TO ENSURE SAFETY

TO ENSURE SAFETY
• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
It is recommended that you use SHIMANO genuine parts. Loose nuts or bolts and product damage may cause a sudden accident such as a fall and lead
to serious injury.
• Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing components.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• If you have adjusted the pin length in order to increase the gripping force between the shoes and the pedal bodies (the force which stops shoes from
slipping sideways), raise your feet from the pedals and then slide them sideways to disengage your feet from the pedals. Otherwise, you may fall and
be seriously injured.
• With one foot firmly on the ground, practice engaging and disengaging the other foot from the pedal repeatedly until you become used to the
operation. If you cannot get used to this operation, use the product with spacers installed.
• Be sure to wear clothing and protective gear which is suitable for the way in which the bicycle is to be used. Because the pins are long, they may cause
injury if they come into direct contact with your skin.
• Do not continue riding the bicycle if the reflectors are dirty or damaged. Otherwise, it becomes more difficult for oncoming vehicles to see you.
• Be sure to attach reflectors to the bicycle when traveling on public roads.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Check that there is no looseness in any joints or connections before riding the bicycle.
• If pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• Be sure to retighten the crank arms and pedals at periodic intervals at the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.
• 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:
• Be sure to retighten the crank arms and pedals at periodic intervals.
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is intended chiefly to explain the procedures for using
