TO ENSURE SAFETY
WARNING
• 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.
•
Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as
replacing components.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Because each bicycle may handle slightly differently depending on the model, be sure to
learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control
characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system
may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury.
• Do not apply the front brake too strongly. If you do so, the front wheel may lock and the
bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury may result.
• Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before riding the
bicycle.
• Because the required braking distance will be longer during wet weather, reduce your
speed and apply the brakes early and gently. You may fall or collide and be seriously
injured.
• A wet road surface may cause tires to lose traction; therefore, to avoid this, reduce your
speed and apply the brakes early and gently. If the tires lose traction, you may fall and be
seriously injured.
• Do not allow any oil or grease to get onto the brake shoes. Riding the bicycle with oil or
grease on the brake shoes may prevent the brakes from operating and result in serious
injury due to a fall or collision.
• Do not use the brake cable if it has any rust, fraying, or cracks. Otherwise, the brakes may
not work correctly.
„ Dual control lever
• Do not throw or subject this product to strong shocks. If this is not observed, bursting,
overheating or problems with operation may occur.
• When operating the shift switch, be careful not to allow your fingers to be caught in the
derailleur. The motor in the derailleur is powerful enough to be operated without
stopping until the shifting position is reached, and may cause serious injury if your
fingers interfere with the shifting motion.
