the travel of the shok will be reue to aroun 80%, the harateristi of the air spring gets harer, the S is shorter an the geometry steeper. This results in limbing without bobbing an offers still optimum tration of the rear wheel. For rie: By aing a platform to the ompression amping system the shok will not boune while staning on the peals. Maintenane Suspension forks an rear frames () are omponents of sophistiate esign that require regular maintenane an are. This has le almost all rear shok manufaturers to establish servie entres where you an have your rear shoks repaire an heke at regular intervals aoring to use, e.g. one a year. Thollowing routines are essential for maintenane: 1. Make sure the sliing surfaes of the piston ro are lean. 2. Clean the rear shok () an the rear frame, in partiular the bearings, when they are irty by using plenty of water an a soft sponge iretly after a rie. 3. fter having washe your SCOTT bike, apply a little grease spray approve by the manufaturers on the piston ro of the rear shok an the bearings (e) or apply a very thin layer of hyrauli oil. Compress the rear frame several times an wipe off exess lubriant with a lean rag before you set off for your next rie. Use the lubriant reommene by the manufaturer. 4. Do not use a steam jet or aggressive leaning agents for leaning! sk your SCOTT ealer for an appropriate leaning agent. 5. n the ase of rear shoks with steel oils (f) you shoul lean the springs an the piston ro unerneath at regular intervals an grease the piston ro with spray approve by the manufaturer. Some rear shok manufaturers supply speial greasor maintenane. Stritly observe the reommenations of the manufaturers. This is a job for the rear shok servie entre. 6. Rear shoks with air suspension must be heke regularly for air pressure, sine the pressure esapes over time. 3. Desent moe: n this moe both suspension elements (suspension fork an rear shok) are open, i.e. the entire suspension travel is at your isposal. Do not atuate the lokout funtion when riing over rough terrain, but only when riing over smooth terrain (roas or fiel traks). 7.

To hek whether the rear shok has play, plae own the rear wheel gently an lift it again subsequently. Listen for rattling noises. f there is play, have it repaire by your SCOTT ealer immeiately. Suspension elements are of sophistiate esign. The maintenane routines an above all the isassembly of the suspension elements are jobs best left to your SCOTT ealer or the rear shok servie entre. Rear shoks are onstantly being spraye with water an irt from the rear wheel. Clean them with lots of water an a rag after every rie (b). Be sure to have your rear shok heke by a servie entre of the rear shok manufaturer one a year at least.

BRKES Brakes () are use for ajusting one s spee to the surrouning terrain an traffi. n an emergeny situation, the brakes must bring your SCOTT bike to a halt as quikly as possible. n the event of suh emergeny brakings, the rier s weight shifts forwar abruptly, thus reuing the loa on the rear wheel. The rate of eeleration is primarily limite by the anger of the rear wheel losing ontat with the groun (), resulting in an overturning of the SCOTT bike an, seonly, by the grip of the tyres on the roa. Suh a problem beomes partiularly aute when riing ownhill. Therefore, in ase of an emergeny braking you shoul try to shift your weight towars the rear an the groun as far as possible. tuate both brakes simultaneously (e) an bear in min that, ue to the weight transfer, thront brakes an generate a far better braking effet on a surfae with goo grip. The braking onitions on unpave surfaes an when it is wet or irty iffer, i.e. overbraking thront wheel an make the wheel slip away. Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for thirst time. Pratise braking on ifferent kins of surfaes in an area free of traffi. Wet weather reues the braking power. tuate the brakes arefully when riing on wet or slippery groun, as the tyres an easily slip away. Therefore, reue your spee when riing in suh onitions. There are various types of brake systems that may be subjet to thollowing problems: Too long braking or brake ragging an result in an overheating of the rim brakes (f). This an amage the inner tube or make the tyre slip on the rim ausing a suen loss of air whih oul lea to a serious aient in the proess. 84 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 85

