SM-BH96

General Safety Information

WARNING
• After installing SM-BH96 hose to the brake unit, adding brake fluid and
bleeding air bubbles, depress the lever again several times to check
that the brakes are operating normally and there are no fluid leaks
from the hose or the system.
• Do not reuse the olive piece or the connector insert when reinstalling.
A damaged or reused olive or the connector insert may not provide
secure hose connection, possibly causing the hose to disconnect from
the calipers or brake lever. If the hose becomes disconnected, there is
the danger that the brakes may suddenly stop working.
• Cut the hose so that the cut end is perpendicular to the length of the
hose. If the hose is cut at an angle, fluid leaks may result.
• If fluid leaks occur, immediately stop using the brakes and carry out
the appropriate repairs. If you continue riding the bicycle while fluid is
leaking, there is the danger that the brakes may suddenly stop
working.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the
parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause serious injury to the
rider.
We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in
a safe place for later reference.
CAUTION
• When cutting the hose, handle the knife carefully so as not to cause
injury.
• Be careful to avoid injury from the olive.
Note
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
• Read these Service Instructions together with the Service Instructions
for the BR-M965 / M966.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants
and maintenance products.
In order to realize the best performance, we
recommend that the following combination be used.
