To Ensure Safety; Inter - Shimano Nexus Inter-8 Dealer's Manual

TO ENSURE SAFETY

WARNING
• When installing components, be sure to follow the instructions that are given in the instruction manuals.
It is recommended that you use only genuine Shimano parts. 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:
• 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 a fall, 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 owners manual, and by practicing your riding and braking technique.
• The brake levers are equipped with a mode switching mechanism to make them compatible with cantilever brakes and roller
brakes or V-BRAKE brakes with power modulator.
If the incorrect mode is selected it may cause either excessive or insufficient braking force to occur, which could
result in dangerous accidents.
Be sure to select the mode in accordance with the instructions given in the table below.