When riing ownhill, get use to braking har an then releasing the brake again (b), whenever the roa surfae an the situation allows for it. f you are in oubt about the braking ation, stop an let the brake system ool own. The assignment of brake lever to brake alliper an vary, e.g. left lever ats on front brake. Have a look at the SCOTT bike ar an hek whether the brake lever of thront brake is on the sie you are use to (right or left). f it is not, ask your SCOTT ealer to swith the brake levers before you set off for the first time. Be areful while getting use to the brakes. Pratise emergeny stops in a plae lear of traffi until you are omfortable ontrolling your SCOTT bike. This an save you from having aients in roa traffi. Wet weather reues the braking effet an the roa grip of the tyres. Be aware of longer stopping istanes when riing in the rain, reue your spee an atuate the brakes arefully. Ensure that braking surfaes an brake pas are absolutely free of wax, grease an oil. Risk of aient! When replaing any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark an, to be on the safe sie, original spare parts (). Your SCOTT ealer will be please to help you. Be sure to rea the manuals of the brake manufaturers on this SCOTT info CD before you start to reajust or to servie the brake or before oing any work whatsoever. RM BRKES V-Brakes an antilever brakes Operation an wear V-brake an antilever brake esigns () have two brake arms mounte separately on either sie of the rim. When atuating the brake lever, both arms are presse together by the able, the pas touhing the rim. Thrition generate by braking auses wear to the brake pas as well as to the rims. Frequent ries in the rain an irt an over hilly terrain an aelerate wear on both braking surfaes. Some rims are provie with wear iniators, e.g. grooves or irular inentations. f the rim is worn own to the point where the grooves or inentations are no longer visible, they nee to be replae. One the abrasion of the rim has reahe a ertain ritial point, the rim may break uner the tyre pressure. This an make the wheel jam or the inner tube burst, both of whih an ause an aient. Risk of falling! Funtional hek Chek whether the brake pas are aurately aligne with the rims an still suffiiently thik. You an juge the wear of the brake pas by the appearane of grooves. f the pas are worn own to the bottom of the grooves (e), it is time to replae them. Be sure to observe the appropriate instrutions of the respetive manufaturer. See your SCOTT ealer an ask them to examine the remaining thikness of the rims when you have worn through your seon set of brake pas at the latest. Your SCOTT ealer has speial measuring evies for etermining the remaining thikness of the rims. The brake pas must hit the rim simultaneously, first touhing it with thront portion of their surfae. t the moment of first ontat the rear portion of the pas shoul be a millimetre away from the braking surfae.

Make absolutely sure you annot pull the brake lever all the way to the hanlebar grip. With an unapplie brake the brake pas shoul not be too lose to the rim sies, otherwise they oul rag along the rim uring riing. Before making this ajustment, observe the notes in the hapter Brake lever reah ajustment on SCOTT mountain bikes. To reajust the brakes, unsrew the knurle lok ring loate at the point where the brake able enters the brake lever on the hanlebars (). Unsrew the knurle, slotte ajusting bolt by a few turns. This reues three travel of the brake lever. Keeping the ajusting bolt firm, tighten the lok ring against the brake lever unit. This prevents the ajusting bolt from oming loose by itself. Ensure that the slot of the bolt faes neither forwar nor upwar, as this woul permit water or irt to enter more easily. lways test the brakes funtion when stationary after ajusting them an make sure the brake pas engagully with the rim without touhing the tyre, when you pull them har. DSC BRKES Operation an wear The most striking feature of is brakes is their outstaning braking effet. They respon a lot faster in wet onitions than rim brakes o an ahieve their normal high braking power within a very short time. They require little maintenane an o not wear own the rims as rim brakes o. Dis brakes onsist of the brake alliper (), the rotor (e), the brake lines (hyrauli) or ables (mehanial) as well as the brake lever unit (f). tuating the brake lever ompresses the hyrauli pistons through hyrauli pressure or mehanially, pushing the brake pas against the rotor. Thrition generate by braking auses wear to the brake pas as well as to the rotors. Frequent ries in the rain an irt an over hilly terrain an aelerate wear on both braking surfaes.

