General Safety Information
WARNING
"Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding circumstances. Clean
regularly the chain with an appropriate chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or
acid based solvents such as rust cleaners. If those solvent be used chain might
break and cause serious injury."
• In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, the CN-7901 / 6701 / 5701 has a forward side
and a reverse side, and the sides are marked so that the CN-7901 / 6701 / 5701 will face the
correct way when installed. The proper design performance will be obtained when the CN-7901 /
6701 / 5701 is installed so that it faces the correct way. If it is installed so that it faces the opposite
way, the chain may come off and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or
tool which is not suitable for the
type of chain is used, sufficient

chain such as
• Make sure that the connecting
CN-7901 / 6701 / 5701 /
pin is aligned with the outer link
7801 / 6600 / 5600
surface from the side that the
pin is inserted. It should feel smooth and flush when you run your
finger over it. The pin will protrude slightly on the backside after the
break off pin is removed.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a change in
the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at some other place than
the place where the chain has been joined using a reinforced
connecting pin. The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it
has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not
damaged. If the tension is too weak or the chain is damaged, the chain
should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break and cause
serious injury.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or
damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly
recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not
carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could
result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried out smoothly, clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving
parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace
the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end of the
bicycle. Also check if the cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.
• You should periodically wash the sprockets in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In
addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be a effective way of extending
the useful life of the sprockets and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS
shifting function due to its high cable resistance.
• The tension pulley has an arrow on it to indicate the direction of rotation. Install the tension pulley so
that the arrow is pointing clockwise when looking at the outer side of the derailleur.
• The end of the outer casing which has the aluminum cap should be at the derailleur side
(RD-6700).
Derailleur side
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please
contact a professional bicycle dealer.

4. How to use the B-tension adjustment screw
Mount the chain on the smallest chainring and the largest
sprocket, and turn the crank arm backward. Then turn the B-
tension adjustment screw to adjust the guide pulley as close
to the sprocket as possible but not so close that it touches.
Next, set the chain to the smallest sprocket and repeat the
above to make sure that the pulley does not touch the
sprocket.

chain to the 2nd sprocket. Then, while pressing the
lever just enough to take up the play in the lever, turn
the crank arm.

Best setting
The best setting is when the
shifting lever is operated just
enough to take up the play and
the chain touches the 3rd
sprocket and makes noise.
* Return the lever to its original position (the position
where the lever is at the 2nd sprocket setting and it
has been released) and then turn the crank arm
clockwise. If the chain is touching the 3rd sprocket
and making noise, turn the outer casing adjustment
barrel clockwise slightly to tighten it until the noise
stops and the chain runs smoothly.
Operate lever to change gears, and check that no
noise occurs in any of the gear positions.
For the best SIS performance, periodically lubricate all
power-transmission parts.
