Scott TIME TRIAL MACHINE Owner's Manual page 31

CAUTION
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side
opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel
accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc
brakes and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to
mount both quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This
helps you not to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you
from having your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any ques-
tions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
WARNING
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the
wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release the
wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the
pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars.
In the case of hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a
precise pressure point.
NOTICE
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the
frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it
outside. Anti-theft protection!
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT
dealer.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If your SCOTT road bike has thru axles, read the manuals of the thru-axle
and wheel manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the
web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages
of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