52 CHN MNTENNCE lthough the hain is one of the wearing omponents of your SCOTT bike, there are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the hain is lubriate regularly, espeially after riing in the rain. Try to only use gears whih run the hain in the straightest line (a+b) between the sprokets an hainrings an get into the habit of high aene pealling. Chains on mountain bikes with erailleur gears are worn out after approx. 800 to 2,000 km or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily strethe hains impair the operation of erailleur gears. Cyling with a worn-out hain also aelerates the wear of the sprokets an hainrings. Replaing these omponents is relatively expensive ompare with the osts of a new hain. t is therefore avisable to hek the onition of the hain at regular intervals.

The tyre is mounte onto the rim so that it enases the tube in the ase of the most ommon system, i.e. the linher or foling tyres.

53 NOTES ON TYRES, NNER TUBES, RM TPE, NFLTON PRESSURE The tyres shoul provie grip an tration. t the same time they shoul run smooth an enhane the rier s omfort by absorbing small shoks. Both the rolling frition an the grip epen on the nature of the tyre arass, the rubber ompoun an the tyre trea. Your SCOTT ealer will be please to help you hoosrom the numerous types of tyres (a). f you want to mount a new tyre, you nee to observe the sizing system an the atual size of the ol tyre. The latter is speifie in two ifferent units on the sie of the tyre. One of the sizes is the stanarise size in millimetres whih is more preise, e.g. the number sequene (b) means that the tyre is 57 mm wie when fully inflate an has an inner tyre iameter of 622 millimetres. The other size is iniate in inhes (e.g. 29x2.25 ). Tyres must be inflate to the proper inflation pressure () to provie an optimal ompromise between smooth running an riing omfort. Properly inflate tyres are also more resistant to puntures. n insuffiiently inflate tyre an easily get pinhe ( snakebite ) when it goes over a sharp kerb. The air pressure reommene by the manufaturer is given on the sie of the tyre or on the type label (). The lower of the two pressure speifiations makes for better ushioning for lightweight riers an is therefore best for yling on a rough surfae. Rolling resistane on level groun ereases with growing pressure, but so oes omfort. Highly inflate tyres are therefore most suitable for heavy riers an for riing on tarre roas. Therefore, ajust the pressure to your weight an your riing habits. nflation pressure is often given in the ol system of units, i.e. in psi (pouns per square inh). The table gives the most ommon pressure values in terms of both systems (e). Clinher an foling tyres an rim alone are not able to hol the air. Therefore, an inner tube has to be plae insie the tyre to retain the air pressure. Rims of linher an foling tyres require in general a high-value rim tape over the omplete with of the rim base. n the ase of rim brakes, the rim tape protets the inner tubrom the braking heat whih oul make the tyre burst. Replae tyres with a worn trea or with brittle or fraye sies. Dampness an irt penetrating the tyre an ause amage to its inner struture. The tube might burst. Risk of falling! f you mount a new tyre with another size than the stanar tyre mounte, it might be possible that the learane between thront of your shoe an the wheel will be reue when you rie at reue spee. lso observe the spae between fork an frame. Risk of aient! Treat your tyres with are. lways rie your bike with the presribe tyre pressure (f) an hek the pressure at regular intervals, at least one a week. Riing with too low or too high air pressure may make the tyre ome off the rim or burst. Clinher an foling tyres allowing an inflation pressure of five bars or more have to be mounte on hook bea rims, ientifiable by the esignation C. H Observe the maximum pressure value of the rim. The pressure is epenent on the tyre with. You an fin the values in the manuals of the rim or wheel manufaturer on this SCOTT info CD.

