For Installation To The Bicycle, And Maintenance; Disc Brake Rotor Adapter - Shimano BR-M8000 Dealer's Manual

TO ENSURE SAFETY
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• When the bicycle wheel has been removed, it is recommended that pad spacers are installed. Do not depress the brake lever while the wheel is
removed. If the brake lever is depressed without the pad spacers installed, the pistons will protrude further than normal. If that happens, consult a
dealer.
• Use soapy water and a dry cloth when cleaning and carrying out maintenance of the brake system. Do not use commercially available brake cleansers
or silencing agents. Such substances can cause damage to parts such as seals.
• In the case of carbon levers, wash them with a soft cloth using a neutral detergent. Otherwise, the material may break down and be damaged.
• Avoid leaving the carbon levers in areas of high temperature. Also keep them well away from fire.
• Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

• The 203mm and 180mm disc brake rotors have a larger diameter than the 160mm disc brake rotors for cross-country bicycles, and so the flexing of
these disc brake rotors is greater. As a result, they will interfere with the brake pads.
• If the brake caliper mounting boss and the fork end are not parallel, the disc brake rotor and caliper may touch.
• When the bicycle wheel has been removed, it is recommended that pad spacers are installed. The pad spacers will prevent the piston from coming out
if the brake lever is depressed while the wheel is removed.
• If the brake lever is depressed without the pad spacers installed, the pistons will protrude further than is normal. Use a flat-shaped tool to push back
the brake pads, while being careful not to damage the surfaces of the brake pads.
(If the brake pads are not installed, use a flat-shaped tool to push the pistons straight back in, while being careful not to damage them.)
If it is difficult to push the brake pads or pistons back, remove the bleed screws and then try again. (Note that some oil may overflow from the
reservoir tank at this time.)
• Use isopropyl alcohol, soapy water or a dry cloth when cleaning and carrying out maintenance of the brake system. Do not use commercially available
brake cleansers or silencing agents. Such substances can cause damage to parts such as seals.
• Do not remove the pistons when disassembling the calipers.
• If the disc brake rotor is worn, cracked or warped, it should be replaced.
„SM-RTAD05 Disc brake rotor adapter
• When using this disc brake rotor adapter to install disc brake rotors, the structure of the adapter means that there will be more play than normal in
the disc brake rotor. Because of this, the disc brake rotor may interfere with the brake pads. Furthermore, it may also interfere with the calipers in the
radial direction (upward).
• This product cannot be used with the 6-bolt disc brake rotor that is installed with an aluminum adapter (SM-RT86/RT76).
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is intended mainly to explain the procedures for using
the product.
