It is recommended to use SHIMANO genuine 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:
• Downhill bicycle riding and freeriding are inherently dangerous activities. There is a risk
of being involved in an accident that can result in a serious injury or even death. It is
strongly recommended that riders wear protective head and body gear and perform
thorough safety checks of their bicycles before riding. Please remember that you are
riding at your own risk and that you have to consider your experience and your skills
very carefully.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the bicycle. If there are
any cracks, the crank arm may break and you may fall off the bicycle.
• Be careful not to let the hemming of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding.
Otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
CAUTION
For installation to the bicycle, and maintenance:
• There is the danger of injury from the tips of the teeth on the chainrings.
NOTE
For installation to the bicycle, and maintenance:
• Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom bracket. Using alkaline or