54 VLVES There are two valve types in general use on SCOTT mountain bikes: 1. Slaveran or Presta valve (a): This valve is nowaays use on almost all types of bikes. t is esigne to withstan extremely high pressures. 2. Shraer or merian valve (b): This is an aapte ar tyre valve. ll valve types ome with a plasti ap to protet them from irt. The Shraer valve an be inflate with a suitable pump iretly after removing the protetive ap. With Presta valves you first have to uno the small knurle nut a little an epress it arefully until air starts to esape. Chek the nut is tightene an seate in its stem, otherwise air may slowly leak out. Do not forget to tighten the valve by han nut after inflating. Tyres with Shraer valves an onveniently be inflate at ar filling stations with a ompresse air ispenser. The same applies to Presta valves fitte with a speial aapter. ompresse air ispenser must be use very arefully as you may otherwise overinflate the tyre an make it burst. To let out air, press the neele in the entre of the Shraer valve or the knurle nut of the Presta valve (). t an be har to inflate tyres to the neessary pressure by using han pumps. t is muh easier with a trak pump equippe with a pressure gauge (). RM TRUENESS ND SPOKE TENSON For the true running of the wheel (e) it is imperative that the tension exerte by the spokes is istribute evenly aroun the rim. f the tension of a single spoke hanges, e.g. as a result of riing fast over a kerb or of a loose nipple, the tensile fores ating on the rim beome unbalane an the wheel will no longer run true. Thuntioning of the SCOTT bike may even be impaire before you notie the wobbling appearane of a wheel that has gone out of true. With rim brakes the sies of the rims also serve as braking surfaes. n untrue wheel an impair your braking effet. t is therefore avisable to hek the wheels for trueness from time to time. For this purpose lift the wheel off the groun an spin it with your han. Wath the gap between the rim an the brake pas. f the gap varies by one millimetre or more, you shoul ask your SCOTT ealer to true up the wheel (f). Do not rie with untrue wheels. n the ase of extreme sie-to-sie wobbles, the brake pas of rim brakes an miss the rim an get aught in the spokes! This normally instantly jams the wheel an throws you off your biyle. Loose spokes must be tightene at one. Otherwise the loa on the other spokes an the rim will inrease.

Therefore, o not mount your SCOTT frame on a mounting arrier with inappropriate lamps. Carbon omponents have, like all lightweight bike omponents, a limite servie life. For this reason, have the stem an the hanlebars heke at regular intervals (e.g. every three years), even if they have not experiene any unue stress, suh as an aient. 118 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 119

61 When you inten to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your ar, be sure to protet the bike or the arbon frame an omponents (a). Blankets, foam tubes or the like are a suitable paing to protet the sensitive material from amage. Do not plae any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your ar. lways park your SCOTT bike arefully an make sure it oes not topple over. Carbon frames an omponents may alreay sustain amage by simply toppling over an thereby hitting e.g. a sharp ege. f arbon omponents on your SCOTT bike proue any reaking or raking noises or show any external sign of amage, suh as gouges, raks, ents, isolorations et., o not use the SCOTT bike any longer. Contat your SCOTT ealer immeiately; he will hek the omponent thoroughly. Do not ombine arbon hanlebars with bar ens, unless they have been speifially approve. Do not shorten arbon hanlebars or lamp the brake levers an shifters more in the mile than iniate or neee. Risk of breakage! Make sure all arbon lamping areas are absolutely free of grease an other lubriants! rease will penetrate the surfae of the arbon material, thereby reuing the oeffiient of frition. This will no longer provie reliable lamping within the presribe torque values. One grease, arbon omponents may never again ensure reliable lamping! Use a speial arbon assembly paste (b) instea as offere by various manufaturers. Most lamps of biyle arrier systems are potential soures of amage to large-iameter frame tubes ()! s a result thereof arbon frames an fail uring use without previous warning. However, there are speial-purpose moels whih are suitable, available in the ar aessory trae. nform yourself there or ask your SCOTT ealer for avie. Do not lamp a arbon frame or seat post in the holing jaws of a workstan! The omponents may sustain amage. Mount a stury (aluminium) seat post () instea an use it to lamp thrame, or hoose a work stan that hols thrame at three points insie thrame triangle or that lamps thork an bottom braket shell. Protet the expose areas of your arbon frame (e.g. the hea tube an the unersie of the own tube) against rubbing ables or stone hips with speial pas (e) your SCOTT ealer keeps for sale. Carbon fibre omponents are partiularly vulnerable to amage ause by exessive lamping fore. Carbon assembly paste reates extra frition between two surfaes, allowing the neessary torque valuor lamping to be reue by up to 30 %. This is espeially useful in the lamping areas of hanlebars an stem, steerer tube an stem an seat post an stem, i.e. three areas where too muh lamping fore an amage either omponent, ausing omponent failure or voiing the warranty. By reuing the lamping fore, arbon assembly paste relieves stress on sensitive arbon surfaes, preventing amage to fibres or the raking of the arbon substruture. THE HEDSET ON THE SCOTT BKE The heaset (f) onnets thork to thrame, but allows it to movreely. t must turn with virtually no resistane, if the SCOTT bike is to run straight, stabilising itself as it travels. Shoks ause by uneven roa surfaes expose the heaset to onsierable levels of stress. n this way it an beome loose an go out of orret ajustment. 120 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 121

