• All manuals and technical documents are accessible online at https://si.shimano.com. • For consumers who do not have easy access to the internet, please contact a SHIMANO distributor or any of the SHIMANO offices to obtain a hardcopy of the User's Manual.
• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product. Only use SHIMANO genuine parts. If a component or replacement part is incorrectly assembled or adjusted, it can lead to component failure and cause the rider to lose control and crash.

TO ENSURE SAFETY For installation to the bicycle and maintenance • Use the brake and dual control levers or brake lever in the combinations specified in the following table. Do not use the combinations with the “NO” indication in the table. This will excessively increase the braking force, which could cause you to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and be seriously injured.
Page 7
TO ENSURE SAFETY • Securely tighten the caliper brake fixing nuts to the specified tightening torque. If the nuts become loose and the brakes fall off, they may get caught up in the bicycle and the bicycle may fall over. In particular, if this happens with the front wheel, you may be thrown forward and seriously injured.

• Avoid leaving the carbon levers in areas of high temperature. Also keep them well away from fire. • When combined with a ceramic rim, SHIMANO road brake shoes wear down more quickly. • If the brake shoes have worn down until the grooves are no longer visible, consult your place of purchase or a distributor.
Page 9
TO ENSURE SAFETY • For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO lubricants and maintenance products. For installation to the bicycle and maintenance • Use an outer casing / electric wire which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to either side.

Installation/removal Installing the dual control lever Lift up the port junction. Bracket cover Port junction NOTICE • When removing / inserting dummy plugs or electric wires, be sure the port junction is firmly supported by hand or by the bracket body. Otherwise you may cause damage to the inner connecting wires of the dual control lever.
Page 14
Installation/removal Installing the dual control lever Connect the electric wire. If required, first remove the dummy plug of the E-TUBE port. Be sure to push it in firmly with the TL-EW300 until you feel a click. For instructions on using the TL-EW300, refer to the ROAD Di2 Dealer's Manual General Guide.
Installation/removal Installing the brake cable TECH TIPS • PC linkage devices can be connected to the E-TUBE port when performing maintenance. However, leave the dummy plug attached to the unused E-TUBE port when a PC linkage device is not in use. Wire, connect, and check the connection of the outer casing and electric wire.
Installation/removal Installing the brake cable NOTICE • Be careful not to let the BC-9000 inner cable come into contact with the shifting lever or the metallic part (adjustment section) of the caliper brake. If the coating of the cable gets abraded during installation, it may develop a fuzzy appearance, although this will not affect performance.
