TO ENSURE SAFETY
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
Shift the shift lever one or two gears at a time. During shifting, reduce the pedal pressure. If you try to force
operation of the shift lever or suddenly shift three or more gears while the pedals are being turned strongly,
your feet may come off the pedals and the bicycle may fall over, which could result in serious injury.
Operating the shift lever to multi-shift to a light gear may also cause the outer casing to spring out of the shift
lever. This does not affect the capabilities of the shift lever because the outer casing returns to the original
position after shifting.
Disc brake type
Do not touch the calipers or disc brake rotor while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle.
The calipers and disc brake rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated, so you may get burned if you
touch them.
Disc brakes have a bed-in period, and the braking force will gradually increase as the bed-in period progresses.
Accidents or falls may occur due to losing control of the bicycle, possibly resulting in serious injury. The same
thing will happen when the brake pads or disc brake rotor are replaced.
Coaster brake type
Do not touch the coaster brake while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle. The coaster
brake will become hot when the brakes are operated, so you may get burned if you touch them.
Do not continuously apply the brakes when riding down long slopes. This will cause the internal brake parts to
become very hot, weakening braking performance, as well as causing a reduction in the amount of brake
grease inside the brake, which can lead to problems such as abnormally sudden braking.
Perform the bed-in procedure and check that the braking force of the coaster brake is correct.
Roller brake type
When the brake is used frequently, do not touch the area around the brake for at least 30 minutes after
riding the bicycle. The area around the brake may become hot.
Area around the brake
Do not continuously apply the brakes when riding down long slopes. This will cause the internal brake parts to
become very hot, weakening braking performance, as well as causing a reduction in the amount of brake