62 Riing the biyle with a loose heaset inreases the stress on fork an bearings. This an lea to amage to thork. Risk of falling! Cheking an reajusting Chek the heaset for play by plaing your fingers aroun the upper heaset up (a). Bring your weight to bear on the sale, pull thront brakes with your other han an push the SCOTT bikirmly bak an forth with the wheel remaining on the groun. f the bearing has play, you will feel the upper hea tube rae moving in jerks relative to the lower hea tube rae - visible as a small gap in between the hea tube raes. To hek whether the heaset runs smoothly, lift thrame up until thront wheel no longer touhes the groun. The hanlebars shoul turn from far left to far right without feeling roughness or tightness at any point. With a gentle tap on the hanlebars (b) thork shoul turn easily from the mile position. f you fae any problems uring the test, ontat your SCOTT ealer. justing the heaset requires a ertain amount of experiene an shoul therefore be left to your SCOTT ealer. THREDLESS HEDSET HEDSET The istint feature of this system is that the stem oes not sit within thork steerer tube, but rather slips over thork steerer tube, whih in this ase is threaless. The stem is thus an important part of the heaset, as the stem lamping fixes the ajustment. You generally only nee one or two llen keys an a torque wrenh to ajust an heaset. Release the lamping bolt(s) loate on the sie of the stem by one to two omplete turns (). ently tighten the ountersunk ajusting bolt on top a little, e.g. by a quarter turn (), by using an llen key. Realign the stem to ensure that the hanlebars are at right angle to the wheel. Make sure thront wheel is in line with the top tube an the stem. Tighten the lamping bolts of the stem. Use a torque wrenh an never exee the maximum torque values! You will fin the presribe values in the hapter Reommene torque settings for your SCOTT bike, iretly on the omponents an/or in the manuals of the omponent manufaturers on this SCOTT info CD. Chek the heaset for play as esribe above (a). Do not overtighten the heaset. Risk of heaset failure. Bear in min that by overtightening the bolts the stem an rush the steerer tube. n partiular forks with arbon steerer tubes are highly sensitive to overtightening the steerer tube lamping at the stem. Risk of breakage! Make sure the lamping area is absolutely free of grease when any of the lamping faes is mae of arbon. f neessary, use arbon assembly paste in the lamping areas to ensure maximum lamping. Chek the seure seat of the stem by taking thront wheel between your legs an trying to turn the hanlebars an stem relative to the wheel (e). loose stem an ause an aient. Never hange the preloaing mehanism in the insie of thork steerer tube. Never install a star nut in arbon fork steerer tubes (f). Do not overtighten the upper bolt, it only serves to ajust the heaset play. f you o not suee in ajusting the heaset, this an have several reasons. f you are not absolutely sure, ask your SCOTT ealer for help. 122 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 123

