Safety Information; To Ensure Safety - Shimano BR-M8000 Dealer's Manual

TO ENSURE SAFETY

TO ENSURE SAFETY
• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
It is recommended to use genuine Shimano parts only. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over,
which may cause serious injury.
In addition, if adjustments are not carried out correctly, problems may occur, and the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.
• Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing parts.
• After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• The 203mm and 180mm disc brake rotors provide a higher braking force than the 160mm disc brake rotors. Make sure that you completely understand
the braking characteristics before using the brakes.
• Each bicycle may handle slightly differently depending on the model.
Therefore, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your
bicycle. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury. For proper operation,
consult a professional bicycle dealer or the bicycle's owner's manual. It is also important to practice riding and braking, etc.
• Please make sure to keep your fingers away from the rotating disc brake rotor. The disc brake rotor is sharp enough to
inflict severe injury to your fingers if caught in the openings of the disc brake rotor while it is moving.
• The calipers and disc brake rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated; do not touch them while riding or immediately after dismounting
from the bicycle. Otherwise you may get burned.
• Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the disc brake rotor and brake pads. Otherwise the brakes may not work correctly.
• If any oil or grease does get on the brake pads, you should consult a dealer or an agency. Otherwise the brakes may not work correctly.
• If noise occurs during brake operation, the brake pads may have been worn down to the usable limit. Check that brake
system temperature has cooled down sufficiently, check the thickness of the brake pad. If the thickness is 0.5mm or
less, the brake pad needs to be replaced with a new one. Consult a dealer or an agency.
• If the disc brake rotor is cracked or deformed, immediately stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency.
• If the disc brake rotor becomes worn down to a thickness of 1.5mm or less, or if the aluminum surface appears, immediately stop using the brakes and
consult a dealer or an agency. The disc brake rotor may break, and you may fall off the bicycle.
• Vapor lock may occur if the brakes are applied continuously. To solve this problem, momentarily release the lever.
Vapor lock occurs when the oil inside the brake system becomes heated, which causes the water or air bubbles inside the brake system to expand.
This can then result in a sudden increase in the brake lever stroke.
