If you are unsure of any of the following steps please take you bike
to an Authorised Scott Dealer for assistance. Do not try to undertake
the work yourself as this could cause damage to your bike, and may
cause an accident if incorrect assembled/dis-assembled or set-up is
followed.
Basic Shock Pump Set -Up:
A Scott Shock pump has a special valve head and the following steps should be
followed to make sure the correct pressure is applied.
Please note the air will flow into the hose and gauge when counterchecking the air
pressure. This will give the appearance that the shock has less air pressure, your
shock may need to be adjusted.
Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max. 10%.
To access the shock first
remove the cover.

Attach the upper shock pump head to the
shock valve, making sure the lower part of the
pump head stays in the lower position.
Do not screw upwards together.
Then screw the lower pump head upto the
base of the upper shock pump head.
Make sure there is no gap between the two
shock pump heads. Then pump the air to the
required pressure.
Once the required pressure has been reached,
unscrew the lower shock pump head first.
Making sure the upper part stays in position.
Unscrew the upper shock pump head from the
shock valve.
Please follow the below steps depending on which shock pump type you have.
5 step or second 3 step.

ENGLISH / SPARK TECH MANUAL
Sag:
1. Make sure before any adjustment is made that your shock and forks are in the
open position. To do this press the twinloc upper silver lever twice.
2. With the shock pump attached to the rear shock valve, pump your desired
pressure into the shock. Once the pressure
is achieved, remove the pump. Then slowly
compress and decompress your shock
through 20% of its travel 10 times. This
will equalize the positive and negative air
chambers, if needed add or reduce pressure
and repeat.
3. Once your desired pressure is reached sit on your bike in your usual riding
position (in your riding gear: if you carry a bag/Hydration-system put it on,) don’t
“bounce” the suspension while doing this, use a wall or a friend for support if
needed. Do not sit on your bike with the shock pump attached to the bike.
4. Use the markings indicated in the linkage and front triangle to check your sag
position. Adjust the pressure as required for your personal sag setting.
5. Recommended Sag is 20% - 25%

Rebound:
Rebound describes the speed the shock returns back to its original length after
absorbing an obstacle, setting of this is very important for the handling and correct
function of the bike.
The rebound adjustment lever can be found on the head of the shock.
After the shock pressure/sag is correctly set ride your bike in a safe area with your
riding gear/backpack, etc. While remaining in the saddle, ride you bike o a drop/
kerb of about 10-15 cm.
• If it bounces 1-2 times and settles the set-up is good.
• If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast, turn the knob 1-2 “clicks”
clockwise and repeat.
• If there is no bounce the rebound is too slow, turn the knob 1-2 click counter
clockwise and repeat.
• Repeat these steps until the desired result is achieved.
Your SCOTT SPARK bike was designed to be used in conjunction with a specific
shock and forks, changing the shock or forks on your bike may cause poor/unsafe
riding characteristics or damage to frame and components, please consult your
SCOTT dealer for any assistance you need, failure to do this may aect your warranty
