WARNING
– To avoid serious injuries:

carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose,
worn, or damaged parts may cause serious
injury to the rider.
We strongly recommend only using genuine
Shimano replacement parts.
Technical Service Instructions
It is important to completely understand the
operation of your bicycle's brake system.
Improper use of your bicycle's brake system
may result in a loss of control or an accident,
which could lead to severe injury. Because
each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to
learn the proper braking technique (including
brake lever pressure and bicycle control
characteristics) and operation of your bicycle.
This can be done by consulting your
professional bicycle dealer and the bicycle's
Be sure to read these service instructions in
owners manual, and by practicing your riding

– To avoid serious injuries:
Be sure to shift the lever one gear at a time, and
reduce the force being applied to the pedals
during shifting. If you try to force operation of the
shifting lever while the pedals are being turned
strongly, your feet may come off the pedals and
the bicycle may topple over, which could result
in serious injury.
NOTE:
For maximum performance we highly
recommend Shimano lubricants and
maintenance products.
Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear
or deterioration resulting from normal use.