70 PEDLS ND SHOES Cyling shoes (a) shoul be mae of soli material to proviirm support for your feet. n aition, they shoul have a stiff sole so that the peal annot press through. The sole shoul not be too wie in the area of the heels, as the rear stays or the rank will otherwise get in the way of your pealling. This will prevent your feet from assuming a natural position when pealling an may ause knee pain in the long run. Your SCOTT ealer has a wie range of shoes available an will be please to avise you. Speial yling shoes are obligatory, if your SCOTT bike is equippe with lipless peals. With these shoes leats arixe to the sole. They give you a firm onnetion between shoe an peal an allow epening on the moel an at least aeptable walking position. The main avantage is that these lipless peals (b+) prevent your feet from slipping off when pealling fast. They enable you not only to push but also to pull the peals. This makes your pealling more smooth an inreases the power transmission ompare to normal peals. The usual way to engage with the peal is to turn it from the lowest position of the rank to the horizontal using the tip of the leat an push own on the bak of it. Normally, the shoe engages with the peal with a lik whih you will hear an feel learly. The releasore of lipless peals is ajuste by means of an llen key (). t the beginning the setting shoul allow an easy release. One you have more pratie, you an tighten the setting. f there are any reaking or squeaking noises, whih our, some grease will solve the problem in most ases. These noises as well as lateral play of the shoe on the peal an, however, also be signs of wear. Chek the leats at regular intervals. Make sure thastening bolts of the leats are properly tightene, as you will fin it almost impossible to isengage your shorom the peal if the leat is loose. Risk of falling! Taking up the peals, engaging an isengaging the shoes shoul first be pratise when stationary. Later on you an refine your tehnique in a plae lear of traffi. Only use lipless peals allowing you to engage an isengage smoothly (e). efetive peal or aly worn leat an make the shoe isengage from the peal. Or unlipping the shorom the peal is sometimes very iffiult or even impossible. n both ases there is the anger of a fall! Make sure that the peals an shoe soles are always lear of mu an other foreign boies an grease the lok-in mehanism with lubriant at regular intervals.

Nevertheless, your SCOTT bike nees regular serviing (f). Have your loal SCOTT ealer o the sheule maintenane work. This is the only way to ensure that all omponents funtion safely an reliably for many kilometres. The bike will be uor its first servie 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 being-in phase typially involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears oming out of ajustment, so there is every reason to have your SCOTT ealer servie the SCOTT bike at this stage. This being-in proess is unavoiable. Therefore, remember to make an appointment with your SCOTT ealer to have your new SCOTT bike inspete. This first servie is very important for both funtioning an urability of your SCOTT bike. The motor, the rehargeable battery an the ontrol element an/or isplay are mainly maintenanree, exept for the battery harging whih is neessary regularly. 148 ENLSH ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC MOUNTN BKE ND MOUNTN BKE-PEDELEC ORNL OPERTN NSTRUCTONS 2017 ENLSH 149

The off-season uring the winter months is a very goo time to take your SCOTT bike to your SCOTT ealer for the annual inspetion, as they will have plenty of timor you an for serviing your SCOTT bike. The intene use of your SCOTT bike inlues regular serviing an the replaement of worn out parts in time, e.g. hains, brake pas or Bowen an brake ables. This will ensure the safuntioning an therefore has an influene on the liability for material efets an the warranty. For more information see the hapter SCOTT servie an maintenane sheule an the manuals of the omponent manufaturers on this SCOTT info CD. Serviing an repairs are jobs best left to your SCOTT ealer. f you have your bike servie by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that parts of your SCOTT bike will fail. Risk of aient! When working on your SCOTT bike; restrit yourself to jobs for whih you have the suitable tools, e.g. a torque wrenh (a), an the neessary knowlege. f a omponent nees to be replae, make it a rule to only use original spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufaturers, e.g. brake pas or tyres that are not of iential imension, may rener your SCOTT bike unsafe. Risk of aient! H Remove the rehargeable battery or the isplay before oing any work on your SCOTT peele (e.g. serviing, repairs, assembly, maintenane, work on your rive et.). tivating the rive systems unintentionally bears the risk of injury!
