Sheltering And Storing Your Scott Bike - Scott GENIUS 920 General Manual

NOTICE
Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or grease stains
from paint and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing agents containing
acetone, methyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing, non-neutral or
chemical cleaning agents that could attack the surface!
Do not clean your SCOTT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a water jet and
if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the bearings.

SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR SCOTT BIKE

If you regularly look after your SCOTT bike during the season, you will not need to
take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it
against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your SCOTT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the
winter months, please observe the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to
gradually lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your SCOTT bike is
left standing on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to the
structure of the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire SCOTT
bike (d) or to check the tyre pressure regularly (e). Clean your SCOTT bike and
protect it against corrosion. Your SCOTT dealer has special maintenance products,
e.g. spray wax (f).
Dismount the seat post and let dry away possibly penetrated humidity. Spray a
little finely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a car-
bon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest sprocket.
This relaxes the cables and the springs.
NOTICE
Do not hang your SCOTT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead at least one
aluminium wheel.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are hardly any waiting times at your SCOTT dealer during the winter
months. In addition, many of the SCOTT dealers offer an annual check-up at a
special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your SCOTT dealer to do the
scheduled maintenance work!
